A powerful VPN that is secure and reliable
The Remote Access VPN provides security to all computing devices across the organization. I can securely log in from a remote area and access the organization's data without physical appearance.  It is easy to collaborate with colleagues in the same networking area from different locations.  When…

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"One of the most outstanding features is the ability to deliver third-party services and achieve double authenticity with integrated identities."
"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."
"Thanks to all these security processes, our users can access our infrastructure with the certainty that we will not be compromised."
"Check Point has been perfect for protecting us from any type of attack or data theft during remote management."
"For a basic setup, implementation is quite easy."
"Our number of users working remotely vastly increased during the COVID 19 pandemic. Check Point Remote Access VPN allowed us to quickly make the transition from in-office to remote work."
"Setting policies allow, block, and limit users' access."
"The most important feature of Check Point Remote Access VPN is the multiple factor authentication."
"The most valuable feature is the ability for people to use LogMeIn's app that we install with our software, to bring us online with one click, so we can view their computer screens. It's easy and a lot of folks like it."
"I will say 100% in five years, I do not think we have had to use technical support for anything."
"​The initial setup is easy. If you want the desktop program, you just download and install it."
"There’s something called the dial-in so for people that use us all the time, we can have an icon on their screen and they can click that icon and we connect to them."
"With the product, I have never had an issue with it. I have never had to look up anything or call anyone."
"The tech support person I spoke to was very knowledgeable about the product, and was straightforward with me about its capabilities. There was no fluff about the product. They basically said this is not available now and we're hoping to have it available in the third or fourth quarter. It was nice to talk to someone who was straightforward and knew about the product."
"It has a feature that, when you take over the machine, you can get into the system administrator level. We’re able to tweak things on the machine as if we’re sitting there."
"Has an easy way to remote on to a remote computer without having prior access to it."
 

Cons

"Sometimes the application slows down the computing device, and this affects workflows."
"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."
"Some configurations, like idle timeout (the requirement came from multiple users), are not possible to configure directly from the Check Point management server."
"Generally, the license is included with the Check Point gateway licensing, however, in terms of the number of users that can be activated for use, it is generally five users."
"Improvements for Check Point Remote Access VPN could include enhancing mobile connectivity for a smoother user experience."
"We would like to see support for a layer seven VPN over UDP."
"There were some issues with automation and instability."
"It would be good to have Remote Access VPN solutions for Check Point edge services."
"Nothing's perfect but I think it's really a great tool just the way it is. The suggestion that I made to them at their user advisory board is that they combine the two products, Rescue and Central, into one because you really should have both. A bunch of the other people in that meeting very much liked that."
"The app itself requires so many different updates and it requires us to rebuild it every time, and that's been a bit of a problem, over the last five years, in keeping it up to date for our clients."
"​Network browsing and connecting on the LAN, because if you can't see the computers on your network​, what good is the product?"
"​The pricing, is a little on the high end but it's proven itself to be worth it for sure."
"You should be able to remote on an iPhone like you remote on an Android. It is not the same experience. Unless you are very savvy on iOS, you are pretty much lost.​"
"I do wish there was an application to manage all of the admin properties of the subscription, rather than having to use the web portal."
"They need to improve their technical support."
"I wish this product was tied to a Help Desk package so I could manage tickets and have an infrastructure, with this being the primary tool to troubleshoot."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Organizations that already have the Check Point NGFW need to purchase an additional license to have access to the VPN functionality."
"My understanding is that the pricing and licensing are very competitive, and it's not one of their more expensive products. We buy licenses for the solution and have licenses for the endpoint servers."
"There is a license required for this solution."
"I give the price of the solution a five out of ten."
"Check Point Remote Access VPN is not expensive and the cost is annual."
"My company makes yearly payments only towards the licensing costs attached to Check Point Remote Access VPN, as there are no extra costs attached to the product."
"The product is expensive. I rate its pricing a ten out of ten. For the cost of one product, we could purchase two or three Fortinet solutions with the same amount of money."
"I can say that the licensing costs are charged annually."
"Right now, I'm using ScreenConnect, which is about $45 per technician. Unless I buy LogMeIn with a large license and commit for the long-term and prepay, I will have to pay almost $120 per user a month. It's almost three times the price over the normal price for ScreenConnect, which is very similar in regards to all of the features that LogMeIn Rescue can do."
"It is ​on the medium to high side. For us, it is worth it. For the amount of time they save us, it pretty much pays for itself.​"
"Look at the different plans they have. Do not pay for a plan you do not need.​"
"While LogMeIn Rescue is a great product and a leader in the industry, it's way pricey. Price is the most negative thing about LogMeIn Rescue."
"The pricing is a little on the higher side, though.​"
"The cost of LogMeIn is high... I went with another product that was going to give me savings of 50%. One technician tested it, he gave us the thumbs up. Then once we moved all my technicians to it, but it didn’t work... Trying to move from LogMeIn hindered our performance and productivity and it was not worth the savings."
"The only downside is pricing. I think each technician license is somewhere around $100 or $120 a month now. So if you have a lot of technicians, it can get expensive, for a small business."
"The pricing is worth the value."
