"It's an ideal gateway solution for small and medium businesses, i.e., around 300 devices can be easily handled."
"Access is browser-based only and requires no additional client installation."
"Check Point Remote Access VPN provides strong security features, including encryption, authentication, endpoint security, access control, and centralized management."
"For us, it was essential to integrate with Active Directory, which is our credentials repository."
"Check Point Remote Access VPN is a stable solution."
"This platform has developed a reliable communication infrastructure that employees can use to communicate with remote workers."
"For a basic setup, implementation is quite easy."
"Organizations that already use the Check Point NGFW Solution do not require any additional hardware, which makes the implementation straightforward and reduces the time to go live."
"It is easy to install the Endpoint Remote Access VPN client to different platforms."
"The most valuable features of the solution stem from the advanced security features it offers."
"The best features are security and ease of use."
"There must be a more easy-to-use GUI."
"Sometimes it causes the consumption of machine resources, and also improves the scanning since they consume many resources in the clients' machines."
"There were some issues with automation and instability."
"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."
"When you want to deploy a new Check Point agent, it is really a pain in the butt. For example, Windows 10 now has updates almost every couple of months. It changes the versioning and things under the hood. These are things that I don't understand, because I'm not a Windows person. However, I know that the Check Point client is installed on the Windows machine, and if the Check Point client's not kept up-to-date, then it's functionality breaks. It has to be up-to-date with the Windows versions. Check Point has to update the client more often. Now, the problem is that the Check Point client is not easy to update on remote computers and it's not easy to deploy a new client."
"I cannot see the full effect of the endpoint solution because it relies on having access to the DNF queries, which might not go through the Check Point firewall when you're using it for perimeter networks. Check Point will not identify the actual source of the net queries. This may be related to the architecture, however, and not poor product issues. I don't know if it can be improved on the Check Point side or not."
"The maximum it is giving us is only 5 licenses and if you need more, they must be purchased separately."
"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."
"They could add more features, like the security to block off the doors, or create another hatch, something like this. They could make the features safer, add malware to make my mail and the Kryon system safer and to protect data at an earlier stage."
"The product's configuration, administration, and user interface are areas of concern."
"An improvement would be to update the look and feel of the interface, which is very traditional and doesn't fit the current market trend."
