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.

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

"Microsoft Intune has saved me about 30% of my time through streamlined processes and efficient resource management."

"We can securely manage both company-owned devices and personal devices enrolled in our BYOD program."

"Given all of the factors and things to consider, including features and cost, I would say that Intune has a slight edge over competing products."

"While Microsoft Intune boasts a wide range of features, its user-friendliness and bundled licensing cost are key considerations for me."

"I like how Intune deploys the policies and makes them customizable. You can deploy it through Intune and forget about it."

"We have definitely seen a good return on investment with Microsoft Intune, as it saved us a lot of time on manual tasks and reduced the need for extra tools, so overall costs went down as well."

"The most valuable feature is the UEM capabilities."

"This solution saves us a lot of time once it's implemented."

More Microsoft Intune pros

"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."

"The security of the solution is a good feature, the stability is a valuable feature, and the customization is also a nice feature."

"Check Point Remote Access VPN has positively impacted our organization by allowing easier management of remote users, and it also gives us better insight into logging behind the scenes."

"The capacity that Check Point Remote Access VPN offers is one of the best, and it has made it easier for us and the team to have great mobility inside and outside the organization."

"We can integrate remote access to our branches through Check Point services."

"Previously, we had around 15 corporate clients; through the COVID-19 pandemic, we have managed to grow and now have around 35 new corporate clients and more than 6,000 people connected by VPN, which has forced us to increase our infrastructure to support all these connections and have a stable, reliable, and, above all, scalable solution that can interconnect more clients."

"After deploying Check Point Remote Access VPN, the ease of doing work from anywhere has resolved our challenges."

"Check Point Remote Access VPN has positively impacted my organization because we can connect our resources remotely with a secure network and secure channel."

More Check Point Remote Access VPN pros

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

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

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

"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 solution is very fast."

"The initial setup is simple."

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

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

More Splashtop Remote Support pros

Cons

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

"There could be more features added. For me, as I mentioned, one area is the reporting. If the reporting became better, I think you would not need to use more RMMs."

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

"Microsoft Intune could enhance its patch management for various devices, ensuring regular updates and tracking of device privileges."

"Reporting could be improved. It needs to be more expensive and robust."

"Intune should support platforms other than Windows. We have encountered several limitations, especially when handling iOS devices."

"The configuration could be better by consolidating options and making it simpler."

"When somebody has a customized application or their own company's application, we cannot deploy that application."

More Microsoft Intune cons

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

"Sometimes we have some small problems with Check Point Remote Access VPN. For example, problems with authentication."

"When you need to create something, you have to follow many steps and I think that should be simplified."

"I would like the support to be faster."

"User experience and interface need improvement. The VPN client interface is functional but could benefit from a more modern, intuitive design, with clearer connection status indicators, simplified settings, and a more guided setup process would help reduce confusion, especially for less tech-savvy users."

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

"The Compliance software blade is available only for the Windows operating systems family, so no macOS security checks are implemented and performed."

"Check Point Remote Access VPN can be improved in throughput, as when multiple users are connected through the Remote Access VPN, there can be an issue where only a single user can access our single servers, which needs to be resolved."

More Check Point Remote Access VPN cons

"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."

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

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

"The integration features could be better."

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

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

More Splashtop Remote Support cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We don't get Intune as a separate module. Most of the time, we use it within an enterprise agreement like E3 or E5. Those licenses are at a good price, but what is annoying is that every single year they go higher."

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

"No one can compete with Microsoft when it comes to price, and the features it is offering."

"The pricing for Intune and the competitor products are all within the same range, there is no true advantage when it comes to cost."

"While I can't provide insights from a business perspective, it's worth noting that the pricing may differ significantly, and the discount we received might not be reflective of standard business rates."

"Microsoft Intune costs about $7 per user per month, which is somewhat on the pricier end. That said, it's a reliable product, so it's fair."

"While Microsoft Intune boasts a wide range of features, its user-friendliness and bundled licensing cost are key considerations for me."

"Microsoft Intune has been incorporated into our Microsoft E5 licenses."

More Microsoft Intune pricing and cost advice

"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."

"The price of this product is good."

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

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

"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."

"I give the price of the solution a five out of ten."

"There is a license required for this solution."

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."
