We performed a comparison between Check Point Remote Access VPN and Citrix DaaS (formerly Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops service) based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Remote Access solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The initial set up is not complex."
"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."
"Thanks to all these security processes, our users can access our infrastructure with the certainty that we will not be compromised."
"Once we install and connect the VPN service, it keeps on running until we disconnect."
"It is easy to install the Endpoint Remote Access VPN client to different platforms."
"It offers a simple configuration and setup."
"The solution offers high scalability as far as adding more users."
"It is a scalable solution...The technical support team of the solution is very good."
"It has very good performance in delivering 3D applications over WAN."
"Because of the solution's ubiquity, it is easier to find answers to problems than with competitive products."
"First of all, the manageability of the applications for publishing is valuable. Second, it is about being able to run the applications on all main platforms. Third, its licensing is valuable. You can either switch to the cloud and keep on-prem. You can work with this hybrid scenario."
"XenDesktop has helped our users to work remotely with a better user experience."
"The most valuable feature of Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops is the security and it is easy to work with."
"It provides all of the features required for the protection of data. For example, we don't want to allow any copy/paste of data to an outside environment, and we are able to restrict the VDI to not allow any data transfer from the VDI to the local laptop's hard drives. That is one of the greatest advantages the solution provides."
"ICA/HDX optimization policies."
"Citrix is used by many organizations to make it possible to streamline the way different developers work together from different locations."

"For Linux machines, they don't have a full client to install. For the users that utilize Linux, there needs to be an equivalent."
"Price category and smooth renewal of agreement should be considered for flawless and quick onboarding of clients and partners."
"This is the best version we are using, however, if some changes can be made in the next release, I'd like to see adjustments to the time period and internet connectivity."
"It would be good to have Remote Access VPN solutions for Check Point edge services."
"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."
"The non-standard setup is quite complex as you have to do changes via GUI and CLI."
"There was complexity in the initial setup."
"Sometimes the application slows down the computing device, and this affects workflows."
"There is room for improvement on the hypervisor side, providing better integration between the hypervisor and the product line. I suspect that they haven't put the work into that because of the move to the cloud. They want everything to be cloud-hosted. But for folks like us, who will always be a hybrid model, that's of some concern."
"There are a lot of shortfalls with supporting printing over XenApp."
"Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops are not easy to set up. However, I have the experience and I can do it easily. It could be easier to set up."
"There have been many issues with stability."
"I think Citrix's support is good, but sometimes it is a little slow."
"The Endpoint Management solution needs improvement when it comes to mobile device management. For example, they are still not supporting Windows 10 and this feature is required by many customers."
"The speed and connectivity of Citrix DaaS could be improved."
"The solution's technical support is not so good."
