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.

Technique at Digitaltrack
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 ability to switch between Affinity and non-Affinity enrollment is great."
"Microsoft Intune is a must and should be needed for this time, for this hybrid model period, and I highly recommend this product for employees, education institutions, or device management."
"First of all, the integration with the rest of Microsoft's products is a major win."
"The user experience of Microsoft Intune is quite good because there's not much disturbance in the background; it's just running in the background."
"We are able to deliver applications fast to our mobile workloads so that users can make use of it instantly."
"What I appreciate about Microsoft Intune is that it is easy for me to deploy software to an environment with 600 laptops."
"Once it is well integrated with the rest of the environment, it makes everything easy."
"It meets the basic security needs and management needs for most organizations."
"The security and reliability we are receiving are exceptional."
"This solution allows users to connect from any location, is very flexible, lets us easily control access and view usage statistics, and we are happy with the overall stability, easy configuration on the gateway side, and ease of deploying clients to endstations."
"It allows everyone to work from home, and if no one could work from home, then we wouldn't have a company, especially now during COVID-19."
"The solution offers high scalability as far as adding more users."
"A clear example of the positive impact this license has had in my organization was back in 2020, as the software was in use since before the pandemic hit so our personnel was familiarized with the product and the transition was smooth and secure from the office to work from home."
"We use it to connect our sites. We have a couple of sites that need to interconnect."
"The solution is easy for administrators because you can check logs and write rules on the same page."
"The advanced malware protection and the sandboxing features are very valuable as they perform well, with detection being very high."
"With the extended license, it's easy to be remote."
"In contrast, Splashtop is a really good product and it's not so expensive."
"The initial setup is simple."
"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."
"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 solution is very fast."
"The file transfers work well, the remote support and hosted solution work well."
 

Cons

"Microsoft Intune can be improved with faster policy synchronization, more intuitive troubleshooting tools, enhanced reporting and analytics, and simplified management for complex and hybrid environments, along with better third-party integration support and more granular administrative controls for enterprise-scale deployments."
"Intune should be much more granular in terms of supporting more Android cellular devices."
"There could be some kind of feature that supports a workgroup environment or a separate environment without the Entra ID."
"We would like to see the ability to use multiple personas on a device, similar to Samsung Knox, included in future updates."
"The installation could be improved to be simplified."
"Microsoft Intune could be improved in several areas."
"Microsoft Intune can be improved with a more intuitive admin interface, faster policy synchronization, better troubleshooting and reporting capabilities, especially for complex and hybrid environments, along with more granular control and simplified management for advanced configurations."
"Reporting and troubleshooting for the application deployment could be better. It's very difficult to understand."
"We would like to see support for a layer seven VPN over UDP.-- currently some VPN solution are working on Layer 7 Platform."
"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 Compliance software blade is available only for the Windows operating systems family, so no macOS security checks are implemented and performed."
"Everything functions perfectly with Check Point Remote Access VPN based on my knowledge, but the KB documents for configuration are limited and could be improved."
"For Linux machines, they don't have a full client to install. For the users that utilize Linux, there needs to be an equivalent."
"Sometimes it causes the consumption of machine resources, and also improves the scanning since they consume many resources in the clients' machines."
"Check Point Remote Access VPN can be improved by having more granular options to steer traffic, like easier configurations for split tunneling, which is currently complex."
"Some configurations, like idle timeout (the requirement came from multiple users), are not possible to configure directly from the Check Point management server."
"The packages that Splashtop has, tend to be a little bit confusing and should be simplified."
"The integration features could be better."
"The solution should add more options and tools for shortcuts, administration, etc."
"I'm not sure if I can recommend the solution as I'm not sure if it's a fit for me."
"Splashtop Remote Support needs to improve customization."
"The phone's a little tricky to work with due to the small screen."
"The solution should be able to make an inventory of computers automatically."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"If you ask the accountant or the finance department, they'll tell you that it is way too expensive, but when I look at the cost and compare it with the value you actually get, it's more than fair."
"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."
"The product is offered as part of a Microsoft standard bundle. The pricing can be competitive to Airwatch, and Maas360."
"I don't have any problem as far as cost is concerned. It is bundled with our license."
"Intune comes with the licensing that is common for large organizations. However, Microsoft has recently released many add-ons that are very expensive, especially for large organizations or corporations."
"The Intune license model is costly."
"Even if they charge a premium, they aim to provide equal value."
"If you're subscribing to Premium or E3, there are no additional costs for Intune, it's included."
"Organizations that already have the Check Point NGFW need to purchase an additional license to have access to the VPN functionality."
"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."
"I can say that the licensing costs are charged annually."
"There is a license required for this solution."
"The solution is pretty expensive. The rating is an eight."
"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."
"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."
