It doesn't allow you to activate some of the applications until your mobile is malware free. That way we come to know that the device secure and only then do we deploy the business application.

The easy deployment is the key for us. I can simply send a link through email to a user, then they install the software and are protected.

The usability is the most valuable feature. It's really easy to use. It's a durable solution. I don't have any breaches. It is a good solution from that angle.

The anti-phishing and scanning of SMS are the most valuable aspects of the solution. Sometimes we will get some SMS and they will try to redirect you to malicious links. If you have SandBlast Mobile, it helps you prevent clicking on those malicious links.

I really like the application scanning portion where it scans your current applications and any new applications that you add to the device to let you know if it is malicious.

It monitors all the URLs that a user goes to on their phone and so we can see what they're looking at and we can limit that. Certain topics are not allowed to be accessed. They're monitoring their apps and they rate them based upon how big of a security risk that individual app is based on their ratings. And so we're able to limit those as well and allow people to have some that may be a low risk, but still a risk, but we may allow that for our users whereas we block medium and high risk.

First, the granular visibility of apps & traffic which we get through Check Point SandBlast Mobile are good. We can see each & every installed app & information for each app about severity & risk.

It does the process in the background and it does a wonderful job but the methodologies don't pop up. They should make it more interactive.

I would like to see more visibility into the actual devices that it's protecting. In some cases, you don't want to see a lot. However, for our purposes, I would like to see more information about the applications which are installed, then have more control over what can and what cannot be installed.

The interface could be more user-friendly. They should improve the look and feel.

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.

In terms of what needs improvement, the web interface should be simplified. It should be more user-friendly. It's too technical.

In the next release, I would like to see a Wi-Fi scanner to be able to identify whether a wireless network is malicious before you join it.

Integration needs improvement. We use Check Point for email. We use Check Point Capsule Workspace and I wish that it tied into that better and was integrated with their email application so that when it's secure, then they're able to access their email and it could be deployed as one group instead of two separate applications. It's a little bit more work for us to deploy both of those so it'd be nice if they could be integrated.

Also, we found configuring device groups & mapping a policy is quite confusing. There should be a simpler interface.

I think that the pricing for the Check Point products should be reconsidered, as we found it to be quite expensive to purchase and to maintain.

The feature set between the Android and Apple devices is not fully equal.
