Find out what your peers are saying about TeamViewer, Microsoft, Citrix and others in Remote Access."I'm using Apache Guacamole as a gateway."
"The VPN hides your IP address and encrypts your online traffic and it essentially ensures that your fingerprints cannot be traced on the Internet."
"Thanks to all these security processes, our users can access our infrastructure with the certainty that we will not be compromised."
"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. This was a big advantage."
"The policies are easy to use."
"The solution is easy for administrators because you can check logs and write rules on the same page."
"Check Point Remote Access VPN enables us to access on-premise applications while working from remote locations."
"Check Point has been perfect for protecting us from any type of attack or data theft during remote management."
"It offers a simple configuration and setup."
"The solution's USB redirection could be improved."
"There was complexity in the initial setup."
"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."
"In an environment with multiple cluster checkpoints, the global properties common to all clusters in some cases give problems."
"Compliance Check on Check Point should be improved by having more configurable conditions to support multi-platforms and adding more granularity."
"Check Point Remote Access VPN's current configuration has some limitations and issues. One major drawback is the inability to configure multiple gateways from the same management server for VPN access."
"Some configurations, like idle timeout (the requirement came from multiple users), are not possible to configure directly from the Check Point management server."
"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."
"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."
