For regular users, Check Point firewalls are easier to configure compared to Palo Alto's. In terms of detection rates and performance, both Check Point and Palo Alto are very good. I'd rate the solution eight out of ten.

During COVID-19, we needed a VPN solution for a specific team that had to use special equipment in the office. We couldn't install this equipment on laptops for home use. The tool helped us deploy a VPN solution in less than 30 days, including project costs and gathering facts. Their support was amazing, especially the R&D team. We worked with someone with experience with similar solutions for other clients, which made it easier. The VPN is still being used, and it's robust. We mainly implemented the Check Point Remote Access VPN to support our team during the COVID-19 peak. Some employees needed specific equipment that couldn't be installed on laptops at home. The solution allowed us to set up a similar setup to the office for these users so that they could support our clients during COVID-19. My advice for those considering Check Point Remote Access VPN is that if you're familiar with one solution, the deployment and configuration process is identical for others. There's no learning curve. Just understand your use cases, enable the needed features, and you're ready. I rate the overall solution a ten out of ten.
I rate the overall product a nine out of ten. It is mostly for enterprise customers. It is the market leader, and you can trust it blindly. I recommend the solution to many customers, including small and medium-sized businesses. I trust Check Point products because they are market leaders in firewall and VPN solutions.

The reason I started to use Check Point Remote Access VPN is because it is preferred by the organization where I currently work. The solution needs maintenance. There is a need to update the policy rules and ensure that the firmware is kept up-to-date. I request the potential users of the product to invest time in going through the knowledge-based articles since they have a plethora of information. I rate the overall tool a nine out of ten.

Our previous company used this product because it's an excellent solution in the cybersecurity community. It was particularly important in Peru, where we had a strong presence in major companies. We selected the solution and used it for approximately ten years. Even after I left the company, they continued using it because of its importance in Peru and its presence in significant companies. Fortinet may have gained more presence in recent years than Check Point Remote Access VPN, likely due to its lower cost. However, during my time at the company, we continued to use it. The company may consider migrating to other solutions primarily for cost reasons, as Fortinet is cheaper. However, this decision might not be based on technical superiority but on price considerations. I rate the product a ten out of ten. You can use it if you can afford the pricing.

I recommend the solution to every vendor with Check Point as a firewall because it has great stability and security. We can terminate our VPN services to the same box if we're already using Check Point VPN. Overall, I rate the product a nine out of ten.

If you work with Check Point in your native areas, there may be some problems. Check Point has always been a first in this area but is struggling to improve its product. While they are making improvements, the product’s stability is decreasing. Therefore, users should be aware of potential solution delays if they experience problems. If you create the environment without overuse, users will not experience any problems. Overall, I rate the solution a seven out of ten.

I rate Check Point Remote Access VPN eight out of 10. Aside from our current performance issues, it was smooth and flawless. I'm still shopping around. I was content with Check Point, but I want to see what's out there. I'm interested in knowing more about other available solutions. My primary goal is to avoid going through this process again two years from now. I'm hoping the next product will be a long-term solution, and it will be a while before we consider upgrading to something different.

We are in the business of selling firewalls. We're resellers and Check Point partners. I personally have sold just the Check Point solution to only one customer. We are also selling data storage solutions, data backup, and cyber security solutions. We are dealing with the latest version of the solution. The solution is available both on-premises and in the cloud. I'd rate the solution nine out of ten. I'd recommend it to other users and companies.
I'd advise others to try the solution today itself and experience the utilities on their own. I am sure, they will love the product offerings and utilities to the greatest extent possible
One of the main aspects of importance in a company is the security of the computer platforms. When making an investment with these tools you are taking care of an important patrimony that will double your profits.

Check Point products are typically not cheap, however, I've found it's often due to the fact that you can do a lot with it. I recommend Check Point products to anyone who is going to have the time and expertise to administer them. You're going to be able to do what you want to do, engineer a design that works for you. If you want to just plug it in and forget about it, then this might not be the product for you. That said, for those who do just want to plug something in and forget about it, I warn you to be cautious. When it comes to Remote Access, you don't want to ignore this. You want to be looking at it and you want to monitor it, otherwise attackers will take advantage of that weakness. This is where Check Point allows you to monitor the edge, while granularly controlling it.

I suggest that if you want to implement this Check Point solution you should have good knowledge of the system as well as a system integrator or direct contacts in Check Point. In case of any issue, the support is poor and it's not easy to solve issues using technical support.
We are customers and end-users. We don't have a business relationship with the company. I'd advise new users that, when it comes to deploying with an authentication provider, I would advise that you use a Microsoft authenticator. We tried using their authenticator at first, but that is not good. That did not work. I'd rate the solution at an eight out of ten.

Traditional VPNs that work on L3 or L4, with a single VPN tunnel, are typically hosted on-premises. As organizations are adopting cloud computing, it makes sense to have a VPN solution hosted on the cloud for better control and security.
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.

We currently only use the on-premises deployment model, although we may extend into the cloud in the future. We're aware of the cloud's capabilities, but we're not using it because we don't have a large infrastructure expression there. In terms of advice, I'd suggest that others implementing the solution make sure training happens on their teams. Most products can have lots of features, but if you do not have proper knowledge, you will not be able to make use of those features. I'm very satisfied with this solution; I'd rate it eight out of ten.
We are using the on-premises deployment model. Checkpoint is very strong and very reliable. I would advise that those considering implementing the product go to a Checkpoint training session before implementing the solution. It's good to be familiar with the product beforehand. I'd rate the solution ten out of ten.
