It connects automatically to the VPN whenever users turn on the laptop. The product is efficient and offers centralized control."
"The most valuable feature is the seamless access."
"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 operates effectively, particularly during challenges like adversities or infrastructure issues."
"The initial set up is not complex."
"It is a scalable solution...The technical support team of the solution is very good."
"The most important feature of Check Point Remote Access VPN is the multiple factor authentication."
"The solution has been solid for me for over five years."
"The interoperability with various firewall and access gateway vendors is one of this solution's most valuable features"
"It sends us a lot of detections when we have any anti-virus updates. It provides the extended time needed to update a set of time needs and notifications."
"All of our offices are using Microsoft Azure VPN Gateway. The solution is scalable."
"It is scalable and depends on your chosen network bandwidth."
"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Azure VPN Gateway is its performance. It is very fast."
"The side-to-side connections are valuable."

"The product has valuable virtual machines, viability options, and enhanced VPN services, enabling the option to use it in different zones."
"There must be a more easy-to-use GUI."
"The VPN remote Access blade could be improved."
"We'd like to integrate Check Point into the Remote Access VPN solution and have the ability to integrate multiple devices as access points through the solution."
"The client-side UI is fundamental, and there is nothing to see."
"Sometimes we have some small problems with Check Point Remote Access VPN. For example, problems with authentication."
"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."
"Price category and smooth renewal of agreement should be considered for flawless and quick onboarding of clients and partners."
"We are very happy with the Windows client. You log in with the VPN for the full client, you do the log in there. But for Linux machines, they don't have a full client to install. It is important because we have some users that use Linux and they don't have a specific application from Check Point to use. That is something that could be improved."
"We would like to implement HTML5 (clientless access) in the product without installing any additional software."
"In future releases, I would like to see the ability to inject BGP routes."
"It isn't stabilized on the first day, and you need to set up the channels properly."
"Considering my past interactions with Microsoft's support team, it is difficult to get the right support unless you find the right person to speak with from the customer support team."
"Make it completely routable, for example, if I have a gateway, I should be able to connect to whatever network I want on either side of the gateway, and the gateway should figure out which packet goes where."
"The connectivity should be faster."
"Their technical support could be better. If you don't have a support contract, it takes longer."
"Microsoft Azure VPN Gateway could improve by providing IPS zero-day threat protection. For example, the IPS zero-day threat protection can monitor the user behavior to protect the infrastructure. The solution can only be used as a VPN, it is lacking features."
"In the next release, Microsoft should add an option to schedule upgrades."
