Find out what your peers are saying about TeamViewer, Microsoft, Citrix and others in Remote Access."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."
"Among its most valuable features is how it quickly and easily connects everyone to the VPN service."
"Once we install and connect the VPN service, it keeps on running until we disconnect."
"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."
"A single login based on a second authentication factor is giving us the possibility of integrating third-party services for authentication based on a security scheme."
"One of the most outstanding features is the ability to deliver third-party services and achieve double authenticity with integrated identities."
"Check Point Remote Access VPN is a stable 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."
"The ability to change the way that the client works to a service so that we can get a little bit deeper into the operating system, as opposed to just an app running is the most valuable aspect. We also like the unattended sessions. Those are probably the two most important things to us. It's important because we can't do certain things when it is just an application running."
"The VPN remote Access blade could be improved."
"The product’s architecture is a bit distributed."
"Connection of devices from various locations is efficient though there are a few challenges when there is a network failure."
"Sometimes we have some small problems with Check Point Remote Access VPN. For example, problems with authentication."
"Price category and smooth renewal of agreement should be considered for flawless and quick onboarding of clients and partners."
"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."
"We would like to see support for a layer seven VPN over UDP."
"Compliance Check on Check Point should be improved by having more configurable conditions to support multi-platforms and adding more granularity."
"If they included some sort of monitoring system for managed services so we can have it all in one package, that would be helpful. There are managed services solutions that allow us to remote into the computers, but a lot of them have too much overhead. Usually, the remote connection is not as simple and as fast and cannot be run as a service."
