"It can improve an organization by providing secure access to resources for traveling employees, which can help to reduce the risk of data breaches or other security incidents."
"It is stable most of the time."
"Our number of users working remotely vastly increased during the COVID 19 pandemic. Check Point Remote Access VPN allowed us to quickly make the transition from in-office to remote work."
"The clients of the customers have a facility to access the enterprise network."
"The most important feature of Check Point Remote Access VPN is the multiple factor authentication."
"Thanks to all these security processes, our users can access our infrastructure with the certainty that we will not be compromised."

"We have multiple solutions we can deploy through the F5."
"It is a stable product from a stable company. Recently, they have been more focused on security as well."
"Its user interface is very easy to use on a day-to-day basis. It is very user-friendly."
"F5 BIG-IP is used with good applications and functions as an application firewall with additional features. We will not use any feature or any service unless there is a business case and there is a need for implementation."
"It is a scalable solution."
"The stability is excellent."
"NetFlow balancing and traffic balancing are good features."
"I would like the support to be faster."
"We have noted some stability issues."
"I cannot see the full effect of the endpoint solution because it relies on having access to the DNF queries, which might not go through the Check Point firewall when you're using it for perimeter networks. Check Point will not identify the actual source of the net queries. This may be related to the architecture, however, and not poor product issues. I don't know if it can be improved on the Check Point side or not."
"The client-side UI is fundamental, and there is nothing to see."
"Without a doubt and with the new trends in technology, Check Point should already have a blade with a 2MFA solution and not through some other vendor."
"We encounter challenges for the product’s installation and troubleshooting processes compared to other VPN products."
"They need to increase their timeout. Right now, it will fail after ten seconds, however, it shouldn't fail until after 20 seconds."
"I would like this service to be easier to manage when you integrate it with third parties."
"Initial setup is tricky, if you do not understand the design of this product."
"It is a hardware load balancer, and its installation procedure is more complex than a software load balancer. There are pros and cons of using hardware load balancing. You have to have specific hardware deployed in your data center to activate this load balancer. They never came up with any software-based load balancing solution. It is all hardware-based."
"I would like them to have more flexible models."
"Performance: Using the product, applications are jittery."
"The one gap I saw was that pure LBN integration is a little tricky. The insertion of F5 in LBN is a little tricky. They need to work on something, on products by which they can insert F5 in any sort of cloud environment."
"They need to improve the interface and some of the functionalities."
"The user interface could be improved in F5 BIG-IP Local Traffic Manager."
"LTM would be improved with the inclusion of signature-based blocking."
