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.

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.

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.

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

"The stability of Microsoft Intune is good."

"My favorite feature of Microsoft Intune is the dashboard; the dashboard is very simple and user-friendly, and any person, even without prior knowledge, can understand it easily by seeing the interface dashboard."

"I find Microsoft Intune valuable primarily for its Windows management capabilities, along with its Android Enterprise and Apple device management for mobile devices."

"Autopilot is the most valuable feature of Microsoft Intune."

"The most valuable feature of Intune is the central dashboard for compliance and policy management."

"The initial setup is not overly complex or difficult."

"The Advanced Endpoint Analytics in Microsoft Intune has improved and helps us proactively detect and remediate anomalies in endpoints."

"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."

More Microsoft Intune pros

"The most valuable feature is the seamless access."

"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."

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

"Check Point Remote Access VPN has positively impacted our organization by centralizing the VPN connections so that we only have one place to manage them, instead of multiple that we had before."

"The product's initial setup phase was easy."

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

"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."

More Check Point Remote Access VPN pros

"The initial setup is simple."

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

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

"The solution is very fast."

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

Cons

"While Intune works perfectly well, the only potential downside is that the deployment could be a bit complex for some users."

"The time we have to wait to deploy policies has room for improvement."

"Reporting needs to be better. Sometimes, it is way too slow, and it is not even accurate."

"We do not utilize Microsoft customer service and technical support since it is generally a waste of time."

"The add-ons must be integrated into the solution."

"When we implemented Intune, it would have been helpful if Microsoft had provided some videos or data about Intune."

"In terms of the admin experience, it is straightforward, but the Windows enrollment experience could be improved. Sometimes, for enrollment, we have to reset devices and re-enroll them. Just configuring Windows, Azure, or Active Directory doesn't enroll the devices. We need easy enrollment for Windows."

"However, with Microsoft, it takes a lot longer, and I’m not getting quick resolutions. Sometimes, I find myself bouncing around between different support groups."

More Microsoft Intune cons

"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."

"One area that could be improved is the complexity of setting up Check Point Remote Access VPN, particularly with features like multi-factor authentication, single sign-on, and identity awareness. Deploying these solutions requires higher technical expertise than other solutions."

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

"Check Point Remote Access VPN handles up to a hundred megabytes for clients, but I want it to be able to handle up to one gigabyte."

"The documentation on how to integrate is out of date, not maintained, and not really supported from Check Point's side."

"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."

"Check Point Remote Access VPN could be improved in that the initial setup and configuration could be simplified for new users."

"The product needs to improve its support."

More Check Point Remote Access VPN cons

"Splashtop Remote Support needs to improve customization."

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

"The integration features could be better."

"The solution should be able to make an inventory of computers automatically."

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

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

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Intune comes with the licensing that is common for large organizations. However, Microsoft has recently released many add-ons that are very expensive, especially for large organizations or corporations."

"The purchase of the product was handled by someone else."

"The pricing needs improvement."

"Microsoft Intune is available for individual purchase at a low per-device cost."

"The clients pay for a license and each can have a different type of license, such as an E3 or E5."

"It comes with the E5 plan. We bought the E5 plan from Microsoft."

"The pricing is inherently reasonable, as Microsoft leverages market insights to maintain the total cost of ownership at around ninety to ninety-five percent of what would be incurred in an on-premise scenario."

"It is not expensive."

More Microsoft Intune pricing and cost advice

"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 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."

"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."

"There is a license required for this solution."

"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."

"The solution is pretty expensive. The rating is an eight."

More Check Point Remote Access VPN pricing and cost advice

"Splashtop Remote Support is not too expensive. It costs around 800 euros per year."

"The licensing fees are less than $400 per year."

"The price of the solution is mid-ranged, although it is more cost effective than that of TeamViewer."

Microsoft

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."
