Centralized device management has automated onboarding and improves remote security compliance
One thing I feel Microsoft Intune could improve is troubleshooting visibility. In many cases, when a policy or application deployment fails, the error messages are a bit generic. So, admins still spend time checking logs manually or testing on devices one by one. Compared to the simplicity of deployment, troubleshooting sometimes feels less mature. I also think reporting and real-time monitoring could be stronger. The dashboard gives useful information, but in large environments, many teams still depend on additional tools or scripts for deeper reporting and analytics. If I had to focus on one area first, I would probably choose troubleshooting and reporting. Deployment through Microsoft Intune is generally straightforward, but when something fails, identifying the exact root cause can still take more time than expected. Error messages are sometimes too generic, and admins often have to dig through logs, sync status, or multiple portals to understand what actually happened. I think user experience and policy management could also improve further. Microsoft Intune has become much better over the years, but sometimes the admin portal still feels fragmented because certain configurations open in different sections or redirect to older interfaces. For new admins, especially, it can take time to understand where everything is located. Another thing is policy conflict handling. In larger organizations, multiple device policies, compliance rules, and configuration profiles can overlap. When conflicts happen, the visibility is not always very clear, so admins spend time figuring out which policy actually won or caused the issue.

Territory Business Manager at Emcure NZ Limited
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.

Easy to deploy, stable, scalable and safe
I previously used TeamViewer. ISL Online is definitely the better choice compared to TeamViewer, as it offers a more secure connection that does not involve peer-to-peer transport, and all data is encrypted. A single license for ISL Online costs about the same as TeamViewer but with multiple licenses, ISL Online is cheaper.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I would advise others this solution is easy to implement in the organization."
"Using this product has completely stopped DLP, so people cannot take material off of corporate machines or corporate imagines, and that's a huge benefit."
"From the user perspective, Microsoft Intune enables access to corporate data and apps even on personal devices, which is convenient."
"Microsoft Intune is brilliant for scalability and is excellent for scaling purposes."
"We are able to deliver applications fast to our mobile workloads so that users can make use of it instantly."
"Microsoft Intune saves eight hours per day, and during my work hours, I use my time to study and run tests on configurations I'm curious about and try them out in my environment."
"The mobile device management is very useful."
"Endpoint Manager has been around the longest, it's survived, it's matured and it's the top dog in general."
"This solution allows users to connect from any location, is very flexible, lets us easily control access and view usage statistics, and we are happy with the overall stability, easy configuration on the gateway side, and ease of deploying clients to endstations."
"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."
"It operates effectively, particularly during challenges like adversities or infrastructure issues."
"With such an approach, the solution can solve every remote working problem from anywhere, on any device while maintaining security features."
"It is a scalable solution...The technical support team of the solution is very good."
"Check Point Remote Access VPN has positively impacted my organization by greatly increasing productivity because users are now working from anywhere, and even during leave, they can easily work at any time."
"Our return on investment is the ability to allow people to work remotely in a secure way and a stable VPN."
"Once set up, it simply works without issues."
"We can also monitor our systems at any time from practically anywhere."
"The code can be delivered in multiple ways, including an email with a link for an unattended connection."
"It's much easier to connect with other services, and it's working great. We haven't had any problems."
"The most valuable feature is safety."
"ISL Online is easy to use. It provides a single platform on which we can do everything, and it's very low maintenance. After installation, you don't need an IT manager or staff to watch over it. It's secure. It's most important for us."
"Without ISL Online, I would not be able to work from home."
"I personally really appreciate the file transfer feature as it is really easy to use."
"ISL is a fundamental partner for us since, throughout all these years, it has allowed us to grow and solve the problems of our customers and their users in a very fast and agile way without having to move, even providing service abroad."
 

Cons

"Since the devices are configured over the Internet, whatever policy we apply from the compliance portal does not reflect immediately on the endpoint."
"Technical support is not great. If you open up a case, it may remain there for a long time."
"The difficulty of the the roll out is surprisingly difficult considering this product is supposed to be an integrated part of the 365 suite."
"It doesn't economize when you scale up. We have over 14,000 employees, and we have between 7,500 and 8,000 city-owned or personal devices being used to conduct city business. Its price can be improved. It is not a cheap solution."
"I think nine is a very good rating for this solution, and I kept one point out because I think in the future it requires improvement based on future scalability in the IT infrastructure."
"A major challenge is making all the products work within device management solutions like Intune. It would be beneficial if Microsoft removed support for older products much earlier in the process."
"Intune's server management could be better. If it could incorporate more features from System Center into Intune's Configuration Manager, it would be beneficial."
"It would be interesting to integrate the server side of Intune. Some group policy updates we have on the Windows Server side and possibly some on the client side could also be included."
"The remote workers were experiencing issues like disconections, no IP avaliables from the DHCP, or unable to connect because the server didnt responde to a ping, however this issue was fix after we instlalled the JHF 125 on each gateway and after the upgrade, everythig has been working OK, but before that Check Point didn´t have a fix for that manner."
"We encounter challenges for the product’s installation and troubleshooting processes compared to other VPN products."
"I would like the support to be faster."
"A characteristic to improve is the communication service under the SMTP scheme."
"The SSL VPN needs a Java applet to be installed and it is also dependent on the latest version of Java."
"Despite being very intuitive, the interface needs improvements."
"We would like to implement HTML5 (clientless access) in the product without installing any additional software."
"The scalability needs improvement."
"They should improve the integrations with other incident management software to be able to send the link directly from these platforms."
"It would be helpful if they had iSupport for supporting Apple phones."
"Updating the program could be improved. When they're pushing updates, you don't really know that there's an update available."
"I would like to be able to access and manage all brands of smartphones."
"There could be a section in the menu describing the new features and changes."
"There have been times during updates when something wouldn't work quite right, however, they are quick with updates and quick with fixes."
"If there is an update or new feature on ISL Online, I don't know about it. I would be happy to receive a newsletter or notification of new features or updates."
"I would like to have a little bit more information when new features are released. They have added features that I didn't know about in the past. It would be easier for me to implement new features and consolidate them with other systems in our network if I knew beforehand."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There is a license needed to use the solution and we are on an annual license."
"Intune is moderately expensive. You can get the license bundled with Office 365 E3 or E5 licenses. The E5s are a bit expensive, but you get some cheaper solutions with Intune."
"For organizations that are a Microsoft shop, the pricing is compelling."
"It's affordable for the protection it gives. There are no additional costs."
"The price is very reasonable."
"The pricing for Microsoft Intune is reasonable. Our clients are satisfied."
"The cost of the license and the features are justified for myself as a technical person."
"It is cheap, but as compared to Google, it is costly. Google is cheaper, but quality-wise, Microsoft Intune is better."
"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."
"I give the price of the solution a five out of ten."
"I can say that the licensing costs are charged annually."
"The price of this product is good."
"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 solution is pretty expensive. The rating is an eight."
"We have a pay-per-use license available for 500 minutes within one year for 95 Euros. However, this option is not popular. Alternatively, we can purchase a one-year license for 339 Euros; if we need two licenses, the cost is double, and for three licenses, the cost is triple with a ten percent discount. For 99 Euros a year, we can open multiple sessions on the same computer with a multi-session subscription."
