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

"Autopilot is the most valuable feature."

"We saw a strong return on investment with Microsoft Intune, as it reduced the time spent on device provisioning, software deployment, and security policy management through automation and centralized control while also enabling faster onboarding for new devices, improved compliance management, and lower operational overhead for the IT team by reducing the need for manual device configuration and support."

"It is absolutely a positive investment."

"The one feature we find most useful is the Mobile Application Manager. There are two types, we have the complete MDM and the Mobile Application Manager(MAM). We don't give our users phones, it is their own personal phone, and we need to allow them to have access to the company detail on their phone. We need to create a balance between their own personal data and the company data. We deploy the Mobile Application Manager for them so that we won't be able to interfere with their own personal data."

"One of the most valuable features of Microsoft Intune is the detection and remediation script capability."

"If you want to manage your mobile devices as well as your Windows 10 devices, Intune is the best option."

"The valuable feature of this solution is its ease of use."

"Overall, Microsoft Intune is genuinely built for growth, catering well to both small teams and large enterprises with the same foundation and scaling smoothly without requiring a significant overhaul."

More Microsoft Intune pros

"The secure hotspot access for enabling good network connectivity is great."

"The team has full visibility of the users that connect allowing them to keep control of who is in the network and what data they are allowing to come in and out."

"The ability for our entire global organization to work more securely and to allow us to deploy private and dedicated networks in more than one location."

"The Check Point Endpoint Remote Access VPN for macOS and Windows are reliable solutions for remote access VPN, and fully compatible with the Check Point security ecosystem."

"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 initial setup of Check Point Remote Access VPN is simple."

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

"It is easy to install the Endpoint Remote Access VPN client to different platforms."

More Check Point Remote Access VPN pros

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

"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."

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

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

"The solution is very fast."

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

"The initial setup is simple."

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

More Splashtop Remote Support pros

Cons

"The technical support by Microsoft is not so good. We have to manage many things by ourselves and do not receive responses in a timely manner."

"It would be better if Microsoft can reduce the cost of the license, as we know the Intune device subscription is licensed per device at a cost of $2 a month, but for the best enhanced security and features we must add an add-on license or buy or upgrade to a bundling license such as M365E5."

"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."

"Microsoft needs to enhance device-level security, as sometimes when using Microsoft Intune, the device's operating system becomes stuck and requires a full uninstall to remove the Intune bug."

"Microsoft Intune lacks the ability to provide seamless remote assistance or remote control."

"However, there are some areas that need improvement, such as the troubleshooting part, which could be simpler."

"The main differences between Intune and other products are, like I mentioned, in terms of the Mac. If the customers are majorly moving and adopting Mac laptops while they are using the Intune, they are leaving for other platforms, like Workspace ONE and vMOX."

"Intune could add more features that are relevant to the core application control functions. For example, it would be helpful if it had more control over the on-prem environment from the cloud platform. Greater Teams availability in the Saudi market would also be helpful."

More Microsoft Intune cons

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

"There were some issues with automation and instability."

"Sometimes it causes the consumption of machine resources, and also improves the scanning since they consume many resources in the clients' machines."

"The SSL VPN needs a Java applet to be installed and it is also dependent on the latest version of Java."

"There are some issues with the Check Point VPN, such as its complexity compared to other VPN clients."

"Check Point Remote Access VPN could be improved in that the initial setup and configuration could be simplified for new users."

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

"I would like to see features added to Check Point Remote Access VPN that allow for easier authentication with MFA, and I also want to see a chatbot, an AI chatbot that can help me and my colleagues with issues if they have some."

More Check Point Remote Access VPN cons

"The integration features could be better."

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

"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."

"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."

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."

"Existing E5 license holders for M365, Intune, and Azure, receive a free license."

"There is a license needed for this solution and it is either included in one of the enterprise license agreements. Microsoft licensing is a mathematical institute, it could be quite complex. We tend to ask specialized organizations to research what the most profitable way it would be for us to use licenses in the organizations."

"Microsoft Intune's costliness stems from licensing fees and the overhead associated with its management, user experience, and device remediation."

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

"Our Office 365 Business Premium license, including Office 365 and Intune Management, offers excellent value."

"It is reasonable for the features it has."

"Microsoft Intune is not cost-effective as a standalone product."

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."

"The price of this product is good."

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

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

"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."

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

More Check Point Remote Access VPN pricing and cost advice

"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."

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