Check Point Remote Access VPN Reviews

We primarily use the solution to have a secure connection and to offer security integration with our remote office as well as some other companies.

The ability to create your trigger data domains is the solution's most valuable feature.

The solution should include the ability to integrate the equipment's functionality with others. For example, we would like Checkpoint to be able to integrate easily to the public key infrastructure. According to Checkpoint, there is no use case for this right now. 

The interface itself needs improvement. When you need to create something, you have to go through a lot of steps. It needs to be simplified. 

I've been using the solution for two years.

The solution has been very scalable for us up until now. Currently, we have two data centers and we are running two Checkpoints for the facility to spread the workload.

The process is mainly straightforward. 

We started only with the firewall components and this part was straightforward. Once we started to implement the VPN, we had to work with the reseller. Now, we are handling it ourselves.

We handled the implementation ourselves with the assistance of resellers.

We are using the on-premises deployment model.

Checkpoint is very strong and very reliable. I would advise that those considering implementing the product go to a Checkpoint training session before implementing the solution. It's good to be familiar with the product beforehand.

I'd rate the solution ten out of ten.

Firewall and SSL VPN

One of the features that is very valuable to our agency is SSL VPN software blade which gives users the ability to work from home.

The SSL VPN needs a Java applet to be installed and it is also dependent on the latest version of java. If our users use their work laptops at home they don’t have the permission to install anything that would be great if this applet can run without administrator permission.
