We performed a comparison between Check Point Remote Access VPN and TeamViewer 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 IPSec VPN, Mobile Access, and Identity Awareness are three of the blades with which we have been working with since the pandemic. This has given us great mobility, making our network more dynamic."
"It allows everyone to work from home. If no one could work from home, then we wouldn't have a company, especially now during COVID-19. It's mission-critical, especially since it's currently being used. If there is a problem with it, we would really be screwed. We would be hard-pressed because we would have to figure out what solution we're going to go with, how to deploy it, how long it would take to deploy it, and how we'd even get it on people's computers if we couldn't VPN to them. It would be near impossible to just change to a new VPN solution right now."
"For us, it was essential to integrate with Active Directory, which is our credentials repository."
"The solution implemented in the cloud allows us to easily scale in cases of user increase."
"I like the fact that Remote Access allows the administrator to control and manage things. It makes things smoother, and it has been an excellent experience."
"We use it to connect our sites. We have a couple of sites that need to interconnect."
"Our users find the interface very comfortable to use."
"Check Point Remote Access VPN enables us to access on-premise applications while working from remote locations."
"TeamViewer has been one of the easiest, right off the bat products, that we have employed at the college. We have had no issues. It's been one of the easiest solutions to pick up."
"The solution is scalable."
"The product and platform work well. That is why I have stay with them so long. The stability has typically been good."
"The best feature is the remote access and being able to control another person's computer when you're showing them something, or teaching them how to do something during training, or fixing a problem they're having."
"The product is quite stable. The performance is good."
"The most valuable features of TeamViewer are the ease of connecting to remote computers. I do not need a lot of information about their computers to connect, a nontechnical person can give me the information needed for me to connect. Additionally, the solution does not gather other system information about the host or client's systems as other solutions might, such as AnyDesk."
"TeamViewer has a good interface."
"The most valuable feature is you do not need to know the Windows username and password to connect and see the staff screen."
"The main feature that would be improved within Check Point Remote Access is its operation within Linux OS, as it currently does not have many features for that OS."
"The product’s architecture is a bit distributed."
"The cost of maintenance is high compared to most products in the market."
"We would like to implement HTML5 (clientless access) in the product without installing any additional software."
"They need to increase their timeout. Right now, it will fail after ten seconds, however, it shouldn't fail until after 20. If you don't get on your phone right away and check on your authentications, it will kick you out."
"The non-standard setup is quite complex as you have to do changes via GUI and CLI."
"Bug Fixes and enhancement requests should be remediated earlier."
"It's difficult to configure on Linux workstations as Check Point Remote VPN clients support only Windows and Mac devices."
"In the next release, I would prefer to have a voice integration and collaboration feature to support multiple teams simultaneously."
"I am not sure about all the features of TeamViewer, but if they have no voice communication or file transfer features they should add them."
"I don’t see any areas where improvement is needed."
"The solution could have better scalability."
"TeamViewer is publicly available and anyone can use it. This is the reason that many organizations do not permit the use of this solution. It is not considered to be secure enough."
"If they could figure out a little better solution for the iOS stuff other than just a screen share, even though it's an Apple thing, and Apple doesn't like to give up control of their devices. If they ever got to that point, and I could manipulate an iPad or iPhone, that would be awesome. Since we have a bunch of iPad users who are struggling with doing different things, it would be nice to be able to just jump on and actually show them, "Here, do this, this, and this." Similar to what we do with the laptops, e.g. for training."
"The performance could always be better."
"We have a consultant that helps us do the virtual aspects of TeamViewer."
