We performed a comparison between Check Point Remote Access VPN and Microsoft Azure VPN Gateway based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Enterprise Infrastructure VPN solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."It's an ideal gateway solution for small and medium businesses, i.e., around 300 devices can be easily handled."
"The solution has good performance."
"The solution is easy for administrators because you can check logs and write rules on the same page."
"For a basic setup, implementation is quite easy."
"It is a scalable solution...The technical support team of the solution is very good."
"It is easy to install the Endpoint Remote Access VPN client to different platforms."
"It keeps us safe when browsing the internet and when sharing confidential information with our colleagues."
"Thanks to all these security processes, our users can access our infrastructure with the certainty that we will not be compromised."
"The policies are easy to use."
"The initial set up is not complex."
"It is scalable and depends on your chosen network bandwidth."
"The solution is very quick to connect."
"The product has valuable virtual machines, viability options, and enhanced VPN services, enabling the option to use it in different zones."
"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."
"It works perfectly for me. It is very user-friendly in terms of the configuration and the setup process."
"The ability to connect old protocols like Border Gateway Protocol is valuable."
"The Azure tool is useful and powerful and availability for clients. The updates are very good and reliable."
"The best feature is the ability to connect from anywhere."
"There must be a more easy-to-use GUI."
"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."
"We encounter challenges for the product’s installation and troubleshooting processes compared to other VPN products."
"Check Point Remote Access VPN could be more user-friendly."
"The main feature that would be improved within Check Point Remote Access is its operation within Linux OS, as it currently does not have many features for that OS."
"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."
"You have no ability to reserve a total number of licenses. The VPN user licenses are assigned per gateway, and if you enable MEP function is not so easy to size the gateway licenses."
"When you want to deploy a new Check Point agent, it is really a pain in the butt. For example, Windows 10 now has updates almost every couple of months. It changes the versioning and things under the hood. These are things that I don't understand, because I'm not a Windows person. However, I know that the Check Point client is installed on the Windows machine, and if the Check Point client's not kept up-to-date, then it's functionality breaks. It has to be up-to-date with the Windows versions. Check Point has to update the client more often. Now, the problem is that the Check Point client is not easy to update on remote computers and it's not easy to deploy a new client."
"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."
"In the next release, Microsoft should add an option to schedule upgrades."
"In future releases, I would like to see the ability to inject BGP routes."
"The product must provide a single sign-on."
"It isn't stabilized on the first day, and you need to set up the channels properly."
"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."
"They should release a less expensive version of the solution."
"I would like for them to improve the troubleshooting features. We have some problems with traffic and I can't identify where the problem is coming from. I have to open a ticket with support until it gets resolved. Microsoft doesn't offer enough tools to resolve the issue."
