Find out in this report how the two Remote Access solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Our users find the interface very comfortable to use."
"Technical support has been excellent."
"The most important feature of Check Point Remote Access VPN is the multiple factor authentication."
"It is a scalable solution...The technical support team of the solution is very good."
"The solution has been solid for me for over five years."
"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."
"The initial set up is not complex."
"Thanks to all these security processes, our users can access our infrastructure with the certainty that we will not be compromised."
"The product is really easy to deploy."
"The initial setup is fairly straightforward."
"It's very low maintenance."
"I've noted an ROI while using the solution."
"The unattended access functionality is a valuable feature, because I can go in at any time that I want, deploy fixes, or do maintenance."
"Due to the fact that we can help our clients virtually, the solution has allowed us to reduce our travel costs by about 90%."
"ConnectWise Connect is very convenient as we can remote to a PC even when it is not within our LAN."
"It's very easy to use. Provides connections that are always on. It was nice to be able to see a list of end-points and see whether or not they were connected so I could troubleshoot any network issues I had."
"Sometimes it causes the consumption of machine resources, and also improves the scanning since they consume many resources in the clients' machines."
"We are very happy with the Windows client. You log in with the VPN for the full client, you do the log in there. But for Linux machines, they don't have a full client to install. It is important because we have some users that use Linux and they don't have a specific application from Check Point to use. That is something that could be improved."
"The Compliance software blade is available only for the Windows operating systems family, so no macOS security checks are implemented and performed."
"Check Point Remote Access VPN's connectivity and establishment takes time and needs to be faster."
"We'd like to integrate Check Point into the Remote Access VPN solution and have the ability to integrate multiple devices as access points through the solution."
"When you need to create something, you have to follow many steps and I think that should be simplified."
"Some configurations, like idle timeout (the requirement came from multiple users), are not possible to configure directly from the Check Point management server."
"There needs to be a way to create a VPN client specific to our environment so that we can easily lock down who can connect."
"Support for PAC files on the guest's side and support for proxy on the host's side. Currently, there is no support for guest-side PAC files or for the host-side proxy (which uses authentication)."
"I would like ConnectWise Control to be more transparent on the real costs to renew their license."
"They could provide a toolbox for the plan I'm on."
"What we need this product to do is to be able to control Windows Updates. LogMeIn Central allowed us remote access but also allowed to push and install Windows Updates, and third-party updates... When we made the switch to ConnectWise we lost the ability to do patching. That forced us, for our larger clients, to move to WSUS. We had to set up a VM on those larger clients to push Windows Updates and patches into the network."
"There could be improvement to the remote command line tools."
"For my company, just installing the software and using it is very easy. But if I need to give one of my customers access to their machines, the process that you have to go through is some 15 to 20 steps. You have to create a group, and then you have to assign a policy. It takes 15 to 20 minutes to set up someone for remote access to their own machine."
"The solution is a little bit complicated when you want to implement it."
"The recent redesign has made it slower and basically worthless."
