Find out what your peers are saying about TeamViewer, Microsoft, Citrix and others in Remote Access."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."
"One of the most outstanding features is the ability to deliver third-party services and achieve double authenticity with integrated identities."
"Scalability is great. We have been able to grow as a corporation due in part to this type of solution."
"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."
"It operates effectively, particularly during challenges like adversities or infrastructure issues."
"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."
"Once we install and connect the VPN service, it keeps on running until we disconnect."
"Check Point Remote Access VPN provides strong security features, including encryption, authentication, endpoint security, access control, and centralized management."
"Yes, it is very stable. I have never seen it go down, not once."
"The solution offers a simplified network infrastructure and security functions and it enables secure remote access for the users"
"SASE's most valuable features are proxy and content filtering."
"Sandboxing, DLP, and SSL inspection engine are the most valuable features of Zscaler SASE."
"Users get direct secure access to applications over the internet."
"The most valuable features of Zscaler Private Access are its ability to integrate with multiple IDPs and application segmentation."
"We don't need to connect anymore. It is automatically connected when you log on in Windows."
"The scalability of the solution is great."
"There was complexity in the initial setup."
"Check Point Remote Access VPN's enterprise support could be improved."
"They need to increase their timeout. Right now, it will fail after ten seconds, however, it shouldn't fail until after 20 seconds."
"We encounter challenges for the product’s installation and troubleshooting processes compared to other VPN products."
"The product’s architecture is a bit distributed."
"Price category and smooth renewal of agreement should be considered for flawless and quick onboarding of clients and partners."
"The Compliance software blade is available only for the Windows operating systems family, so no macOS security checks are implemented and performed."
"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."
"Sometimes applications crash on some machines, and we’d like Zscaler to give us some information as to why that may have happened. We’d like more detailed reports."
"There is some issue while accessing the portal. It takes too long."
"Zscaler Private Access could improve by improving external access. If external parties want to access locally to my company's services, we need to onboard them into our domain, otherwise, it doesn't work. Additionally, if their company also has Zscaler Private Access, then it doesn't work. They need to log in with our domain ID, not their company ID."
"Users report application access or latency issues with Zscaler Private Access."
"Setup is a bit complex because there are many steps that need to be taken before onboarding and activating the solution."
"We often face performance and latency issues with Zscaler SASE."
