Find out what your peers are saying about Check Point Software Technologies, Lookout, Zimperium and others in Mobile Threat Defense."We have had a lot fewer attacks thanks to this solution."
"You can block infected devices from accessing corporate data."
"The product's VPN solution is super efficient, and our clients highly value ransomware protection on mobile. These two features are probably the most valuable aspects of this product. Check Point Harmony Mobile responds very fast to any cybersecurity attack. With that product, your mobile response is super fast."
"The ease of use, along with comprehensive protection for all devices, is a key advantage. It provides visibility into malicious applications installed on the phone."
"The solution is very user-friendly."
"We like Harmony's ability to encrypt transactions between mobile devices. All the user's transactions are encrypted. That's an excellent feature. We can detect, quarantine, and address any issues in the handset itself."
"It also enables us to see where privacy is a concern, apps that are leaking privacy. Having an idea as to how these apps are being protected offers some level of security to the device and back into our corporate network."
"We like the URL content filtering, that is one of the most valuable features."
"The implementation phase of IBM MaaS360 was pretty easy."
"Maas360 uses distribution groups to deploy apps, which makes it a bit easier than, for example, Intune."
"MaaS can force people to lock their phones. Not everyone likes having a PIN and other security features on their phones, but this sets a requirement that you can't get your emails unless you have a PIN on your phone. That was a good feature, and we were able to easily increase the PIN from four digits to six digits. Overall, it was pretty user-friendly."
"Using this solution has made things more convenient. Earlier, we had to depend a lot more on IT to find and resolve our issues."
"The most valuable feature is the fact that we can find a lost device or shut the device down and wipe it is good for HIPAA."
"It is a stable solution."
"Mobile Device Management, Secure Productivity Suite, and document management are valuable features."
"The solution is quite stable."
"The product does not provide deep capabilities for sharing specific data to users or groups separately, nor does it provide visibility as to whether a user has access to the data or not."
"Some areas that could be improved with Check Point Harmony Mobile include embedding SD-WAN in mobile device products. Our clients are interested in this feature, so it could be a good idea if Check Point Harmony Mobile includes it in the mobile product."
"For SandBlast Mobile, the only thing that is lacking is that it wasn't available for all types of users. However, Check Point has since fixed this, with ZoneAlarm."
"The only language that is available is English."
"At times, when configuring policies, the tool takes some time to apply the policy."
"We know that for many companies, the management and administration of device and data security have been complex."
"The admin portal is slightly clunky and sometimes shows a different status than what the device is actually doing."
"There are certain shortcomings in the integration capabilities that a product offers."
"IBM MaaS360 needs to have stronger points when it comes to the area of BYOD."
"We opted to go with Microsoft Intune because it just seemed to be a more mature and comprehensive enterprise solution, whereas IBM MaaS360 didn't seem to have the necessary breadth to manage all of our equipment. Along with laptops, I've had some BYODs. IBM MaaS360 just didn't seem as mature in our assessment."
"IBM MaaS360 can improve the information provided for DLP control. Some of our customers would benefit from this."
"The look needs to be updated and it could be simpler to use."
"Its integration with Microsoft Teams could be better."
"Can be added process of export/import environment configuration to simplify any migration processes."
"Configuring policies is difficult in IBM MaaS360. It also needs to improve usability."
"Zero day support is something they can work on. They can make it a little bit more user-friendly."
