Check Point Remote Access VPN Scalability

Ozan Durmus - PeerSpot reviewer
Senior Information Security Specialist at AKBANK TAS

The scalability depends on the gateway and deployment. A stronger gateway can support more users. The cluster configuration also affects scalability. For example, two active gateways can be used for the VPN. We have 100-200 users using this solution since we use it for IT personnel. We are in progress and we are trying to change our primary ETM product. It will go to Check Point for a POC on a larger scale. I rate the solution’s scalability a four or five out of ten.

I was impressed by the scalability of this platform throughout our company, mainly since this solution emerged as the main use within the C-Level area of our company. It does not neglect some cloud-based apps when out of the office. The scalability of this platform made it possible for us to implement it in most areas of the company in order to strengthen remote work.

The solution offers high scalability as far as adding more users. I don't see that as being an issue.

We have 330-350 users in our company who are using the Check Point VPN.

When it comes to VPN products, our company talks about putting them on another internet gateway, which seems to be an easy process. Using the scalability feature of the product seems to be a painless process, in my opinion.

It is a scalable solution.

Considering that access to the solution is given to specific people only in my company, I can say that around 100 to 150 people use the solution.

I get the impression this could scale up to whatever you need. Scaling issues might only be moving to clustered resources and setting up load balancing on gateways. Once you get big enough you should be able to scale up to your needs.

With Check Point VSX, the virtual instance extension is just an additional license, thus, it's very easy to add VS for other purposes. Besides Check Point also developed Maestro technology to allow hyperscale, increase throughput, and maximize capacity.

Information Technology Admin at a wellness & fitness company with 51-200 employees

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.

It fills the logs and cuts off our connection when it gets full. It stops working. It's time-consuming to reset the device and reload the backups. It takes us about two hours because we would need to reconfigure those routes and integrate them with the IP addresses we have set up.

I can't speak to the scalability aspect. We don't have a need to scale. We have about 1,200 users and that's all we need. Therefore, I've never tried to scale it previously.

The solution is really scalable. You have to know that if you want to scale the solution you will have to configure and rebuild an SMS server with high CPU/memory resources, however.

AG
Network Security Engineer at a financial services firm with 51-200 employees

It is pretty scalable as far as adding more users. I don't see that as being an issue. All we have to do is buy more licenses and it's easy to add the license headcount, then more users can be added just as simply.

We have 200 to 250 users in our company.

We will definitely be increasing to have more users since our company was just purchased by a very large company. This will make us grow.

Not all of our clients who use Check Point VPN are in Thailand. Some government agencies, like the Electric City Company, are in Thailand. They use it formally. Their IT and telecom departments, those who require a secure network, are using it.

The stability depends on the setup. If the solution resides on a specific appliance, it is not scalable. It has a fixed capacity. However, if you move it onto different environments, cloud environments, it will become scalable. Right now, we have about 4,000 users in the current network and about 500 remote access users.

JM
Network Security Engineer/Architect at Euronext Technologies SAS

It is very scalable in a way that we can share the configuration for Remote VPN amongst our perimeter firewall so we can implement the Remote VPN with the same profiles and the same configuration easily on all of them. It's very scalable.

We are still studying the possibility of migrating everyone to Check Point VPN, but a decision has to be made because we still have a lot of people using Pulse Secure.
