We performed a comparison between Check Point Remote Access VPN and Microsoft Intune 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."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."
"It offers a simple configuration and setup."
"The secure hotspot access for enabling good network connectivity is great."
"Setting policies allow, block, and limit users' access."
"A single login based on a second authentication factor is giving us the possibility of integrating third-party services for authentication based on a security scheme."
"Access is browser-based only and requires no additional client installation."
"The solution offers high scalability as far as adding more users."
"The clients of the customers have a facility to access the enterprise network."
"The most valuable feature is the UEM capabilities."
"The ability to (somewhat) manage full Windows 10 computers including EXE-based or MSI-based application deployments using Azure Active Directory as Identity."
"It's really easy to access."
"Autopilot is the most valuable feature."
"The initial setup is not complex."
"Users can make screenshots, and devices only need the minimal version of iOS."
"The initial setup is not overly complex or difficult."
"Technical support, in general, has been quite helpful."
"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."
"I would like the support to be faster."
"Price category and smooth renewal of agreement should be considered for flawless and quick onboarding of clients and partners."
"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."
"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."
"The maximum it is giving us is only 5 licenses and if you need more, they must be purchased separately."
"Sometimes the application slows down the computing device, and this affects workflows."
"It would be good to have Remote Access VPN solutions for Check Point edge services."
"Microsoft Intune could improve by being more user-friendly and having it geared toward device management. The graphic interface is not very good."
"The reporting needs to be a bit more interactive."
"The current Intune reporting functionality could benefit from some improvements."
"The documentation about the custom image setup could be better. Although Microsoft provides the steps to configure Intune or set up or deploy Intune, it doesn't have much information related to custom images. If you ask, "how can we deploy the custom image?" There is no information. The steps they mention ask you to connect to your on-premises environment or create your own image on the cloud itself once there is connectivity. But I needed to go to multiple websites to get all this information. I had to figure out how to upload the custom image if you want to use the on-premise custom image for Cloud PC. If you have the proper subscription, you must have the right access, like global admin or owner. Then you can add your custom image to that. There are no steps mentioned over there. Microsoft Intune doesn't have Chrome browser support. I would like to have that support because they will want it if we pitch the product to clients."
"We only have major classifications for iOS and Android, but there are different brands that have different cycles of updates. If they can fine-tune it to make it more brand-specific, that would be even better."
"Enhancements for managing MacOS more comprehensively would be beneficial."
"The configuration could be better by consolidating options and making it simpler."
"It needs certificate provisioning for S/MIME purposes."
