"The security of the solution is a good feature, the stability is a valuable feature, and the customization is also a nice feature."
"It is easy to install the Endpoint Remote Access VPN client to different platforms."
"The most important feature of Check Point Remote Access VPN is the multiple factor authentication."
"Check Point Remote Access VPN enables us to access on-premise applications while working from remote locations."
"The management of the solution is very simple. It allows for a single view of all the endpoints."
"The team has full visibility of the users that connect allowing them to keep control of who is in the network and what data they are allowing to come in and out."
"It offers a simple configuration and setup."
"Check Point Remote Access VPN provides strong security features, including encryption, authentication, endpoint security, access control, and centralized management."
"Just creating that gateway to the storefront for Citrix is the most valuable aspect of the solution for us."
"Its ease of use and how everybody can easily work through it are the most valuable features."
"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."
"The stability of the solution is perfect."
"The solution is scalable and can go from a very small deployment to handling 10,000 transactions a second."
"What I find most valuable about this solution, is that it runs seamlessly."
"The solution is stable."
"It's a stable solution while it's running. We don't have to work on it a lot. There are not many bugs, so it's easy to use if you deploy successfully. You can be sure of an uninterrupted solution for quite a long time. Citrix is a good product."
"There must be a more easy-to-use GUI."
"You have no ability to reserve a total number of licenses. The VPN user licenses are assigned per gateway, and if you enable MEP function is not so easy to size the gateway licenses."
"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."
"We have noted some stability issues."
"They need to increase their timeout. Right now, it will fail after ten seconds, however, it shouldn't fail until after 20 seconds."
"There were some issues with automation and instability."
"There is always room for innovation and the addition of new features."
"Without a doubt and with the new trends in technology, Check Point should already have a blade with a 2MFA solution and not through some other vendor."
"We would like to implement HTML5 (clientless access) in the product without installing any additional software."
"I would like to see better configuration of repairs and downloading certification."
"I'd like to see support for reverse proxy and more security features."
"Technical support could be improved."
"Its interface could be made a lot easier. It is very kludgy."
"When it comes to the VDA environment, making it additionally stable is important."
"It would be nice if they offered easier setups and implementation wizards."
"The load balancing could be improved."
"The major issue is price. I would also like them to make other aspects more accessible."
