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.

Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: Check Point requires a more complex deployment but offers professional customer support to guide through installation and use. Splashtop offers easy and quick installation with excellent customer service, often providing a smoother onboarding experience for smaller businesses without specialized IT departments.

Pricing and ROI: Check Point involves higher initial costs which can be justified by its strong security and integration features, offering a high return on investment for businesses targeting long-term security. Splashtop provides competitive pricing with lower upfront costs, translating to substantial cost savings and a quick return on investment, appealing to budget-conscious users.

Centralized endpoint security has improved and supports hybrid work and BYOD policies

Regarding what I dislike about Microsoft Intune and its downsides, I would say that more Mac controls are needed because we have limited Mac and Linux control. When comparing controls and policies between Windows, Mac, and Linux, Windows has almost everything you can think of, while Mac and Linux have limited types of control. You cannot implement certain things on Mac and Linux that you can on Windows. The limited controls are a major issue. Additionally, if Microsoft could find a way to embed servers into Microsoft Intune, that would be beneficial. Microsoft Intune is not really designed for servers or Windows servers. It is more tailored towards Windows 11 and Windows 10 operating systems. Windows servers are not fully supported. Enterprise organizations usually have both servers and endpoints, which are users' workstations. For servers, most people look for other solutions such as SCCM, which is Configuration Manager. However, SCCM is what Microsoft Intune is trying to replace. Both SCCM and Microsoft Intune belong to Microsoft. Microsoft is trying to transition organizations into Microsoft Intune, the native cloud solution. However, because this update is still in process, servers are not fully compatible with Microsoft Intune and cannot be managed by it. The current policy that has emerged from issues with clients is what they call co-management, which is relatively new, and I do not know if adoption is significant. Many legacy or older customers who have been using these products for decades still have SCCM. When it is time for them to manage their Windows devices, they use what is called cloud attach. Cloud attach is a term whereby your SCCM is connected to your Microsoft Intune. Most people do not know about it, but I have deployed it for several organizations. Cloud attach and co-management work together so that your device is in SCCM, but some policies are pushed from Microsoft Intune. It is like two different solutions working hand in hand. That is what they call co-management. Microsoft Intune does not bring all of your endpoint and security management tools into one place, which is the goal and how it should be. However, as I mentioned, servers are not included. If we talk about end users, Microsoft Intune does bring all your devices together. In a typical enterprise environment, you have end users with workstations, laptops, company-issued phones, and bring your own devices. You can create policies for all of these. However, for the backend, your servers do not have much coverage. Servers are not really covered by Microsoft Intune in that way.

Has improved security and enabled remote work flexibility across teams

The best features Check Point Remote Access VPN offers are its security features, which stand out to me. Whenever we are giving the remote access VPN to any employees or vendors, we can specify and control particular access. If we want to give access to a particular IP only, we can achieve that via this feature, and we also apply security features such as antivirus and anti-spyware while giving access to any employees or partners. The ability to control and specify access with Check Point Remote Access VPN, such as limiting to particular IPs or applying antivirus and anti-spyware, makes our environment safe from cyber threats and any types of malicious activities or accessing our private data. We control this through the feature by applying security policies that allow particular users. After deploying Check Point Remote Access VPN solution, I can say that our productivity has maximized. Users are working from home and even working 24/7. If they want, they can access our resources at any time, providing flexibility to work from anywhere. Employees say that sometimes they are not available during the working hour, but they can work from home at their flexible timing, needing access to our private network resources. They sit at home or any remote site and connect to our network to work, which is very good.

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

"Microsoft Intune has had a very positive impact on our organization, especially in terms of security and efficiency."

"I have had a positive experience with Microsoft Intune; it simplifies device management, improves security, and saves time."

"Overall, I like Intune as a solution and would rate it nine out of ten."

"It's very informative when there is an error. It allows us to backtrace where the error is and resolve that ourselves. It's a bit of a Swiss Army penknife. We find that it fixes most issues."

"I like the tool's integration with Apple. Anyone who creates an ID in Intune will get an Apple ID."

"The user experience of Microsoft Intune is very friendly and the interface is very good."

"It is a cloud-based service. It is easy to use and offers privacy."

"Intune's most valuable features are its device management capabilities, particularly its centralized integration with other Microsoft stack components."

More Microsoft Intune pros

"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."

"With such an approach, the solution can solve every remote working problem from anywhere, on any device while maintaining security features."

"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."

"Check Point Remote Access VPN is a stable solution."

"Check Point Remote Access VPN provides strong security features, including encryption, authentication, endpoint security, access control, and centralized management."

"We have more control over the activity that users have on the internal network, thanks to the monitoring offered by Check Point and the security provided by the gateway."

"The solution has been solid for me for over five years."

More Check Point Remote Access VPN pros

"The solution is very fast."

"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."

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

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

"The initial setup is simple."

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

More Splashtop Remote Support pros

Cons

"We've faced significant pushback with Copilot as our clients aren't seeing a favorable cost-benefit analysis."

"Technical support can be challenging when resources shift, requiring repeated explanations. Support from India sometimes provides information without the right solution."

"There are some issues using the solution with macOS and iOS, and it offers limited granular control with them. Intune works better on Windows and Android."

"Lacking in features such as Wi-Fi and network security."

"For an existing customer who has an SCCM, it would need to be upgraded to an MECM first before I can introduce Microsoft Intune."

"I am not involved in the day-to-day with Intune, but we have gone with a different product for updating mobile device software. We do not integrate many of our mobile devices that are not Microsoft-based devices, such as Dell laptops, with Intune."

"There are some cases where features of Microsoft Intune have changed, and sometimes it's tricky to find the answer."

"While the ability to deploy applications at startup is reliable, the policy-based application deployment method has not reached the same level of consistency."

More Microsoft Intune cons

"There was complexity in the initial setup."

"The maximum it is giving us is only 5 licenses and if you need more, they must be purchased separately."

"I think Check Point Remote Access VPN can be improved as it's more of an annoyance for a good number of the clients because it doesn't save their credentials."

"When you want to deploy a new Check Point agent, it is really a pain in the butt. For example, Windows 10 now has updates almost every couple of months. It changes the versioning and things under the hood. These are things that I don't understand, because I'm not a Windows person. However, I know that the Check Point client is installed on the Windows machine, and if the Check Point client's not kept up-to-date, then it's functionality breaks. It has to be up-to-date with the Windows versions. Check Point has to update the client more often. Now, the problem is that the Check Point client is not easy to update on remote computers and it's not easy to deploy a new client."

"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."

"When you want to deploy a new Check Point agent, it is really a pain in the butt."

"The configuration of Check Point Remote Access VPN could be simplified so that there will be no complex steps to configure it and maintain it."

"Knowledge base documentation can be upgraded."

More Check Point Remote Access VPN cons

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

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

"Splashtop Remote Support needs to improve customization."

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

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I rate Intune five out of 10 for pricing. It's expensive."

"The solution is cost-efficient."

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

"The price of Intune is often included as part of a bundle with other Microsoft licenses, which makes it somewhat cheaper."

"It is expensive. The cost depends on the license that we choose."

"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."

"Consider the Microsoft Enterprise Mobility Suite rather than choosing specific sub-components, e.g. only Microsoft Intune."

"I rate Intune an eight out of ten for affordability. It's bundled with the 365 licensing, which is competitive overall."

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."

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

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

"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 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."

"There is a license required for this solution."

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

"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."

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

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