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. Splashtop's limited advanced security features may not satisfy organizations requiring high security, and expanding its security offerings could be beneficial. Additionally, both could enhance integration capabilities with other third-party applications.

Collaboration Support Engineer at a retailer with 11-50 employees

Centralized device management has transformed security and streamlined remote provisioning

One area where Microsoft Intune can improve is the user interface. Sometimes the portal feels a bit complex and not very intuitive, especially for new users, and it can take time to find specific settings. Another point is troubleshooting. While logs are available, the diagnostic policies and sync issues can still be time-consuming and not very straightforward. I also feel that reporting could be more detailed and customizable. The built-in reports are helpful, but for deeper insights, I often need to rely on additional tools. Overall, it is a strong solution, but improving usability and troubleshooting experience would make it even better. While Microsoft Intune works very well within the Microsoft ecosystem, the integration of some third-party tools could be smoother and require less customization. Support is another area that could improve, as sometimes response times can be slow, and resolving complex issues may take longer than expected. In terms of features, I think more advanced automation and built-in remediation options would be helpful since common issues can be fixed automatically without manual intervention.

Gfrancis Francis

Vice President at Korchek Technologies

Has provided secure remote access for years but inconsistent support delays resolution

Regarding logging and management, while some of the logging is really good, other times it's not so great, and we've had to reach out to Check Point a few times for assistance, and the support we've gained hasn't been up to par with what Check Point usually offers as part of their support. When it comes to improvements, not specifically the remote access VPN, but the support associated with Check Point products has fallen over the last two years, and the response time is much worse, with the first layer of support lacking sufficient knowledge on how to troubleshoot issues.

Chief Alchemist/ VP at DFC BBQ

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

"I appreciate how easy it is to deploy certificates to end users to get control over their device with Microsoft Intune; that's what Microsoft Intune is known for, and that's what we use them for."

"If a client is using a lot of Microsoft, it's a great product to have."

"The policy and compliance monitoring of devices and the software deployment are most valuable."

"Autopilot is the most valuable feature."

"Their price is really good, which is the reason customers move here, because as part of the Office 365 package, they always get the E365 as well, which makes it easy for them to manage their devices without having additional licenses for Intune."

"It is much easier to deploy software updates and Windows updates globally because of the cloud base, so I can manage from anywhere, making it quite convenient for me."

"The mobile application management, MAM, is the most useful aspect of the solution."

"Previously, we used on-prem SCCM to deploy applications we built manually. After migrating to Intune, we automated and streamlined the process of deploying applications with autopilot. I can do more with my day. I can manage more applications and ensure that they're updated without monitoring and manually starting that process all over again."

More Microsoft Intune pros

"Check Point Remote Access VPN has positively impacted our organization by enabling employees to securely access internal systems from anywhere, which has reduced downtime and made it easier to stay connected while traveling or working from home."

"It allows everyone to work from home. If no one could work from home, then we wouldn't have a company, especially now during COVID-19. It's mission-critical, especially since it's currently being used. If there is a problem with it, we would really be screwed. We would be hard-pressed because we would have to figure out what solution we're going to go with, how to deploy it, how long it would take to deploy it, and how we'd even get it on people's computers if we couldn't VPN to them. It would be near impossible to just change to a new VPN solution right now."

"The headache of connecting has been removed."

"A clear example of the positive impact this license has had in my organization was back in 2020, as the software was in use since before the pandemic hit so our personnel was familiarized with the product and the transition was smooth and secure from the office to work from home."

"Our users find the interface very comfortable to use."

"Check Point Remote Access VPN has given positive outcomes by providing the flexibility to work from anywhere; it has increased the productivity of the team."

"Check Point Remote Access VPN enables us to access on-premise applications while working from remote locations."

"Our number of users working remotely vastly increased during the COVID 19 pandemic. Check Point Remote Access VPN allowed us to quickly make the transition from in-office to remote work."

More Check Point Remote Access VPN pros

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

"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."

"In contrast, Splashtop is a really good product and it's not so expensive."

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

"With the extended license, it's easy to be remote."

"The SOS Support is a most valuable feature, as we have remote access from our phone, there is no need to install the software, and we can do it on the cloud."

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

"The solution is very fast."

More Splashtop Remote Support pros

Cons

"Intune endpoint analytics can be challenging."

"The configuration and pricing can be improved."

"The solution could improve by having better integration with Apple."

"There is improvement needed in integrating with the installed Office solutions versions, such as Office 2019."

"The interface is not as modern as some competitors in terms of single pane of glass visibility across the entire landscape. It has a very Azure vibe and may not be as graphically appealing as other products."

"Microsoft Intune has a few areas where it could improve, such as faster policy and app deployment, a better user interface, stronger support for non-Windows devices, improved reporting and visibility, easier troubleshooting tools, and more transparent pricing."

"Reporting in Microsoft Intune presents challenges because the built-in reports are often too basic."

"The technical support from Microsoft is not good, they take a long time to respond to a case and they do not update you on what is happening on a case."

More Microsoft Intune cons

"Check Point Remote Access VPN can be improved by having more granular options to steer traffic, like easier configurations for split tunneling, which is currently complex."

"It's difficult to configure on Linux workstations as Check Point Remote VPN clients support only Windows and Mac devices."

"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 ability to allow split-tunneling while still following our corporate policy needs to be on the table."

"Despite being very intuitive, the interface needs improvements."

"Improved scalability would allow the solution to handle larger numbers of users and devices without a significant impact on performance."

"Knowledge base documentation can be upgraded."

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

More Check Point Remote Access VPN cons

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

"Splashtop Remote Support needs to improve customization."

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

"I'm not sure if I can recommend the solution as I'm not sure if it's a fit for me."

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

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

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

"The integration features could be better."

More Splashtop Remote Support cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It comes as a bundle, so you do not really know what the prices are. Microsoft does not break it down to the user cost for us. It is just bundled with our E5 license."

"We use Defender ATP and E5 licenses."

"It's a part of Microsoft 365 and E5 licenses. Microsoft's strategy of making every feature in Microsoft Intune paid needs optimization. Remote control is one of the basic features, not a luxury feature, yet we must pay for it. I"

"The cost is handled through our Office 365 license, so I have yet to be able to compare it directly with other tools in its class."

"It's affordable. In comparison to the competitors, the price depends on what features you need from Intune, but it's affordable. There are no hidden costs, but there are some features that go for a premium price. Those are the add-ons for which you have to pay extra."

"I recently got to know that the AD P1 license is compulsory to use Intune Autopilot, which was surprising for me. Earlier, this was not the case. It is the wrong thing to do. We now need to purchase AD P1 licenses for us and for our customers. I would rate it a seven out of ten for pricing."

"The pricing for Microsoft Intune is reasonable. Our clients are satisfied."

"For organizations that are a Microsoft shop, the pricing is compelling."

More Microsoft Intune pricing and cost advice

"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 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."

"Check Point Remote Access VPN is not expensive and the cost is annual."

"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."

"Organizations that already have the Check Point NGFW need to purchase an additional license to have access to the VPN functionality."

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

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

More Check Point Remote Access VPN pricing and cost advice

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

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

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