"The safety of online interactions when working with this product has enabled members to convene productive meetings without fear of being attacked."

"It can improve an organization by providing secure access to resources for traveling employees, which can help to reduce the risk of data breaches or other security incidents."
"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."
"It is stable."
"It's a stable solution."
"The solution is quite transparent."
"It is very effective and I am satisfied with how it works and with its performance."
"Stability-wise, it is a very good solution."

"The customer service and support are the best. When it comes to support, Cisco is the best vendor ever."
"The product's most valuable features are security, stability, and troubleshooting capabilities."
"There must be a more easy-to-use GUI."
"Check Point Remote Access VPN's enterprise support could be improved."
"It's difficult to configure on Linux workstations as Check Point Remote VPN clients support only Windows and Mac devices."
"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."
"We have noted some stability issues."
"In the case of URL translation of the VPN Web portal, the requests made from the front end to the back end weren't valid (due to the use of dynamic subdomains). In the case of host translations, the request was made to the same host, however, we cannot specify the ports, which, in our case, are used to redirect to different servers."
"Check Point Remote Access VPN handles up to a hundred megabytes for clients, but I want it to be able to handle up to one gigabyte."
"The VPN remote Access blade could be improved."
"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."
"It would be helpful if Cisco IOS SSL VPN could help us set up devices on our iPads and phones."
"The solution's graphical user interface is not very user-friendly."
"They could provide the cloud-based as-a-service model with monthly rental payments."
"I would like for it to have support for the Dutch language. I typically use English in 99% of our communications but for some people, it matters."
"Cisco has a history of problems with the area of web filtering, because of which my company sometimes had to change the vendor and the appliance."
"In terms of what needs improvement, it should have better integration. Although, it might have already been taken care of."
"The Secure Plus Connect product could be improved with many enhancements in any price license, especially for licensing. Cisco could simplify the licensing; it could make it easier to order and use the features."
"Cisco IOS SSL VPN doesn't support the configuration of multiple VPNs."
