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.
Gfrancis Francis - PeerSpot reviewer
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.
David Fitzerman - PeerSpot reviewer
Chief Alchemist/ VP at DFC BBQ
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 Mobile Device Management in Intune is a valuable feature."
"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."
"The pricing for Microsoft Intune is reasonable and our clients are satisfied."
"Its most valuable aspect is it is very connected with the Microsoft ecosystem."
"The stability of Microsoft Intune is good."
"Microsoft Intune brings all our endpoint and security management tools into one place, acting as a comprehensive solution where we can manage numerous devices and configuration profiles, and block specific URLs, among many other capabilities."
"The honest truth is that Microsoft Intune is the future."
"What I like most about Microsoft Intune is that it's agile and easy to deploy, and it covers the maximum number of policies."
"I found the MEP feature the most valuable. This has improved users' latency allowing the users to connect to the nearest Azure Check Point VM."
"The clients of the customers have a facility to access the enterprise network."
"The best feature of Check Point Remote Access VPN is the control during the connectivity—whenever I connect to my organization's network, my PC is always connected to the private network, even whenever I connect to the internet."
"Currently, Check Point is an ally that we have used within our organization to protect the perimeter area, the equipment, and other technologies."
"The most valuable feature of Check Point Remote Access VPN is its ability to deploy. It follows the same process as their stateful inspection firewall or IPS. If you know how to enable one feature, you can enable and configure others. The learning curve isn't steep."
"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."
"The solution has been solid for me for over five years."
"Check Point Remote Access VPN has positively impacted my organization by making remote work much smoother because people can connect securely from anywhere, and we've had fewer access issues during busy periods."
"The file transfers work well, the remote support and hosted solution work well."
"The tool's most valuable features are pricing and easy management."
"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 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."
"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 initial setup is simple."
 

Cons

"Intune should improve its software inventory to provide better metering of which software is used throughout the company. This is especially needed for reporting third-party software solutions."
"If you wish to block any App Store application, there is no way to do so."
"More integration with monitoring tools is needed."
"If we can not seem to get even half a dozen users working with the product in a way we consider stable, the scalability is in question."
"We need the capabilities of the Cloud Management Gateway (CMG) to be enhanced through Intune instead of Azure."
"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."
"The time we have to wait to deploy policies has room for improvement."
"Regarding mobile devices, Intune is good, but there are other services that I would say are ahead of Intune from an administration and reporting point of view."
"Generally, the license is included with the Check Point gateway licensing, however, in terms of the number of users that can be activated for use, it is generally five users."
"Improved scalability would allow the solution to handle larger numbers of users and devices without a significant impact on performance."
"The ability to allow split-tunneling while still following our corporate policy needs to be on the table."
"The maximum it is giving us is only 5 licenses and if you need more, they must be purchased separately."
"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."
"For Linux machines, they don't have a full client to install."
"We'd like to integrate Check Point into the Remote Access VPN solution and have the ability to integrate multiple devices as access points through the solution."
"Bug Fixes and enhancement requests should be remediated earlier."
"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 integration features could be better."
"Splashtop Remote Support needs to improve customization."
"The integration features could be better."
"The solution should be able to make an inventory of computers automatically."
"I'm not sure if I can recommend the solution as I'm not sure if it's a fit for me."
"The packages that Splashtop has tend to be a little bit confusing and should be simplified."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I rate Intune an eight out of ten for affordability. It's bundled with the 365 licensing, which is competitive overall."
"The price of Microsoft Intune is reasonable."
"It's a part of Microsoft 365 and E5 licenses. Microsoft's strategy of making every feature in Microsoft Intune paid needs optimization. Remote control is one of the basic features, not a luxury feature, yet we must pay for it. I"
"The product is expensive."
"The licensing is on a yearly basis."
"It's affordable. It's cheaper if you have an Office 365, E5, or E3 subscription because everything is there."
"Intune is cost-effective as it is included in some of the Office 365 packages."
"We use Defender ATP and E5 licenses."
"I can say that the licensing costs are charged annually."
"There is a license required for this solution."
"I give the price of the solution a five out of ten."
"Check Point Remote Access VPN is not expensive and the cost is annual."
"The solution is pretty expensive. The rating is an eight."
"Organizations that already have the Check Point NGFW need to purchase an additional license to have access to the VPN functionality."
"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."
"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 the solution is mid-ranged, although it is more cost effective than that of TeamViewer."
"The licensing fees are less than $400 per year."
"Splashtop Remote Support is not too expensive. It costs around 800 euros per year."
