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.

Offers advanced security features and is easy to install
The product's feature to secure remote access needs is an area that is looked after by the IT team in our company. I work in a healthcare organization where we need to protect certain private information. My organization does not focus on network or database protection. I know about the VPN encryption in the tool. My company has not faced any problems with the product's performance, speed, and connectivity. Performance-wise, my company is satisfied with the product. I will tell those who plan to purchase the product that they need to look at the level of security or encryption they expect for their environment. If there is a requirement for the different networks in the domain of those who planned to purchase the product to be isolated, then it should be done. I rate the overall tool a nine out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It is stable most of the time."
"Check Point Remote Access VPN has positively impacted my organization by improving productivity and given us a workaround in times of downtime."
"A single login based on a second authentication factor is giving us the possibility of integrating third-party services for authentication based on a security scheme."
"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."
"Check Point Endpoint Remote Access VPN is without a doubt, really fantastic software."
"It operates effectively, particularly during challenges like adversities or infrastructure issues."
"The security of the solution is a good feature, the stability is a valuable feature, and the customization is also a nice feature."
"Overall, I rate Check Point Remote Access VPN a nine."
"The most valuable features of the solution stem from the advanced security features it offers."
"The best features are security and ease of use."
 

Cons

"The product’s architecture is a bit distributed."
"The SSL VPN needs a Java applet to be installed and it is also dependent on the latest version of Java."
"We would like to implement HTML5 (clientless access) in the product without installing any additional software."
"It's difficult to configure on Linux workstations as Check Point Remote VPN clients support only Windows and Mac devices."
"The connection has gotten less smooth as the number of users increases. The issue is that the logs fill up quickly. Too many users are connecting remotely. It worked great when we only had a few remote connections. Now, it is disconnecting people and dropping the internet connection."
"There is always room for innovation and the addition of new features."
"User experience and interface need improvement. The VPN client interface is functional but could benefit from a more modern, intuitive design, with clearer connection status indicators, simplified settings, and a more guided setup process would help reduce confusion, especially for less tech-savvy users."
"Everything functions perfectly with Check Point Remote Access VPN based on my knowledge, but the KB documents for configuration are limited and could be improved."
"The product's configuration, administration, and user interface are areas of concern."
"An improvement would be to update the look and feel of the interface, which is very traditional and doesn't fit the current market trend."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There is a license required for this solution."
"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."
"Organizations that already have the Check Point NGFW need to purchase an additional license to have access to the VPN functionality."
"I give the price of the solution a five out of ten."
"Check Point Remote Access VPN is not expensive and the cost is annual."
"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."
"I can say that the licensing costs are charged annually."
"The solution is pretty expensive. The rating is an eight."
"The product is expensive. Two or three years ago, when the solution was purchased for our company, I remember that it was not the cheapest compared to the tools offered by competitors."
"Connect Tunnel is expensive."
