Find out what your peers are saying about TeamViewer, Microsoft, Citrix and others in Remote Access."Among its most valuable features is how it quickly and easily connects everyone to the VPN service."
"The solution is easy for administrators because you can check logs and write rules on the same page."
"Technical support has been excellent."
"This platform has developed a reliable communication infrastructure that employees can use to communicate with remote workers."
"The solution is easy to install, centrally managed, and stable, with good technical support and a straightforward setup."
"The safety of online interactions when working with this product has enabled members to convene productive meetings without fear of being attacked."
"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."
"The biggest advantage of Check Point Remote Access VPN is that we already use the Check Point firewall. We only needed to enable the feature and do the configuration in order to enable the VPN feature. We didn't need to buy or manage new hardware."
"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 maximum it is giving us is only 5 licenses and if you need more, they must be purchased separately."
"It would be good to have Remote Access VPN solutions for Check Point edge services."
"The non-standard setup is quite complex as you have to do changes via GUI and CLI."
"They need to increase their timeout. Right now, it will fail after ten seconds, however, it shouldn't fail until after 20 seconds."
"The cost of maintenance is high compared to most products in the market."
"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. If you don't get on your phone right away and check on your authentications, it will kick you out."
"We would like to implement HTML5 (clientless access) in the product without installing any additional software."
"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."
