Enables management of multiple operating systems with a single license

The best feature is that it's a Microsoft product, so if anything goes wrong, we get quick support for anything required. Remote system functionality allows us to sit anywhere and take control of any device via remote management. We can enhance security for clients' laptops with built-in Microsoft Defender, which is available with the Microsoft Intune license. We use it for reporting purposes through endpoint analytics. When pushing scripting, there are two types available: remediation script and reservation script. Through endpoint analytics, you can push defender policies to clients. It helps with reporting, inventory updates, and monitoring tenant status health.

Team Lead - Network and Security at Digitaltrack

Secure data transfers and reliable remote connectivity have strengthened infrastructure

Check Point Remote Access VPN helps me secure and protect my data. If a remote user's device has a vulnerability, the VPN helps. It is very reliable and cost-effective. It keeps my data protected so no one can breach it. There is no interception between the two channels, from the user to the data center, when the VPN tunnel is established with Check Point. Check Point also has a high rate of threat prevention, so I really trust it in this case. I have noticed that my data is now more secure and reliable when accessed from a remote location. This is an issue that it has resolved for my data center.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The navigation, the keys, and the settings are easy to find. It is easy to understand."

"We already use a lot of Microsoft products in our company, and therefore, it made sense to also use this product."

"Our configuration profiles used to be all over the place. For example, there's a lot of legacy stuff in Active Directory. Going through Intune has helped us enforce settings, which has improved device security and functionality. When you apply something through Intune, you know it works. You don't have to worry about a legacy setting from Active Directory that was uploaded by somebody seven years ago. With Intune, you can see that a device has a setting, and you can be confident that the device is configured how you want."

"Intune makes our organization more secure and flexible. We can onboard new employees faster and more securely. We are a governmental organization with strict regulations, and Intune helps us comply with those requirements."

"Microsoft Intune helps us avoid issuing everyone company-owned devices. We provide a stipend, allowing users to bring their own devices. This approach gives us leverage against other MSPs. It also enhances collaboration because clients already covered by specific licensing can optimize their usage of Microsoft Intune."

"The stability is good."

"Configuration profiles, remediation, scripts, and auto-pilot features are very good."

"Dynamic groups allow us to set conditions for automatic membership, eliminating the need for user intervention or manual review and ensuring a seamless workflow."

More Microsoft Intune pros

"It is a scalable solution...The technical support team of the solution is very good."

"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 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 advanced malware protection and the sandboxing features are very valuable as they perform well, with detection being very high."

"I found the MEP feature the most valuable. This has improved users' latency allowing the users to connect to the nearest Azure Check Point VM."

"The best feature of Check Point Remote Access VPN is the control during the connectivity—whenever I connect to my organization's network, my PC is always connected to the private network, even whenever I connect to the internet."

"The ability to create your trigger data domains is the solution's most valuable feature."

"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."

More Check Point Remote Access VPN pros

"This product is very simple to use and you can connect whether you are behind a firewall or not."

"The most valuable feature of TeamViewer Tensor is the remote access."

"Remote desktop sharing is one valuable feature of the solution."

Cons

"There is still a gap between SCCM and Intune, especially in the reporting, inventory, and software deployment areas."

"Sometimes, the process is unsuccessful when we attempt to reset a device and wipe the data using Intune."

"No option to do end-to-en macOS management. Slow implementation of policies."

"The solution's app deployment needs to be improved."

"From an end-user perspective of Microsoft Intune, I haven't experienced any challenges since installation. However, some customers have reported experiencing slowness when using lower versions of the Android system."

"We face multiple scenarios where IT decision-makers request specific policy implementations, however, due to product limitations, we cannot fulfill these requests."

"Microsoft Intune fails a lot when it comes to device compliance."

"Reporting in Microsoft solutions is pathetic. With Intune, I'm getting a free inventory tool, but I don't get a reporting tool. When I go to Intune, I can see one machine's entire data in terms of the hardware and the software running on it, but I cannot generate a report for all the machines in the organization. The reporting is the only feature holding back the functionality that is already there."

More Microsoft Intune cons

"I would like this service to be easier to manage when you integrate it with third parties."

"When you want to deploy a new Check Point agent, it is really a pain in the butt. For example, Windows 10 now has updates almost every couple of months. It changes the versioning and things under the hood. These are things that I don't understand, because I'm not a Windows person. However, I know that the Check Point client is installed on the Windows machine, and if the Check Point client's not kept up-to-date, then it's functionality breaks. It has to be up-to-date with the Windows versions. Check Point has to update the client more often. Now, the problem is that the Check Point client is not easy to update on remote computers and it's not easy to deploy a new client."

"The non-standard setup is quite complex as you have to do changes via GUI and CLI."

"Sometimes it causes the consumption of machine resources, and also improves the scanning since they consume many resources in the clients' machines."

"The knowledge base can be improved for advanced troubleshooting."

"Price category and smooth renewal of agreement should be considered for flawless and quick onboarding of clients and partners."

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

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

More Check Point Remote Access VPN cons

"The solution could include more AI (Artificial Intelligence)."

"Having the ability to create subgroups and delegate permissions to the group members would be a helpful addition."

"The SSO feature of the solution may sometimes not function perfectly…Pricing might be improved for TeamViewer Tensor."

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

"Our Office 365 Business Premium license, including Office 365 and Intune Management, offers excellent value."

"The licensing is on a yearly basis."

"We don't pay for Intune because it is bundled with the premium subscription to Office 365. It includes Intune and Defender. I don't have to buy two extra products to manage my enterprise."

"The licensing costs we leave up to the customer and these vary from one to another."

"There is a cost benefit of using Microsoft Intune because of the packaging with other Microsoft products."

"The product is expensive."

"Microsoft Intune has been incorporated into our Microsoft E5 licenses."

More Microsoft Intune pricing and cost advice

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

"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."

"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."

"The price of this product is good."

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

"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."

"There is a license required for this solution."

More Check Point Remote Access VPN pricing and cost advice

"I rate pricing a ten on a scale from one to ten, where one is low and ten is high. There are no additional costs attached to the licensing of the solution."

"The pricing is a little bit on the higher side."

Remote secure access VPN is a solution that provides users with remote access to an organization’s network. The host may have VPN client software loaded or use a web-based client. The solution leverages security features like multi-factor authentication, endpoint scanning, and encryption of all data in motion.

Check Point Remote Access VPN provides individuals with protected and efficient access to a company network from anywhere. This strategy fosters collaboration and connectivity between distributed teams and offices.

Features of Check Point Remote Access VPN

Key features of the secure remote access VPN include:

Compliance Scanning

The system enforces endpoint security with endpoint compliance. It monitors and verifies the security status of each endpoint and reports back to the Security Gateway. The gateway, in turn, checks the compliance level and directs the connectivity to the right resources.

3 Deployment Options

Users can deploy the Remote Access VPN in one of three ways:

Integrated with an Endpoint Security solution. In this case, you get a firewall, an application control (not in macOS), the remote access VPN, and compliance features included in the package.
As a Standalone Check Point Mobile for Windows. This package includes a remote access VPN and compliance features.
As a Standalone Secure Remote. This tier only includes the Remote Access VPN.

Central Management

Remote Access VPN is centrally managed. The centralized console enables management and enforcement of policies with a single log-in.

Mobile Access Option

The Remote Access VPN has a web portal that users can use to connect securely to corporate applications, such as web-based resources, file-sharing, and email. Administrators can customize the web portal to match the brand identity.

2 Remote Access Options

Remote Access VPN offers two choices for remote access:

SSL VPN Portal: Includes the mobile access web portal, an SSL network extender, Check Point Mobile for iOS and Android, and a capsule workspace for iOS and Android.
Layer 3 VPN Tunnel: Includes the endpoint security remote access VPN, Check Point Mobile for Windows, the capsule connect for iOS and Android, the VPN plugin for Windows 8.1, and the capsule VPN for Windows 10.

Authentication Support

The authentication features include password management, RADIUS challenge/response, CAPI software, and hardware tokens. P12 certificates, and SecurID.

Encryption Tunnel

The system establishes a VPN tunnel on demand. It also re-arranges connections when roaming. The tunnel can automatically tear down when the user is on the corporate LAN.

Connect Options

There are several connection features, such as Hotspot detection, office mode IP, split tunneling, and automatic fallback to HTTPS.

Benefits of Check Point Remote Access VPN

One of the key advantages of Remote Access VPN is that it provides remote workers with a secure way to connect to a corporate network from any device, including their personal devices. The data encryption in transit enables them to securely access the resources they need for their tasks.

It also provides IT support and technicians with a faster way to troubleshoot software issues. In the case of a ticket, IT doesn’t need to go to the server location to fix the problem but can troubleshoot it remotely.

A remote secure access VPN is also an affordable alternative for small and medium-sized businesses, without requiring expensive infrastructure.

Reviews from Real Users

A Global IT Network and Security Service Senior Specialist at a manufacturing company who uses Check Point Remote Access VPN says, "I found the MEP feature the most valuable. This has improved users' latency allowing the users to connect to the nearest Azure Check Point VM."

"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," explains Basil D., Senior Manager at a financial services firm.

Manuel B., a Voice and data infrastructure specialist at a tech services company, says that "The IPSec VPN, Mobile Access, and Identity Awareness are three of the blades with which we have been working with since the pandemic. This has given us great mobility, making our network more dynamic."
