Has improved security and enabled remote work flexibility across teams
The best features Check Point Remote Access VPN offers are its security features, which stand out to me. Whenever we are giving the remote access VPN to any employees or vendors, we can specify and control particular access. If we want to give access to a particular IP only, we can achieve that via this feature, and we also apply security features such as antivirus and anti-spyware while giving access to any employees or partners. The ability to control and specify access with Check Point Remote Access VPN, such as limiting to particular IPs or applying antivirus and anti-spyware, makes our environment safe from cyber threats and any types of malicious activities or accessing our private data. We control this through the feature by applying security policies that allow particular users. After deploying Check Point Remote Access VPN solution, I can say that our productivity has maximized. Users are working from home and even working 24/7. If they want, they can access our resources at any time, providing flexibility to work from anywhere. Employees say that sometimes they are not available during the working hour, but they can work from home at their flexible timing, needing access to our private network resources. They sit at home or any remote site and connect to our network to work, which is very good.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"What I find most valuable is the total cost of ownership."
"The setup is straightforward and hassle-free."
"This solution is valuable because it's a stand alone system and doesn't disconnect, it functions well, it's a good software and good system, and I believe it's a better product than Cisco."
"The most valuable feature would be that you can actually narrow down your session to one application on one server, which is really nice."
"The product is easy to connect."
"It's a stand alone system that functions well."
"One feature that is highly valued by our clients in remote access VPN is the IPsec suite. With IPsec, we can encrypt our data, ensuring that no one can perform a man-in-the-middle attack or decrypt the data. It utilizes powerful mathematical calculations and end-to-end encryption, preventing hacking attempts."
"The most valuable feature is the seamless access."
"For a basic setup, implementation is quite easy."
"Setting policies allow, block, and limit users' access."
"After deploying Check Point Remote Access VPN solution, I can say that our productivity has maximized; users are working from home and even working 24/7, and if they want, they can access our resources at any time, providing flexibility to work from anywhere."
"The security and reliability we are receiving are exceptional."
"It allows everyone to work from home, and if no one could work from home, then we wouldn't have a company, especially now during COVID-19."
"It can improve an organization by providing secure access to resources for traveling employees, which can help to reduce the risk of data breaches or other security incidents."
 

Cons

"Reporting could be improved."
"They are good, but sometimes it can take weeks to solve an issue."
"There could be more security features included in the product."
"Barracuda should find other ways to stir up interest about this product."
"Since it's not going to be getting any more software updates as per the end of this year, we have to move off to a different product.."
"With Check Point Remote Access VPN, performance issues occur; sometimes the connection speed can be slow, especially during peak hours."
"The support hours don't align with work hours, and AI could be introduced."
"For Linux machines, they don't have a full client to install. For the users that utilize Linux, there needs to be an equivalent."
"I would like this service to be easier to manage when you integrate it with third parties."
"The SSL VPN needs a Java applet to be installed and it is also dependent on the latest version of Java."
"Some configurations, like idle timeout (the requirement came from multiple users), are not possible to configure directly from the Check Point management server."
"The Linux version may have an app (similar to Windows) instead of a shell script."
"We would like to implement HTML5 (clientless access) in the product without installing any additional software."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Barracuda SSL VPN is inexpensive."
"The product is affordable and reasonably priced so it would make a lot of sense for people to use it long-term."
"The price of this product is good."
"My company makes yearly payments only towards the licensing costs attached to Check Point Remote Access VPN, as there are no extra costs attached to the product."
"The solution is pretty expensive. The rating is an eight."
"Regarding pricing, as a global customer, we get a big discount. For us, it's a good return on investment. We need to pay for additional features we want to enable. It seems cheaper than other vendors, but I can't say what it would cost an average customer."
"There is a license required for this solution."
"I give the price of the solution a five out of ten."
"I can say that the licensing costs are charged annually."
"Organizations that already have the Check Point NGFW need to purchase an additional license to have access to the VPN functionality."
