We performed a comparison between Check Point Remote Access VPN and Parallels Access 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."
"It is easy to install the Endpoint Remote Access VPN client on different platforms."
"It operates effectively, particularly during challenges like adversities or infrastructure issues."
"The solution offers great security features, including zero-day protection, malware protection, anti-phishing, et cetera."
"It keeps us safe when browsing the internet and when sharing confidential information with our colleagues."
"The policies are easy to use."
"The ability to create your trigger data domains is the solution's most valuable feature."
"Parallels Access gives me full access and control of the computer, and I can do anything I want remotely."
"It's got a very easy-to-use interface."
"Parallels Access has flexible licensing policies, which is beneficial for customers who have intermittent usage or users who are on and off the system."
"It's great that the total deployment can happen completely remotely."
"We don't have problems with stability. Everything is good."
"It's difficult to configure on Linux workstations as Check Point Remote VPN clients support only Windows and Mac devices."
"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 could be more user-friendly."
"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 needs to be a way to create a VPN client specific to our environment so that we can easily lock down who can connect."
"This is the best version we are using, however, if some changes can be made in the next release, I'd like to see adjustments to the time period and internet connectivity."
"There is always room for innovation and the addition of new features."
"We would like to see support for a layer seven VPN over UDP."
"There is room for improvement in the pricing policy. The price point is pretty aggressive."
"When you want to transfer a file from your iPad or remote device to the computer, the copy-and-paste feature doesn't always work."
"The solution may not scale well for enterprises."
"One challenge we do notice is that the application is limited to Windows servers only. If a customer has a Linux server, things get complicated. They should open it up a bit to be more compatible with different types of servers."
"They could improve the reporting."
