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.

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.

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

"The best feature is that we don't need to worry about downtime. We don't need to worry about the network connections of our office or the virtual private network. Everything is being done through the internet. Using Intune Autopilot, we can configure and deploy everything to the devices."

"Implementing Microsoft Intune is easy."

"The ability to send configurations to our systems is valuable, particularly as we don't have a regular Windows AD server. Our current environment doesn't have a Windows AD, which limits our ability to push GPOs. However, this is where the solution can step in and help us push policies."

"Microsoft Endpoint Manager is not expensive overall, especially for small environments."

"The policy and compliance monitoring of devices and the software deployment are most valuable."

"The best features of Microsoft Intune include helping to know if computers are configured correctly and if users have access to apps or the platform."

"Before having Intune, we didn't have the capability to have computers wiped, couldn't manage the operating system from a central location, and weren't able to deploy policies and verify software updates, and it's helped with software update needs, operating system version update needs, and security policy enforcement."

"I can reach devices or computers over the internet. I don't need to worry about the network connectivity between the offices. I can manage any device. That is the most important part."

More Microsoft Intune pros

"The solution is easy to install, centrally managed, and stable, with good technical support and a straightforward setup."

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

"The solution is easy for administrators because you can check logs and write rules on the same page."

"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."

"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."

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

"This solution allowed our employees to log in from anywhere at any time, have the same experience that they had in the office, and access all the resources that were necessary for their work."

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

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."

"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 initial setup is simple."

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

"The solution is very fast."

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

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

More Splashtop Remote Support pros

Cons

"In my opinion, Microsoft Intune has room for improvement. The pricing could be a little better, and the reporting could be a little better as well."

"A more incisive reporting tool with automated progress updates and graphical representation would be beneficial, as the current manual method lacks efficiency and visual clarity."

"Intune's reporting and logging could be improved. When troubleshooting, it's difficult to collect the logs and determine what's happening. If I want to filter out the compliant devices, I can see it from the logs, but I would like the option to drill down further."

"There are challenges with Intune, specifically in reporting. Many third-party companies offer single-pane-of-glass reporting that shows you what your update environment looks like, how your patch is doing, application status, etc., but Intune's reporting is not intuitive. You can connect to Azure, monitoring, and the workbooks, but it's not streamlined."

"If you could replace SCCM completely with Intune, that would be fantastic so that you don't have to run SCCM with Intune as an extension."

"Intune has some limitations when it comes to application updates for third-party applications. You can schedule an update, but when it's a package setup, you need to supercede and replace it each time."

"Intune's server management could be better. If it could incorporate more features from System Center into Intune's Configuration Manager, it would be beneficial."

"Due to the abundance of features, there's a lot to organize, which makes managing and setting up the solution challenging. The setup is immense, and it would be good to see improvement in this area."

More Microsoft Intune cons

"The connection has gotten less smooth as the number of users increases. The issue is that the logs fill up quickly. Too many users are connecting remotely. It worked great when we only had a few remote connections. Now, it is disconnecting people and dropping the internet connection."

"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."

"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."

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

"The remote workers were experiencing issues like disconections, no IP avaliables from the DHCP, or unable to connect because the server didnt responde to a ping, however this issue was fix after we instlalled the JHF 125 on each gateway and after the upgrade, everythig has been working OK, but before that Check Point didn´t have a fix for that manner."

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

"The authentication that we handle is through a .p12 certificate, however, we have integrated it with a 2MFA service through another provider. Something that could improve Check Point is if it had its own 2MFA service through a blade or some sort of application."

"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

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

"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 integration features could be better."

"Splashtop Remote Support needs to improve customization."

"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."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"For Microsoft 365 E5 clients, cost is not an issue as this product is one of the benefits."

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

"There is a cost benefit of using Microsoft Intune because of the packaging with other Microsoft products."

"We use Defender ATP and E5 licenses."

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

"Microsoft's licensing is more flexible and adaptive than its competitors."

"There are licenses required for this solution. We enable licenses on the devices we need to manage."

"The tool is cheaper than our company's other MDM tools."

More Microsoft Intune pricing and cost advice

"There is a license required for this solution."

"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."

"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."

"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 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."

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

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."
