We performed a comparison between Check Point Remote Access VPN and TeamViewer 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."Check Point has been perfect for protecting us from any type of attack or data theft during remote management."
"For us, it was essential to integrate with Active Directory, which is our credentials repository."
"The biggest advantage of Check Point Remote Access VPN is that we already use the Check Point firewall. We only needed to enable the feature and do the configuration in order to enable the VPN feature. We didn't need to buy or manage new hardware."
"Technical support has been excellent."
"We have more control over the activity that users have on the internal network, thanks to the monitoring offered by Check Point and the security provided by the gateway."
"The solution is easy for administrators because you can check logs and write rules on the same page."
"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."
"It keeps us safe when browsing the internet and when sharing confidential information with our colleagues."
"It is a scalable product."
"It is quite simple to set up."
"The most valuable feature of TeamViewer is user-friendliness."
"It is fairly feature-rich and stable."
"The implementation is quite straightforward."
"I don't know of any performance problems with TeamViewer - generally, it's a stable product."
"The TeamViewer system has some built-in security. The TeamViewer client connects to the TeamViewer host securely. Only a certain number of authorized users on our side have access to the system. Even within that, an individual endpoint can be assigned to a group, where not everybody has access but, rather, just one or two people who are part of a support team might have access to that particular device. So TeamViewer has given us tools to be able to segregate who has access to different things."
"Our computers are spread amongst six physical locations. TeamViewer reduces the need to travel to those offices to help staff."
"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."
"There is always room for innovation and the addition of new features."
"They need to increase their timeout. Right now, it will fail after ten seconds, however, it shouldn't fail until after 20 seconds."
"There needs to be a way to create a VPN client specific to our environment so that we can easily lock down who can connect."
"The ability to allow split-tunneling while still following our corporate policy needs to be on the table."
"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."
"The authentication that we handle is through a .p12 certificate, however, we have integrated it with a 2MFA service through another provider. Something that could improve Check Point is if it had its own 2MFA service through a blade or some sort of application."
"Check Point Remote Access VPN's enterprise support could be improved."
"TeamViewer could improve by adding support for other operating systems, such as Linux and CAKE."
"On occasion, when remote connection process can't connect to a machine, the error messages aren't always helpful to tell you why you can't connect, as the message doesn't help troubleshoot whether it is too slow, too much interference, etc. I usually have to run to another computer and figure out what is going on, then restart it. The diagnostics could be improved."
"It needs to have proper authentication. I would like to see in-depth integration with Google and Microsoft products, for example. It would be nice to have a cell phone version as well."
"This solution could be improved by offering more flexibility in terms of usage."
"Some of the additional features, like the meeting stuff, is making it too cluttered."
"The support could improve their speed."
"The solution could improve by increasing or removing the time limitation on the use of a session."
