Senior Infrastructure Security Engineer at a outsourcing company with 51-200 employees

Centralized endpoint security has improved and supports hybrid work and BYOD policies

Regarding what I dislike about Microsoft Intune and its downsides, I would say that more Mac controls are needed because we have limited Mac and Linux control. When comparing controls and policies between Windows, Mac, and Linux, Windows has almost everything you can think of, while Mac and Linux have limited types of control. You cannot implement certain things on Mac and Linux that you can on Windows. The limited controls are a major issue. Additionally, if Microsoft could find a way to embed servers into Microsoft Intune, that would be beneficial. Microsoft Intune is not really designed for servers or Windows servers. It is more tailored towards Windows 11 and Windows 10 operating systems. Windows servers are not fully supported. Enterprise organizations usually have both servers and endpoints, which are users' workstations. For servers, most people look for other solutions such as SCCM, which is Configuration Manager. However, SCCM is what Microsoft Intune is trying to replace. Both SCCM and Microsoft Intune belong to Microsoft. Microsoft is trying to transition organizations into Microsoft Intune, the native cloud solution. However, because this update is still in process, servers are not fully compatible with Microsoft Intune and cannot be managed by it. The current policy that has emerged from issues with clients is what they call co-management, which is relatively new, and I do not know if adoption is significant. Many legacy or older customers who have been using these products for decades still have SCCM. When it is time for them to manage their Windows devices, they use what is called cloud attach. Cloud attach is a term whereby your SCCM is connected to your Microsoft Intune. Most people do not know about it, but I have deployed it for several organizations. Cloud attach and co-management work together so that your device is in SCCM, but some policies are pushed from Microsoft Intune. It is like two different solutions working hand in hand. That is what they call co-management. Microsoft Intune does not bring all of your endpoint and security management tools into one place, which is the goal and how it should be. However, as I mentioned, servers are not included. If we talk about end users, Microsoft Intune does bring all your devices together. In a typical enterprise environment, you have end users with workstations, laptops, company-issued phones, and bring your own devices. You can create policies for all of these. However, for the backend, your servers do not have much coverage. Servers are not really covered by Microsoft Intune in that way.

Technique at Digitaltrack

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.

Accessing multiple PCs from remote locations is easy and reliable with this solution

The solution works very well, I do not have any problem with it at all. The only problem is they have more than tripled their price in the last three years over what they used to charge. A price reduction would probably be warranted as I am not getting three times the service. My husband uses it too and he agrees that a price reduction would be the only thing he would be looking for. The vendor more than tripled the price in the last three years — so it has doubled and then doubled again. They have just kind of gone through the roof when it comes to pricing and I think that they are justifying that because of the demand.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"This improved control and visibility has helped my organization by reducing risks, saving time, and making compliance easier."

"Our main use is Intune's management of mobile devices, like Android or iPhone devices. The application performs quite well for both types. We successfully managed almost 3,000 endpoints."

"The most valuable includes managing everything from a single console."

"The stability of Microsoft Intune is good."

"My favorite feature about Microsoft Intune is that I have good logging capabilities; I can effectively troubleshoot, though I'm also missing some aspects."

"We were able to deploy about 65 computers in under two weeks to a completely remote user base without touching any of the machines."

"The most valuable feature of Intune is the ability to reset a lost device and remove all the data."

"I rate Intune 10 out of 10."

More Microsoft Intune pros

"Organizations that already use the Check Point NGFW Solution do not require any additional hardware, which makes the implementation straightforward and reduces the time to go live."

"The complexity is hidden within a full mesh network, allowing seamless user-to-application connectivity with minimal delay."

"The Check Point Endpoint Remote Access VPN for macOS and Windows are reliable solutions for remote access VPN, and fully compatible with the Check Point security ecosystem."

"Check Point Remote Access VPN offers multi-factor authentication when connecting to organizational networks, which adds an extra layer of security by requiring multiple verification steps when users connect."

"The security of the solution is a good feature, the stability is a valuable feature, and the customization is also a nice feature."

"The policies are easy to use."

"Check Point Remote Access VPN is the best available solution in the market for providing endpoint management solutions by ensuring adherence to strict compliance and multiple scanning of the data to ensure no data theft or leakage and security and compliance are maintained at the highest level possible."

"This solution allowed our employees to log in from anywhere at any time, have the same experience that they had in the office, and access all the resources that were necessary for their work."

More Check Point Remote Access VPN pros

"One of the most convenient features is that I can print from it and do everything as I would if I were sitting at my own desktop."

"This solution has allowed us to have a highly flexible remote access solution in DR/BC situations."

"The installation is almost instant."

"Technical support is very good and very fast; we find them to be very knowledgeable."

"The technical support is good."

"The solution is very quick to set up."

"I can do anything from a remote desktop as if I were sitting at my own PC."

Cons

"Intune has limited integration with non-Microsoft solutions."

"The reporting could be improved, as it's pretty poor compared to other products of this type."

"The reports aren't complete, and it's not easy to build custom reports. For example, Windows Autopilot isn't working well in cases where the computers don't have a good internet connection. Then the option is not good enough."

"Intune lags all of its competitors in terms of report generation."

"Having a dedicated configuration server that assists in modifying the configuration service, and creating personalized structures, interfaces, and web services could enhance usability."

"A detailed device diagnostic feature is missing. Also, operating system deployment and imaging are missing."

"I think that there is room for improvement with the reporting. If this is done, it will be a better product."

"In Microsoft Intune, error messages are an area that has room for improvement. Regarding error messages, I would like to see more detailed logs added."

More Microsoft Intune cons

"In the case of URL translation of the VPN Web portal, the requests made from the front end to the back end weren't valid (due to the use of dynamic subdomains). In the case of host translations, the request was made to the same host, however, we cannot specify the ports, which, in our case, are used to redirect to different servers."

"When you want to deploy a new Check Point agent, it is really a pain in the butt."

"There are some issues with the Check Point VPN, such as its complexity compared to other VPN clients."

"In an environment with multiple cluster checkpoints, the global properties common to all clusters in some cases give problems."

"A characteristic to improve is the communication service under the SMTP scheme."

"Check Point Remote Access VPN can be improved by having more granular options to steer traffic, like easier configurations for split tunneling, which is currently complex."

"The configuration of Check Point Remote Access VPN could be simplified so that there will be no complex steps to configure it and maintain it."

"In my organization, there aren't Linux users, however, I know it has difficulties offering secure access for customers who use this operating system."

More Check Point Remote Access VPN cons

"The pricing has tripled in a small amount of time and there is not three times better service."

"The only problem is they have more than tripled their price in the last three years over what they used to charge."

"Integration could be improved. I'd prefer if the solution could integrate with our support and report tools as well as our timesheet reporting."

"This solution requires that the PC is "on" in order to reach it remotely. If the PC is hung then it requires a reboot."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is not a cheap solution. The price for a device when you start using it at a large scale can be improved. It is covered under our enterprise agreement. We pay once a year. I am not aware of any additional costs."

"We use Defender ATP and E5 licenses."

"I rate Intune an eight out of ten for affordability. It's bundled with the 365 licensing, which is competitive overall."

"We spend a lot of money on Intune licensing, and some of our users have to be double licensed just because of how our dev and corporate environments are segmented."

"It's affordable. It's cheaper if you have an Office 365, E5, or E3 subscription because everything is there."

"For Microsoft 365 E5 clients, cost is not an issue as this product is one of the benefits."

"With our standard E5 agreement with Microsoft, there have been no pricing concerns. Introductory professional services, like a fast-track service, were included with our E5 membership, and there have been no additional costs."

"There is a license needed to use the solution and we are on an annual license."

More Microsoft Intune pricing and cost advice

"I can say that the licensing costs are charged annually."

"I give the price of the solution a five out of ten."

"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."

"Check Point Remote Access VPN is not expensive and the cost is annual."

"The price of this product is good."

"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."

"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."

More Check Point Remote Access VPN pricing and cost advice

"It was cheap and now it is comparably expensive. It costs me $484 to use the solution with just two physical PCs."

"We pay approximately 2,000 Euros a year for the solution. The licensing is all-inclusive; you don't have to pay for extra add-ons or services."
