Executive SummaryUpdated on Jan 25, 2026

Check Point Remote Access VPN and Splashtop Remote Support compete in the remote access space with different focuses: Check Point emphasizes security while Splashtop prioritizes ease of use.

Features: Check Point Remote Access VPN integrates seamlessly with existing infrastructure, offering robust security through multi-factor authentication and centralized management. Its threat prevention features ensure secure remote connections, making it suitable for organizations with strict security requirements. Splashtop Remote Support stands out with a user-friendly interface and supports multiple devices, offering flexibility in remote management. Its chat functionality and the ability to transfer files and reboot systems remotely enhance the user experience.

Room for Improvement: Check Point's deployment can be complex, requiring technical expertise and could benefit from simplifying this process to shorten setup times for less experienced IT teams.

Collaboration Support Engineer at a retailer with 11-50 employees

Centralized device management has transformed security and streamlined remote provisioning

One area where Microsoft Intune can improve is the user interface. Sometimes the portal feels a bit complex and not very intuitive, especially for new users, and it can take time to find specific settings. Another point is troubleshooting. While logs are available, the diagnostic policies and sync issues can still be time-consuming and not very straightforward. I also feel that reporting could be more detailed and customizable. The built-in reports are helpful, but for deeper insights, I often need to rely on additional tools. Overall, it is a strong solution, but improving usability and troubleshooting experience would make it even better. While Microsoft Intune works very well within the Microsoft ecosystem, the integration of some third-party tools could be smoother and require less customization. Support is another area that could improve, as sometimes response times can be slow, and resolving complex issues may take longer than expected. In terms of features, I think more advanced automation and built-in remediation options would be helpful since common issues can be fixed automatically without manual intervention.

Gfrancis Francis

Vice President at Korchek Technologies

Has provided secure remote access for years but inconsistent support delays resolution

Regarding logging and management, while some of the logging is really good, other times it's not so great, and we've had to reach out to Check Point a few times for assistance, and the support we've gained hasn't been up to par with what Check Point usually offers as part of their support. When it comes to improvements, not specifically the remote access VPN, but the support associated with Check Point products has fallen over the last two years, and the response time is much worse, with the first layer of support lacking sufficient knowledge on how to troubleshoot issues.

Chief Alchemist/ VP at DFC BBQ

Able to boot into safe mode or standard mode remotely and reliable performance

I've only had to deal with it once. Because of the custom package we have, a white-label package, I can only think of one issue maybe six or seven years ago. I don't even remember what it was. At that time, I think they were pretty responsive. Very few companies offer phone support anymore; everyone's gone the way of email responses. I'm having that problem with CorelDRAW right now, and I'm waiting three weeks for a technician. So it's a good thing it's not important. Are the customer service and support good? For me, they're as good as anybody else, maybe not as good as some companies, but probably better than most. We deal with HP, IBM, HCL. Some companies only offer email support, and you have to wait for a response. I'm trying to remember the last time I interacted with Splashtop support. They do give you an answer. On a scale of one to ten, they're nine plus. You rarely have to use them, but I'm satisfied when you do.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Microsoft Intune is extremely important from a security perspective to ensure devices are compliant and gives us the efficiency to deploy apps automatically to a large number of users without the need for interaction from a client side, which is always helpful."

"I would say right now that Microsoft Intune is one of the best solutions."

"I like how Microsoft Intune lets me lock down the email profile and make it accessible only on certain devices."

"I like the tool's integration with Apple. Anyone who creates an ID in Intune will get an Apple ID."

"We can implement a MAM policy in this Intune and protect the device through mobile application development without touching it. The interface is easy to use and understand."

"A valuable feature is user enrollment, where users can enroll their devices in their organizations themselves."

"The one feature we find most useful is the Mobile Application Manager. There are two types, we have the complete MDM and the Mobile Application Manager(MAM). We don't give our users phones, it is their own personal phone, and we need to allow them to have access to the company detail on their phone. We need to create a balance between their own personal data and the company data. We deploy the Mobile Application Manager for them so that we won't be able to interfere with their own personal data."

"The aspects I find most valuable are managing the data and applications, restricting users from installing any applications, and being able to wipe the data if a phone is misplaced or stolen."

More Microsoft Intune pros

"Check Point Remote Access VPN has positively impacted my organization by enabling secure remote work without compromising data security, improving employee productivity by providing reliable access anytime, anywhere, and reducing the risk of unauthorized access through strong authentication and policy enforcement."

"The solution is easy to install, centrally managed, and stable, with good technical support and a straightforward setup."

"Check Point Remote Access VPN has positively impacted my organization by making remote work much smoother because people can connect securely from anywhere, and we've had fewer access issues during busy periods."

"Check Point Remote Access VPN has made my job easier because I don't need to worry about reaching the organization office and connecting to servers, as I am now free to work from anywhere and able to access the server securely and seamlessly."

"The unified platform view is great."

"One of the features that I like most about this software is that it has a very intuitive, simple, and versatile interface that makes it easy to use and configure."

"It is easy to install the Endpoint Remote Access VPN client to different platforms."

"The solution offers great security features, including zero-day protection, malware protection, anti-phishing, et cetera."

More Check Point Remote Access VPN pros

"The initial setup is simple."

"With the extended license, it's easy to be remote."

"The SOS Support is a most valuable feature, as we have remote access from our phone, there is no need to install the software, and we can do it on the cloud."

"The file transfers work well, the remote support and hosted solution work well."

"Splashtop Remote Support is my main product, and I use it daily. Its main function is to control systems, which is essential remotely. Additionally, it has useful features such as chat functionality, file transfer, and the ability to add notes with information about a computer or server. Despite being simple software, it is very useful and valuable."

"The ability to use mobile devices is helpful because we can support our clients from anywhere."

"The tool's most valuable features are pricing and easy management."

"The solution is very fast."

More Splashtop Remote Support pros

Cons

"It can improve for new users; in the starting phase, we found that the logs are too complex or scattered."

"The solution could improve by having better integration with Apple."

"Sometimes, customers compare it with AirWatch, but the concept of Intune is different from other solutions. It's an application management app. It gets a bit difficult to explain it to customers, but it's not a product limitation. It takes a presale document or presentation to explain it to customers."

"When Microsoft Intune is used with different android devices it does not always work as it is supposed to."

"In my opinion, Microsoft Intune has room for improvement. The pricing could be a little better, and the reporting could be a little better as well."

"Intune has all the features enabled for Windows devices but needs to be improved on iOS and Apple devices."

"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."

"We faced issues with macOS support. The product should have better inventory and asset management."

More Microsoft Intune cons

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

"The Compliance software blade is available only for the Windows operating systems family, so no macOS security checks are implemented and performed."

"We have noted some stability issues."

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

"Connection of devices from various locations is efficient though there are a few challenges when there is a network failure."

"This is the best version we are using, however, if some changes can be made in the next release, I'd like to see adjustments to the time period and internet connectivity."

"We would like to see support for a layer seven VPN over UDP.-- currently some VPN solution are working on Layer 7 Platform."

"Check Point Remote Access VPN's connectivity and establishment takes time and needs to be faster."

More Check Point Remote Access VPN cons

"The phone's a little tricky to work with due to the small screen."

"The integration features could be better."

"The packages that Splashtop has, tend to be a little bit confusing and should be simplified."

"The solution should add more options and tools for shortcuts, administration, etc."

"The packages that Splashtop has tend to be a little bit confusing and should be simplified."

"I'm not sure if I can recommend the solution as I'm not sure if it's a fit for me."

"Splashtop Remote Support needs to improve customization."

"The integration features could be better."

More Splashtop Remote Support cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Microsoft licenses are costly."

"I have no comment on pricing of the solution."

"There is a license needed for this solution and it is either included in one of the enterprise license agreements. Microsoft licensing is a mathematical institute, it could be quite complex. We tend to ask specialized organizations to research what the most profitable way it would be for us to use licenses in the organizations."

"It is not expensive."

"Its pricing seems reasonable."

"The licensing is on a yearly basis."

"Licensing depends on how you are providing support to your enterprise, whether it's device-based or user-based."

"The pricing for Microsoft Intune is reasonable. Our clients are satisfied."

More Microsoft Intune pricing and cost advice

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

"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."

"There is a license required for this solution."

"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."

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

"The price of this product is good."

More Check Point Remote Access VPN pricing and cost advice
