We performed a comparison between Check Point Remote Access VPN and Parallels Access based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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."I like the fact that Remote Access allows the administrator to control and manage things. It makes things smoother, and it has been an excellent experience."
"Check Point has been perfect for protecting us from any type of attack or data theft during remote management."
"The solution has been solid for me for over five years."
"It allows everyone to work from home. If no one could work from home, then we wouldn't have a company, especially now during COVID-19. It's mission-critical, especially since it's currently being used. If there is a problem with it, we would really be screwed. We would be hard-pressed because we would have to figure out what solution we're going to go with, how to deploy it, how long it would take to deploy it, and how we'd even get it on people's computers if we couldn't VPN to them. It would be near impossible to just change to a new VPN solution right now."
"It is easy to install the Endpoint Remote Access VPN client to different platforms."
"The product's initial setup phase was easy."
"One of the most outstanding features is the ability to deliver third-party services and achieve double authenticity with integrated identities."
"Scalability is great. We have been able to grow as a corporation due in part to this type of solution."
"It's great that the total deployment can happen completely remotely."
"It's got a very easy-to-use interface."
"We don't have problems with stability. Everything is good."
"Parallels Access gives me full access and control of the computer, and I can do anything I want remotely."
"Parallels Access has flexible licensing policies, which is beneficial for customers who have intermittent usage or users who are on and off the system."
"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 VPN remote Access blade could be improved."
"The Linux version may have an app (similar to Windows) instead of a shell script."
"The non-standard setup is quite complex as you have to do changes via GUI and CLI."
"In my organization, there aren't Linux users, however, I know it has difficulties offering secure access for customers who use this operating system."
"Improved scalability would allow the solution to handle larger numbers of users and devices without a significant impact on performance."
"I would like this service to be easier to manage when you integrate it with third parties."
"The Compliance software blade is available only for the Windows operating systems family, so no macOS security checks are implemented and performed."
"One challenge we do notice is that the application is limited to Windows servers only. If a customer has a Linux server, things get complicated. They should open it up a bit to be more compatible with different types of servers."
"The solution may not scale well for enterprises."
"They could improve the reporting."
"There is room for improvement in the pricing policy. The price point is pretty aggressive."
"When you want to transfer a file from your iPad or remote device to the computer, the copy-and-paste feature doesn't always work."
