Find out in this report how the two Remote Access solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."A single login based on a second authentication factor is giving us the possibility of integrating third-party services for authentication based on a security scheme."
"The safety of online interactions when working with this product has enabled members to convene productive meetings without fear of being attacked."
"The tool is easy to configure and use. We integrated it with Active Directory to manage user authentication. It's intuitive and transparent, making it simple for users to use. It connects automatically to the VPN whenever users turn on the laptop. The product is efficient and offers centralized control."
"Scalability is great. We have been able to grow as a corporation due in part to this type of solution."
"The initial set up is not complex."
"The solution offers great security features, including zero-day protection, malware protection, anti-phishing, et cetera."
"We use it to connect our sites. We have a couple of sites that need to interconnect."
"It offers a simple configuration and setup."
"Setup and installation was simple."
"Being able to aggregate all connections (RDP, FTP, SSH, VPN, etc.) in the same interface and make each server readily available in the same way, which lets me focus on the problem regardless of where it is."
"Devolutions's team is constantly making improvements to their products. If you submit a feature request, they are usually quick to implement it."
"One credential can be used to access VPN, RDS, and more."
"Being able to store my credentials makes connecting a breeze."
"Documentation per entry, good for device configs or important/special instructions."
"Allows us to configure limited access to resources with the security-based role feature (which we use for trainees and new employees)."
"RDM has enabled me to do most of my work in one place. This helps me be able to have an RDP session open to a server in one tab and an SSH session open to a VMware host in another."
"Connection of devices from various locations is efficient though there are a few challenges when there is a network failure."
"The product’s architecture is a bit distributed."
"I would like this service to be easier to manage when you integrate it with third parties."
"The fully-featured security module is only supported on Windows and Mac systems, which means that organizations with Linux will face issues providing secure access."
"The connection has gotten less smooth as the number of users increases. The issue is that the logs fill up quickly. Too many users are connecting remotely. It worked great when we only had a few remote connections. Now, it is disconnecting people and dropping the internet connection."
"Generally, the license is included with the Check Point gateway licensing, however, in terms of the number of users that can be activated for use, it is generally five users."
"They could add more features, like the security to block off the doors, or create another hatch, something like this. They could make the features safer, add malware to make my mail and the Kryon system safer and to protect data at an earlier stage."
"In the case of URL translation of the VPN Web portal, the requests made from the front end to the back end weren't valid (due to the use of dynamic subdomains). In the case of host translations, the request was made to the same host, however, we cannot specify the ports, which, in our case, are used to redirect to different servers."
"The only complaint I have heard is there are too many updates. Each time there is an update (the app prompts to upgrade), it can be time consuming, especially when sometimes there are multiple updates per week."
"On complex setups, I actually needed to reach out to support to get it working correctly."
"The RDM client (.NET issue, actually) can stall or lock up while it clears communication threads to the server."
"The filing system of connections is a little clunky, but is completely functional."
"Maybe some clipboard functions could be added along with integration of different software."
"Security roles could be improved, especially by enabling renaming of a role."
"Sometimes the manual inventory of some entries hangs, and RDM must be closed via task manager."
"If there was a way to streamline the process, it would make it nice."
