We performed a comparison between Check Point Remote Access VPN and Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Enterprise Infrastructure VPN solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."It's an ideal gateway solution for small and medium businesses, i.e., around 300 devices can be easily handled."
"The solution has good performance."
"We can integrate remote access to our branches through Check Point services."
"The biggest advantage of Check Point Remote Access VPN is that we already use the Check Point firewall. We only needed to enable the feature and do the configuration in order to enable the VPN feature. We didn't need to buy or manage new hardware. This was a big advantage."
"Check Point Remote Access VPN enables us to access on-premise applications while working from remote locations."
"The VPN hides your IP address and encrypts your online traffic and it essentially ensures that your fingerprints cannot be traced on the Internet."
"Check Point has been perfect for protecting us from any type of attack or data theft during remote management."
"Once we install and connect the VPN service, it keeps on running until we disconnect."
"The solution is easy to install, centrally managed, and stable, with good technical support and a straightforward setup."
"The ability to create your trigger data domains is the solution's most valuable feature."
"The solution works very well. You just click and it's working."
"You can use it from anywhere."
"It does not slow down anything, unlike other solutions."
"The product is easy to use."
"I think Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client is stable."
"The dashboard and interface are fine."
"AnyConnect SMC's best features are that it's secure and connects seamlessly to clients' networks."
"I like the ability to share the connections or simply to be able to pass the credentials for a connection to other colleagues without bothering too much about the connection being tracked or about security, because each and every user will require a secret password, so I don't really care about sending the details. It's very secure."
"There must be a more easy-to-use GUI."
"I cannot see the full effect of the endpoint solution because it relies on having access to the DNF queries, which might not go through the Check Point firewall when you're using it for perimeter networks. Check Point will not identify the actual source of the net queries. This may be related to the architecture, however, and not poor product issues. I don't know if it can be improved on the Check Point side or not."
"Without a doubt and with the new trends in technology, Check Point should already have a blade with a 2MFA solution and not through some other vendor."
"The VPN remote Access blade could be improved."
"I would like this service to be easier to manage when you integrate it with third parties."
"There is always room for innovation and the addition of new features."
"We would like to implement HTML5 (clientless access) in the product without installing any additional software."
"They could add more features, like the security to block off the doors, or create another hatch, something like this. They could make the features safer, add malware to make my mail and the Kryon system safer and to protect data at an earlier stage."
"Sometimes the application slows down the computing device, and this affects workflows."
"All Cisco equipment tends to be expensive compared to newer options from other vendors."
"They can redesign the reset password, reset function, and user interface."
"The GUI needs to be upgraded."
"We were going to use the Cisco AnyConnect with hardware tokens. However, right now, it's very complicated in terms of delivering the hardware token to the customer. That's why we are looking for a software token right now."
"The setup could be simplified for solutions engineers with a wizard."
"Improvements could be made in terms of pricing and ease of setup."
"I haven't found there are any shortcomings in the product. For how I use it, it works well."
"It would be useful to have an automatic install process where if you connect and you don't have the latest version, it should be automatically done."
