collaboration support engineer at a computer software company with 51-200 employees

Centralized device management has transformed security and streamlined remote provisioning

One area where Microsoft Intune can improve is the user interface. Sometimes the portal feels a bit complex and not very intuitive, especially for new users, and it can take time to find specific settings. Another point is troubleshooting. While logs are available, the diagnostic policies and sync issues can still be time-consuming and not very straightforward. I also feel that reporting could be more detailed and customizable. The built-in reports are helpful, but for deeper insights, I often need to rely on additional tools. Overall, it is a strong solution, but improving usability and troubleshooting experience would make it even better. While Microsoft Intune works very well within the Microsoft ecosystem, the integration of some third-party tools could be smoother and require less customization. Support is another area that could improve, as sometimes response times can be slow, and resolving complex issues may take longer than expected. In terms of features, I think more advanced automation and built-in remediation options would be helpful since common issues can be fixed automatically without manual intervention.

Vice President at Korchek Technologies

Has provided secure remote access for years but inconsistent support delays resolution

Regarding logging and management, while some of the logging is really good, other times it's not so great, and we've had to reach out to Check Point a few times for assistance, and the support we've gained hasn't been up to par with what Check Point usually offers as part of their support. When it comes to improvements, not specifically the remote access VPN, but the support associated with Check Point products has fallen over the last two years, and the response time is much worse, with the first layer of support lacking sufficient knowledge on how to troubleshoot issues.

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 feature that we can deploy policies and configuration settings and it will be applied to every user who is connected to it around the world just with an internet connection is very good."

"Its protection policies are most valuable. It protects mobile devices as well as individual apps. It is pretty scalable, and its documentation is also pretty good. It is also pretty straightforward to deploy."

"Intune is a good product for UEM, which is helpful for Windows 10 management."

"The solution is easy to use."

"I can control applications, and I can secure applications by using the MAM policy, which is very effective and very helpful in protecting our users' data on mobile devices such as iPhones and Android phones."

"The many policies available in Microsoft Intune for managing our devices are valuable."

"At the moment, Autopilot is the most valuable feature."

"Intune makes our organization more secure and flexible. We can onboard new employees faster and more securely. We are a governmental organization with strict regulations, and Intune helps us comply with those requirements."

More Microsoft Intune pros

"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."

"The solution offers great security features, including zero-day protection, malware protection, anti-phishing, et cetera."

"Checkpoint is very strong and very reliable."

"Check Point Remote Access VPN has positively impacted my organization by greatly increasing productivity because users are now working from anywhere, and even during leave, they can easily work at any time."

"The solution offers great security features, including zero-day protection, malware protection, anti-phishing, et cetera."

"The differentiator for this solution is the management interface that we find very good and provides a single view for all endpoints."

"Remote Access VPN is one of those essential items for every organization in order to maintain seamless and highly secured connectivity between the end-user and the organization's local area network to access resources - including Jump server Databases, et cetera."

"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."

More Check Point Remote Access VPN pros

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

"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 initial setup is simple."

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

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

"The solution is very fast."

"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."

More Splashtop Remote Support pros

Cons

"I heard some pain points. The main thing is the learning curve. It took time to implement. It was not the best product starting out of the gate."

"However, I dislike how it lags sometimes. I cannot work on multiple processes at the same time."

"Technical support can be challenging when resources shift, requiring repeated explanations. Support from India sometimes provides information without the right solution."

"The interoperability or communication with a different platform can be better. It is a two-way street. It is not only about Microsoft. The other platforms also have to be willing to share some information, but that absolutely can be improved."

"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."

"Reporting could be improved. It needs to be more expensive and robust."

"I've dealt with Microsoft way too many times, and needless to say, I'm not too fond of Microsoft support most of the time."

"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

"Sometimes, we have noticed that owing to installation of various antivirus and running of inbuilt firewalls, the connection for VPN sporadically drops and tries to reconnect."

"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."

"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."

"The documentation on how to integrate is out of date, not maintained, and not really supported from Check Point's side."

"Without a doubt and with the new trends in technology, Check Point should already have a blade with a 2MFA solution and not through some other vendor."

"One area that could be improved is the complexity of setting up Check Point Remote Access VPN, particularly with features like multi-factor authentication, single sign-on, and identity awareness. Deploying these solutions requires higher technical expertise than other solutions."

"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."

More Check Point Remote Access VPN cons

"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."

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

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

"Splashtop Remote Support needs to improve customization."

"The integration features could be better."

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

More Splashtop Remote Support cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I rate Intune five out of 10 for pricing. It's expensive."

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

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

"It's bundled with Business Premium and an E3 license, which is beneficial. If you have to pay extra, it's pricey, but with the bundled package, it's acceptable. They recently increased the Business Premium pricing, which we don't appreciate. The price increase and yearly commitment are causing some problems for us."

"I am satisfied with the pricing."

"We work with the subscription rather than a server license. I think it's economical this way because we don't have to have a server license for that, and I think that works in our favor."

"Every customer used to purchase licenses based on their needs."

"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."

More Microsoft Intune pricing and cost advice

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

"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."

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

"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."

"There is a license required for this solution."

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

"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."

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

"The price of the solution is mid-ranged, although it is more cost effective than that of TeamViewer."
