Centralized device management has automated onboarding and improves remote security compliance

One thing I feel Microsoft Intune could improve is troubleshooting visibility. In many cases, when a policy or application deployment fails, the error messages are a bit generic. So, admins still spend time checking logs manually or testing on devices one by one. Compared to the simplicity of deployment, troubleshooting sometimes feels less mature. I also think reporting and real-time monitoring could be stronger. The dashboard gives useful information, but in large environments, many teams still depend on additional tools or scripts for deeper reporting and analytics. If I had to focus on one area first, I would probably choose troubleshooting and reporting. Deployment through Microsoft Intune is generally straightforward, but when something fails, identifying the exact root cause can still take more time than expected. Error messages are sometimes too generic, and admins often have to dig through logs, sync status, or multiple portals to understand what actually happened. I think user experience and policy management could also improve further. Microsoft Intune has become much better over the years, but sometimes the admin portal still feels fragmented because certain configurations open in different sections or redirect to older interfaces. For new admins, especially, it can take time to understand where everything is located. Another thing is policy conflict handling. In larger organizations, multiple device policies, compliance rules, and configuration profiles can overlap. When conflicts happen, the visibility is not always very clear, so admins spend time figuring out which policy actually won or caused the issue.

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

"I have seen a return on investment right from the start of the tool's usage."

"The biggest benefits of Intune are the ability to push changes and the added security. When we moved forward with Defender, we onboarded all those machines automatically. That helps dramatically. For a while, we were left with machines that weren't protected. We could see where people had done things they shouldn't have done, and Defender saved our skins a few times. It didn't happen a lot, but it happened enough that it made us glad we made that decision."

"Agile and easy to deploy MDM solution that covers the maximum number of policies. Stable, scalable, and with knowledgeable technical support."

"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 positively impacted our organization by covering processes, improving security, and saving time."

"I would rate the overall solution as a 10."

"What I like most about the tool is that it's now very easy to set up a device for someone to use. It also helps us tremendously in managing security. Before, we used on-premise management with a domain controller. It was difficult to manage security comprehensively. For example, it was hard to know which computers were updated. We weren't able to do that easily with our previous solution."

"We have found the solution is capable of scaling."

More Microsoft Intune pros

"It keeps us safe when browsing the internet and when sharing confidential information with our colleagues."

"This platform has developed a reliable communication infrastructure that employees can use to communicate with remote workers."

"The policies are easy to use."

"The solution implemented in the cloud allows us to easily scale in cases of user increase."

"It can improve an organization by providing secure access to resources for traveling employees, which can help to reduce the risk of data breaches or other security incidents."

"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 solution offers high scalability as far as adding more users."

"Check Point Remote Access VPN provides good connectivity with an active-on feature that ensures all traffic flows through the firewall and is inspected according to our security posture checks, preventing unauthorized website access by employees and ensuring that any files they download are completely free from threats."

More Check Point Remote Access VPN pros

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

"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 solution is very fast."

"The initial setup is simple."

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

More Splashtop Remote Support pros

Cons

"The only issues I have had with Microsoft Intune were with applications where if they are not an MSI file, I cannot really upload it as an application."

"The most significant challenge is reporting and monitoring. The reporting accuracy for deploying applications and all aspects of Intune needs to be improved."

"Reporting and troubleshooting for the application deployment could be better. It's very difficult to understand."

"One thing I would suggest is that servers are not getting managed through Microsoft Intune."

"Technical support is not great. If you open up a case, it may remain there for a long time."

"There's quite a lot of development that they can do within their Intune dashboard. I think there are too many lines hyperlinked to move you around. Others, in contrast, give you a simple dashboard and an intuitive administrative walkthrough."

"It would be better if I could integrate it with my core group policy. I would like to have a group policy in my current environment, which has strict control, but those things are still missing. Although it has maximum compliance and security, it's not available on-premise."

"I rate Microsoft customer service six out of 10. While some technicians go above and beyond, there is inconsistency, and connecting with the most helpful representatives is occasionally challenging."

More Microsoft Intune cons

"We encounter challenges for the product’s installation and troubleshooting processes compared to other VPN products."

"Check Point RA VPN requires companies to take separate licenses initially so that only 5 connected users licenses are given as subscriptions."

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

"They need to increase their timeout. Right now, it will fail after ten seconds, however, it shouldn't fail until after 20 seconds."

"The client-side UI is fundamental, and there is nothing to see."

"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."

"Connection of devices from various locations is efficient though there are a few challenges when there is a network failure."

"The main improvement I see for Check Point Remote Access VPN would be a cleaner, more modern interface."

More Check Point Remote Access VPN cons

"The integration features could be better."

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

"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."

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

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

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

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Any bundle package, such as Security E3, covers multiple things, such as AAP, BitLocker, etc. If you go for them individually, they would be more expensive. Bundling makes the price more attractive and competitive."

"It's a bit expensive from a licensing perspective, especially as we look to have organizations with tenants across the globe."

"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."

"It's affordable. It's cheaper if you have an Office 365, E5, or E3 subscription because everything is there."

"It is not a cheap solution. The price for a device when you start using it at a large scale can be improved. It is covered under our enterprise agreement. We pay once a year. I am not aware of any additional costs."

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

"It is cheap, but as compared to Google, it is costly. Google is cheaper, but quality-wise, Microsoft Intune is better."

"Pricing depends on the features. Microsoft offers special packages if there are more than 10,000 users, and you may be able to get a reduced rate."

More Microsoft Intune pricing and cost advice

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

"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."

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

"There is a license required for this solution."

"The price of this product is good."

"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."

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."
