"It's an ideal gateway solution for small and medium businesses, i.e., around 300 devices can be easily handled."
"We have more control over the activity that users have on the internal network, thanks to the monitoring offered by Check Point and the security provided by the gateway."
"The policies are easy to use."
"For us, it was essential to integrate with Active Directory, which is our credentials repository."
"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 can integrate remote access to our branches through Check Point services."
"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."
"The solution has been solid for me for over five years."
"Among its most valuable features is how it quickly and easily connects everyone to the VPN service."
"The solution is scalable and can go from a very small deployment to handling 10,000 transactions a second."
"Providing our organization the ability to work remotely was the most valuable feature of Citrix Gateway. I also enjoy that they are always adding features."
"Its ease of use and how everybody can easily work through it are the most valuable features."
"Most of our customers are using the load balancing feature and also the verification feature is good as well, in my experience."
"The features that we have found most valuable are the web app support and VPN."
"The initial setup is simple."
"The most valuable feature is that it is secure."
"We haven't received any complaints or performance issues so far."
"There must be a more easy-to-use GUI."
"The ability to allow split-tunneling while still following our corporate policy needs to be on the table."
"Improved scalability would allow the solution to handle larger numbers of users and devices without a significant impact on performance."
"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."
"Some configurations, like idle timeout (the requirement came from multiple users), are not possible to configure directly from the Check Point management server."
"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."
"Connection of devices from various locations is efficient though there are a few challenges when there is a network failure."
"We have noted some stability issues."

"We have experienced issues relating to multi-factor authentication"
"The solution can be a bit pricey."
"The solution has unnecessary limitations."
"Lacks access through a mobile device."
"We are currently looking at automation. It would be good if there is some way to automate it in a fast way. It should be easy to automate. It also has some security issues."

"I would like to see better configuration of repairs and downloading certification."
