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."The solution has good performance."
"It's an ideal gateway solution for small and medium businesses, i.e., around 300 devices can be easily handled."
"The solution offers great security features, including zero-day protection, malware protection, anti-phishing, et cetera."
"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."
"Once we install and connect the VPN service, it keeps on running until we disconnect."
"For a basic setup, implementation is quite easy."
"Setup using the manuals was easy."
"To maintain the authorization of the connected user, Check Point provides multi-factor authentication for an RA VPN client to make sure legitimate users have access to resources."
"Check Point Remote Access VPN is a stable solution."
"The solution is very quick to connect."
"It is easy to configure."
"The point-to-site is pretty good for the B2C stuff. It's fairly straightforward to set up."
"It is scalable and depends on your chosen network bandwidth."
"The product has valuable virtual machines, viability options, and enhanced VPN services, enabling the option to use it in different zones."
"The most valuable feature is the networking. I didn't have a good experience with the networking that Sophos has."
"The Azure tool is useful and powerful and availability for clients. The updates are very good and reliable."
"All of our offices are using Microsoft Azure VPN Gateway. The solution is scalable."
"There must be a more easy-to-use GUI."
"Check Point Remote Access VPN's enterprise support could be improved."
"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."
"I would like the support to be faster."
"The maximum it is giving us is only 5 licenses and if you need more, they must be purchased separately."
"It's difficult to configure on Linux workstations as Check Point Remote VPN clients support only Windows and Mac devices."
"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."
"There were some issues with automation and instability."
"The Compliance software blade is available only for the Windows operating systems family, so no macOS security checks are implemented and performed."
"They should release a less expensive version of the solution."
"Documentation and configuration settings can be improved."
"Microsoft Azure VPN Gateway could improve by providing IPS zero-day threat protection. For example, the IPS zero-day threat protection can monitor the user behavior to protect the infrastructure. The solution can only be used as a VPN, it is lacking features."
"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."
"Microsoft could work on having micro VPNs to integrate with mobile devices."
"Considering my past interactions with Microsoft's support team, it is difficult to get the right support unless you find the right person to speak with from the customer support team."
"In the next release, Microsoft should add an option to schedule upgrades."
"The marketing material in the portal is not very user-friendly."
