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.

Senior Business Development Executive at Digitaltrack

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.

Remote access has transformed my hybrid work and now provides secure, fast connections anywhere

The best feature of Check Point Remote Access VPN is the easy connectivity. I just have to enter the gateway and the username and password, then click on connect and it will be connected to my organization network. The process is very straightforward and the remote control is outstanding with great connectivity. The remote control feature makes my work easier because there is no latency I am experiencing while accessing from a remote site. I mainly access two to three servers at a time, and I have not seen any lag or latency through Check Point Remote Access VPN. That is outstanding about Check Point Remote Access VPN solution. Check Point Remote Access VPN has positively impacted my organization because productivity has increased.

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 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."

"My advice for those implementing Microsoft Intune is to proceed with it; there is no other software that can perform the job better, and Microsoft offers extensive experience with a mature ecosystem, so I recommend going for it."

"We use a local Active Directory, but we weren't able to manage all our on-site systems without a solution like Intune, and we needed to deploy software like VPNs and other things. It's seamless now to to this through Intune."

"I particularly appreciate the administration and security features, which can be deployed easily."

"The security features are most definitely valuable. If I have to give an example, the lockdown features that prevent employees from configuring anything or downloading company data are valuable. We get high-quality device protection, malware protection, and information protection at the same time."

"We were trying to solve many issues, mainly the lack of centralized management. Before Microsoft Intune, we had to manually support devices one by one, installing applications and configuring policies individually. When we implemented the tool, it became much easier to manage our devices. We enroll them in Microsoft Intune and can manage all devices with a few clicks. For application management, it's the same process. If we want to deploy applications to hundreds or thousands of devices, we can do it easily with just a few clicks. This also applies to policies."

"With these improvements, I estimate we've reduced our patching costs by over $100,000 a month, as the MSP previously had to troubleshoot various issues manually."

"The ability to work from all over the planet is valuable. You just need a functioning and working Internet connection."

More Microsoft Intune pros

"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."

"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."

"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."

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

"Overall, I rate Check Point Remote Access VPN a nine."

"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."

"Its complete ROI, as expected."

"A single login based on a second authentication factor is giving us the possibility of integrating third-party services for authentication based on a security scheme."

More Check Point Remote Access VPN pros

"The initial setup is simple."

"The solution is very fast."

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

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

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

"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."

More Splashtop Remote Support pros

Cons

"The difficulty of the the roll out is surprisingly difficult considering this product is supposed to be an integrated part of the 365 suite."

"An area for improvement is the absence of seamless integration, particularly with external dashboards."

"Microsoft Intune could improve its reporting depth and make some policy configurations less complex, especially for hybrid environments."

"It would be beneficial to have a more straightforward understanding of Intune's capabilities, presented in a simplified manner."

"From my level of analysis, the feature I would prefer to see added to Microsoft Intune is extensive support. Anything that helps to diagnose the problem and solve it would be useful."

"The solution could improve its flexibility."

"The reporting functionality of Microsoft Intune is limited compared to Microsoft System Center, which offers many more reporting options."

"Better reporting capabilities, stronger Mac OS management, faster policy synchronization, and easier troubleshooting are needed."

More Microsoft Intune cons

"Our key technical supports come during hours that are not aligned with our working hours, which sometimes affects our access to support."

"I would like this service to be easier to manage when you integrate it with third parties."

"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."

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

"The fully-featured security module is only supported on Windows and Mac systems, which means that organizations with Linux will face issues providing secure access."

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

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

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

More Check Point Remote Access VPN cons

"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."

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

"Splashtop Remote Support needs to improve customization."

"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."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We don't pay for Intune because it is bundled with the premium subscription to Office 365. It includes Intune and Defender. I don't have to buy two extra products to manage my enterprise."

"Licensing depends on how you are providing support to your enterprise, whether it's device-based or user-based."

"Microsoft Intune is reasonably priced for large organizations that already have Microsoft Enterprise licenses, but it is less affordable for smaller businesses."

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

"With one user base license, we can use Intune for up to five devices. However, with Soti MobiControl, each license is tied to a single device, meaning one license is dedicated to one device only."

"It is reasonable. When you have Microsoft 365 E3 or E5 license, it is already licensed in that license. So, you could say it is free."

"My team members bundled it together with their Microsoft solutions, including Microsoft 365 and related products."

"As a partner, we always look for how we can generate more revenue from a consulting point of view, but I do not see any complaints from the customer side regarding pricing, so they are satisfied with it."

More Microsoft Intune pricing and cost advice

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

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

"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."

"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."

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

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

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."
