Find out in this report how the two Enterprise Infrastructure VPN solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."It's an ideal gateway solution for small and medium businesses, i.e., around 300 devices can be easily handled."
"The solution has good performance."
"Check Point Remote Access VPN is a stable solution."
"The solution implemented in the cloud allows us to easily scale in cases of user increase."
"Our users find the interface very comfortable to use."
"For a basic setup, implementation is quite easy."
"The solution is easy for administrators because you can check logs and write rules on the same page."
"To maintain the authorization of the connected user, Check Point provides multi-factor authentication for an RA VPN client to make sure legitimate users have access to resources."
"Setting policies allow, block, and limit users' access."
"The management of the solution is very simple. It allows for a single view of all the endpoints."
"The ability to connect old protocols like Border Gateway Protocol is valuable."
"It is easy to configure."
"The most valuable feature is the networking. I didn't have a good experience with the networking that Sophos has."
"The product has valuable virtual machines, viability options, and enhanced VPN services, enabling the option to use it in different zones."
"The interoperability with various firewall and access gateway vendors is one of this solution's most valuable features"
"The best feature is the ability to connect from anywhere."
"It works perfectly for me. It is very user-friendly in terms of the configuration and the setup process."
"It is scalable and depends on your chosen network bandwidth."
"There must be a more easy-to-use GUI."
"They need to increase their timeout. Right now, it will fail after ten seconds, however, it shouldn't fail until after 20 seconds."
"Bug Fixes and enhancement requests should be remediated earlier."
"In an environment with multiple cluster checkpoints, the global properties common to all clusters in some cases give problems."
"We are very happy with the Windows client. You log in with the VPN for the full client, you do the log in there. But for Linux machines, they don't have a full client to install. It is important because we have some users that use Linux and they don't have a specific application from Check Point to use. That is something that could be improved."
"The main area for improvement is pricing. Another area could be integrating MFA authentication directly into the solution instead of using separate benchmark tools for implementation."
"We have noted some stability issues."
"A characteristic to improve is the communication service under the SMTP scheme."
"Some configurations, like idle timeout (the requirement came from multiple users), are not possible to configure directly from the Check Point management server."
"The product must provide a single sign-on."
"Connectivity could be improved in Microsoft Azure VPN Gateway because it's not as stable, particularly when connecting a device tunnel."
"The marketing material in the portal is not very user-friendly."
"Microsoft could work on having micro VPNs to integrate with mobile devices."
"Make it completely routable, for example, if I have a gateway, I should be able to connect to whatever network I want on either side of the gateway, and the gateway should figure out which packet goes where."
"In the next release, Microsoft should add an option to schedule upgrades."
"More configuration options could be included in Microsoft Azure VPN Gateway."
"The connectivity should be faster."
