Joseph Merusi - PeerSpot reviewer
Everything has worked better since we started using it
Sometimes the syncing is inconsistent. I'm confident that the devices are checking in every eight hours, but sometimes the devices aren't picking up the settings as quickly as I would expect. Some features haven't been updated in a while, and Microsoft doesn't seem interested in developing them. Unless you talk to an engineer, you don't know whether there will be an update. There are communication issues, so you might start working with a feature without knowing if it will be deprecated six months from now. Some reporting areas still need development. For example, I noticed that the reporting for driver updates is still confusing.

Remote administration is enabled with secure and user-friendly access
The main purpose of the product is for firewall purposes that we are using, and the VPN provides secure access for remote connections. It adds simplicity, as the solution is simple enough, with an easy interface. The functionality enables secure access for remotely connecting users, which is necessary for our operations.

Achieve certifications with progress tracking and potential for enhanced interactivity
I was using Claroty to complete training assigned by my company. The courses were self-paced and helped me get certified in two additional certifications. I plan to use it further as I have a task list for future courses. It was primarily for certification and study materials The feature I like…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The ability to (somewhat) manage full Windows 10 computers including EXE-based or MSI-based application deployments using Azure Active Directory as Identity."
"One of our clients migrated the model workplace based on Intune, achieving a 78 percent cost reduction, which is quite a lot."
"Microsoft Intune has been a time saver and reduces the time and effort IT admins have to invest."
"Intune does consolidate all endpoint and security management tools into one place, making everything easier to manage."
"The initial setup is not overly complex or difficult."
"Based on my experience, I find Intune very flexible for managing Windows devices. We can use scripting, and we can make use of the self-service portal or the company portal to publish some of the applications for Windows."
"The most valuable includes managing everything from a single console."
"Technical support, in general, has been quite helpful."
"The management of the solution is very simple. It allows for a single view of all the endpoints."
"One feature that is highly valued by our clients in remote access VPN is the IPsec suite. With IPsec, we can encrypt our data, ensuring that no one can perform a man-in-the-middle attack or decrypt the data. It utilizes powerful mathematical calculations and end-to-end encryption, preventing hacking attempts."
"The product's initial setup phase was easy."
"Check Point Remote Access VPN provides strong security features, including encryption, authentication, endpoint security, access control, and centralized management."
"The most valuable feature of Check Point Remote Access VPN is its ability to deploy. It follows the same process as their stateful inspection firewall or IPS. If you know how to enable one feature, you can enable and configure others. The learning curve isn't steep."
"It keeps us safe when browsing the internet and when sharing confidential information with our colleagues."
"The most important feature of Check Point Remote Access VPN is the multiple factor authentication."
"For a basic setup, implementation is quite easy."
"Claroty provides continuous threat protection and identifies pre-empty stuff and false positives."
"I appreciate the active coding, deep inspection of packages, and data retrieval. The tool covers information about assets and attack vectors, which I find superior to other tools. Based on alerts, I create reports detailing how an attacker can penetrate the plant, both externally and internally."
"I like how the tool does passive and active discovery and threat detection and shows risks, recommendations, and vulnerabilities. It gives risk scores and gathers everything in one place - IP, device name, etc. We can integrate it with other tools for overall network mapping. It's useful for audits, compliance, and monitoring of all devices in the industry. It provides both monitoring and control. We also have SRA for incident response, which lets us search all alerts if we deploy the Claroty Platform."
"The product helps mitigate potential threats, especially if its users have signature rules. The product also provides alerts."
"I believe the two main aspects where Claroty stands out are their ability to provide a complete platform and their OT-specific focus."
"The main advantage of Claroty, when compared to its competitors, is integrated secure remote access."
"Claroty identifies all vulnerabilities available in our environment."
"The solution's asset management is really great compared to Dragos or Nozomi."
 

Cons

"There's a significant discrepancy in Intune pricing between tenants."
"When Microsoft Intune is used with different android devices it does not always work as it is supposed to."
"Sometimes the syncing is inconsistent. I'm confident that the devices are checking in every eight hours, but sometimes the devices aren't picking up the settings as quickly as I would expect. Some features haven't been updated in a while, and Microsoft doesn't seem interested in developing them. Unless you talk to an engineer, you don't know whether there will be an update."
"It would be nice to have a location tracker for the mobile device management tool. I'm not sure if it exists but hasn't been configured or if it's missing, but we've been unable to utilize the location features."
"There are a few security features that are not available in Microsoft Intune, when compared to other products."
"Improvements can be made by allowing server integrations since it is an area where the product currently has shortcomings."
"It would be awesome if Microsoft opened their API so we could filter more properties. If we have to do anything outside of Intune that requires a third-party solution to talk back to it, we're very limited in what we can do. Trust your people. We promise not to break your stuff. Open it up just a tiny bit wider."
"We've faced significant pushback with Copilot as our clients aren't seeing a favorable cost-benefit analysis."
"In the case of URL translation of the VPN Web portal, the requests made from the front end to the back end weren't valid (due to the use of dynamic subdomains). In the case of host translations, the request was made to the same host, however, we cannot specify the ports, which, in our case, are used to redirect to different servers."
"Some configurations, like idle timeout (the requirement came from multiple users), are not possible to configure directly from the Check Point management server."
"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."
"The maximum it is giving us is only 5 licenses and if you need more, they must be purchased separately."
"They need to increase their timeout. Right now, it will fail after ten seconds, however, it shouldn't fail until after 20 seconds."
"In my organization, there aren't Linux users, however, I know it has difficulties offering secure access for customers who use this operating system."
"There were some issues with automation and instability."
"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."
"The product could be improved in terms of user interface design."
"The product's integration capabilities are an area of concern where improvements are required."
"I've reported four bugs and three feature requests so far. The main area of focus should be on how attacks are detected. The attack vector information needs to be more detailed. For example, it's not enough to state that an SMB v1 version open can lead to a WannaCry attack. A more detailed explanation should help clients understand the various ways an attack could occur."
"Claroty Platform could improve the pricing to get more acceptability in the market."
"If more AI features could be included with the Clarity solution, it would be feasible for everybody."
"The graphical user interface is quite poor."
"There is room for improvement in the user interface to make it more vibrant and interactive, similar to IT tools."
"For improvement, I think the training could be more practical. We have external training, but they're mostly theoretical. I want the solution to provide hands-on lab experience to help users learn better."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is competitive, but it is not cheap."
"We are partners, so we receive some discount. However, from the customer's perspective, Microsoft Intune's pricing is competitive with non-Microsoft technology, and the price is good compared to other market competitors."
"Microsoft Intune is a cost effective choice. It is less expensive than other products on the market."
"Microsoft licenses are costly."
"Microsoft Intune is expensive."
"My team members bundled it together with their Microsoft solutions, including Microsoft 365 and related products."
"Its licensing model is not complex, but it is very expensive compared to other solutions. They can bring more models and reduce the pricing. They should allow customers to select the features they want and price it accordingly."
"There is a license required to use this solution. However, it was part of a bundle package. Microsoft Intune is far less expensive than other solutions, such as Workspace ONE."
"I can say that the licensing costs are charged annually."
"The solution is pretty expensive. The rating is an eight."
"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."
"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."
"The price of this product is good."
"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."
"There is a license required for this solution."
"It's a bit expensive compared to other solutions."
"The licensing for physical devices is cheap, but the software version is expensive. The software version costs around 26-28 dollars. I was surprised and even double-checked. It was shocking."
"The tool is quite expensive."
