Remote access has transformed my hybrid work and now provides secure, fast connections anywhere
The best feature of Check Point Remote Access VPN is the easy connectivity. I just have to enter the gateway and the username and password, then click on connect and it will be connected to my organization network. The process is very straightforward and the remote control is outstanding with great connectivity. The remote control feature makes my work easier because there is no latency I am experiencing while accessing from a remote site. I mainly access two to three servers at a time, and I have not seen any lag or latency through Check Point Remote Access VPN. That is outstanding about Check Point Remote Access VPN solution. Check Point Remote Access VPN has positively impacted my organization because productivity has increased.

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 product is easy to connect."
"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."
"It's a stand alone system that functions well."
"The setup is straightforward and hassle-free."
"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 complexity is hidden within a full mesh network, allowing seamless user-to-application connectivity with minimal delay."
"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."
"Our number of users working remotely vastly increased during the COVID 19 pandemic. Check Point Remote Access VPN allowed us to quickly make the transition from in-office to remote work."
"Checkpoint is very strong and very reliable."
"This solution has improved our organization by providing access to corporate resources in a secure fashion."
"Check Point has been perfect for protecting us from any type of attack or data theft during remote management."
"The main purpose of the product is for firewall purposes that we are using, and the VPN provides secure access for remote connections."
"Access is browser-based only and requires no additional client installation."
 

Cons

"Reporting could be improved."
"They are good, but sometimes it can take weeks to solve an issue."
"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.."
"Barracuda should find other ways to stir up interest about this product."
"There could be more security features included in the product."
"With Check Point Remote Access VPN, performance issues occur; sometimes the connection speed can be slow, especially during peak hours."
"Check Point Remote Access VPN could be more user-friendly."
"There are some issues with the Check Point VPN, such as its complexity compared to other VPN clients."
"Sometimes, we have noticed that owing to installation of various antivirus and running of inbuilt firewalls, the connection for VPN sporadically drops and tries to reconnect."
"Sometimes we have some small problems with Check Point Remote Access VPN. For example, problems with authentication."
"In an environment with multiple cluster checkpoints, the global properties common to all clusters in some cases give problems."
"Our key technical supports come during hours that are not aligned with our working hours, which sometimes affects our access to support."
"Compliance Check on Check Point should be improved by having more configurable conditions to support multi-platforms and adding more granularity."
 

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."
"My understanding is that the pricing and licensing are very competitive, and it's not one of their more expensive products. We buy licenses for the solution and have licenses for the endpoint servers."
"I can say that the licensing costs are charged annually."
"There is a license required for this solution."
"Organizations that already have the Check Point NGFW need to purchase an additional license to have access to the VPN functionality."
"The solution is pretty expensive. The rating is an eight."
"The product is expensive. I rate its pricing a ten out of ten. For the cost of one product, we could purchase two or three Fortinet solutions with the same amount of money."
"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."
"The price of this product is good."
