Check Point Harmony Mobile Reviews

We used the solution to provide mobile threat defense for mobile devices (predominantly Apple iPhone/iPad). We evaluated numerous solutions from competitors including IBM, Better Mobile, Trend Micro, and others. Check Point is attractive since they are a market-leading firewall vendor and therefore we trust their filtering in terms of web and link protection beyond others who may rely on smaller or third-party feeds. We also found that the breadth of protections including app analysis and WiFi spoofing validation were helpful.

The solution was easy to deploy and provided a useful security enhancement for mobile devices. It allowed us to extend filtering technologies that we would generally expect to be available within an edge firewall to mobile devices - such as web content filtering and URL protection. With the prevalence of mobile phishing (including SMS phish which circumvents email filters), we felt that this was a useful security layer. Check Point is also a provider that we felt we could trust when adding products to our security stack.

The integration with Microsoft Intune scoped to the security group made deployment a breeze. Certainly, once the initial configuration was in place the process was smooth and devices began to appear in the Check Point Harmony portal automatically. Adding web and link protection was considered to be a valuable security enhancement and is a key benefit of using mobile threat defense. The fact that the product can also highlight changes in public IP addresses for known corporate WiFi SSIDs also helps to alert or prevent spoofing of internal WiFi networks.

We had some issues with loopback VPN DNS filtering stopping working periodically, however, this is something that we could probably iron out with support. In the end, we ended up disabling this feature and using Umbrella (which we also use). It is of course highly possible that we could have addressed this with their support team but in our scenario, it was easier to disable the functionality and run with a separate product that we already had available. Certainly, everything else worked fine and the alerts were very useful.

I first used the solution several years ago.

We had no stability issues with the solution save for the periodic VPN loopback internet outages with iOS agents that I'm sure could be resolved with support.

We don't foresee any obvious limits with the scalability of the solution for all but the largest of organizations.

Support engineers were friendly and communicable.

Positive

We had previously trialed better mobile but the minimum onboarding/barrier of entry costs were too steep. We are also more familiar with the Check Point brand. We've also used Trend Micro before yet found the feature set for iOS devices to be slim.

The solution has a straightforward setup - especially with Intune integration.

We did an in-house implementation.

ROI is impossible to compute.

Setup and recurring costs seemed reasonable and in line with other Check Point products.

We did evaluate IBM, Trend Micro, Better Mobile, and others.

Our primary use case for the product is to secure corporate mobile devices, particularly those containing critical information or used by VIPs within our organization.

The platform's app scanning feature is valuable as it checks app reliability and identifies potential security risks, which is crucial for maintaining secure mobile environments.

The solution's false positive detection could be improved to reduce unnecessary alerts, the app's performance optimized to minimize device impact, and policy management simplified for easier deployment.

I have been using Check Point Harmony Mobile for approximately one and a half years.

The platform is scalable for larger organizations, but customization complexities in policy management can make deployment more challenging for extensive device quantity.

We used other security solutions previously but switched to Check Point Harmony Mobile due to its comprehensive feature set and reputation for effective mobile security.

The setup was relatively straightforward but could be challenging for less technically inclined users due to policy customization requirements.

We implemented the product with the help of our internal team, leveraging our cybersecurity and mobile device management expertise.

The improved security and reduced maintenance overhead contribute to a positive return on investment for our organization.

The product pricing is reasonable for the security it provides. 

We evaluated several alternatives, including SentinelOne and CrowdStrike, but ultimately chose Harmony Mobile for its robust security features and ease of deployment.

The product's deployment is easy. You only deploy the tool on the mobile device for the client or customer who wants to use it.

When I purchased the product for one of our company's clients, I realized that the price of the product was competitive.

I need to check with the clients in the industry who use Check Point Harmony Mobile and integrate it with other mobile management solutions. I simply managed the product and used it to protect and ensure that scanning processes were in progress while also checking the branch office security, reviewing CVEs, checking the implementation and interventions with the tool. The product offers ease of blocking. The solution also offers integration with Samsung, Microsoft, BlackBerry, and other solutions. The solution can be used for mobile protection and to protect applications.

The product is user-friendly for its customers. The solution also offers complete protection and simple management. The tool provides its users with the capacity to prevent malicious activities and phishing threats while also checking the mobile for malware or any other attacks on the device.

The solution is easy to deploy and to check for attacks in mobile devices.

The product's ability to adapt and offer security against the evolving threat landscape is good because it is easy for a user since there is only one application that they need to use.

I rate the overall tool an eight out of ten.

I use the solution in my company so that whoever the mobile users are and those who use the corporate applications, we can secure communication from the corporate application to the outside network. My company uses Check Point Harmony Mobile through the browser to secure our applications, as well as to secure the communication between customers and other users.

The most effective features of the product stem from its ability to deal with areas like data security and application security while also being useful to users who use mobiles in roaming mode and those who use a personal mobile phone with corporate applications in it.

At times, when configuring policies, the tool takes some time to apply the policy. If I configure a new policy and apply it to the management console, it may take time. The product should work on policy enforcement so that users can quickly enforce the policies within a fraction of a second.

I have been using Check Point Harmony Mobile for three years.

Stability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten. Some customers of the tool face some issues in their environment with respect to policy enforcement.

It is a very easily scalable solution. 

My company deals with a very limited set of customers of the product. The tool's competitors have been very aggressive with the mobile browser part, especially the ones offering MDM solutions. Those who use firewall products from Check Point are very happy to acquire and use Check Point Harmony Mobile.

As and when required, the solution's technical support helps users with troubleshooting. The solution's technical support is good, and it responds quickly.

The product's initial setup phase is very straightforward.

For the product's deployment phase, you just need to install the agent to the end user and configure the policy on the cloud management console.

The solution's deployment phase is a one-day task.

In terms of ROI, the product helps secure your application, mobile, and data.

There is a need to make yearly payments towards the licensing costs attached to the product. You can opt for a one-year, three-year, or five-year license. There is a separate team that handles the pricing part of the product, and depending on the customers or order quantity they handle, I believe that 60 or 70 percent discounts on the prices are offered. There are no additional costs attached to the product.

The tool helped prevent potential security threats whenever some users communicate from their mobile with someone outside our company since, at such a time, the product secures the communication as well as the data. With the tool, no confidential data goes outside from the inside of our company. Our company can block data leakage from mobile phones to the outside environment of our organization.

The threat detection and response capabilities of the tool benefit the company in scenarios where a user wants to send out some confidential data outside the company through the browser, which would not be possible If the organization uses Check Point Harmony Mobile. The tool shows how our company can secure the user, as well as how we can prevent data leakage from the inside to the outside of the organization.

The product provides users with ease of management. It is a simple tool that allows users to configure some of the policies for a user or a user-based group and apply them to the solution.

According to Gartner's website, the tool's stability and support as a security provider places it in the leader category.

The tool helps respond to emerging corporate threats, especially those who use corporate applications on their personal devices. If you want to secure your corporate applications, you have to adopt Check Point Harmony Mobile.

If you use corporate applications on your personal mobile device and you want to secure your applications and data, then you have to use Check Point Harmony Mobile.

I rate the tool a nine out of ten.

One of the main reasons why the implementation of Check Point Harmony Mobile was chosen was due to the fact that we needed a tool that had control and monitoring over mobile devices. Harmony Mobile provided us with that functionality. In this way, we were able to close a security gap that was affecting our organization. 

With this solution, users could connect to the organization and access the corporate data and thus comply with a more secure standard. 

Each mobile has applied policies through the Harmony Mobile panel and control the access

One of the great improvements that Harmony Mobile gave us is that it was possible to protect the mobile devices of each one of the users and thus not depend on the users to implement adequate security themselves. With a simple mistake or moment of carelessness, a user can accidentally cause great damage to sensitive company information.

With Harmony Mobile, users do not worry. It transmits all the security to this tool. Currently, with what has been happening in the world with Covid, many workers are working from home and with this solution, we can limit third-party access to devices.

It's important for it to have the main functions of Mobile Device Management (MDM), such as task automation, automatic application updates, they should also improve compatibility with other mobile device management (MDM) products on the market, ensuring correct operation between SandBlast Mobile and MDM. It's important for Point Harmony Mobile to be included in a broader offering so that it is not just a standalone product.

Harmony Mobile introduces many innovative features. One of them is URL filtering, which is very valuable in this tool. It offers to filter apps, protect privacy, and reject malicious or unauthorized downloads. It allows us to get an idea of how it protects the application through certain security levels that are threats, network applications and devices. Its administration and configuration is very simple. It is easy to use with its friendly interface, the solutions helped a lot to the security of the company.

Harmony Mobile is one of the first tools that we implemented in the organization when we entered into the protection of mobile devices. For many years all our staff did not have any restrictions on mobile devices. 

An improvement would be the compatibility of linking local and cloud solutions to create a hybrid scenario. They should allow adding a SIEM for additional functions. That said, in relation to the characteristics that it currently presents, it satisfactorily complies with the security of mobile devices.

One of the improvements that can be made is that they become compatible with Google MDM. 

When it comes to scanning the network, sometimes my SSI ID does not appear; it would also be a great plus if they could make a unified console where you can manage several Check Point products and thus not be opening different consoles to manage different products.

I have been using about three years.

The stability of the product is very good and it generates an excellent amount of monitoring reports.

It is a very scalable tool.

With the support, we have had good and bad experiences. Sometimes they take time to respond. Sometimes they give an accurate solution to the error presented.

Positive

A mobile device solution had not previously been implemented.

One of the parts that worried us was its configuration and administration, however, it was extremely simple.

The installation was done with a seller who demonstrated his ability and handling of the tool.

The investment made with this tool is very good. The information will be guaranteed, therefore, every penny invested is a good investment.

The cost is affordable. It competes with other technologies and the installation is easy to implement.

We have not opted for other technologies since we have implemented the Check Point line into our company.

It is a good tool that can be implemented in the organization and be sure that it will protect your mobile devices.

We require a tool that could control and monitor mobile devices, which was one of the primary factors in our decision to adopt Check Point Harmony Mobile. With this tool, we had that capability. We were able to shut down a security hole that was harming our company. The user can connect to the company and access corporate data via this technology, enabling them to adhere to a more secure standard. With the help of the Harmony Mobile panel, each mobile has implemented policies that govern access. It is used by us to control mobile connections. It is a cloud-based solution that is installed on Check Point's cloud.

Prior to having this solution, our users were vulnerable to infections of any kind on tablets and mobile devices used for business. We have reduced these dangers by utilizing Harmony Mobile's security, which helps both the user and the administrator. With the help of Check Point Harmony, mobile users also have the same level of protection as the business's computers and laptops do and users are also secure to use on both iOS and Android. Observe Point Mobile devices used by employees are protected from dangerous software and attacks on their network or operating system.

Check Point's Sandblast Mobile solution integrates with Mobile Device Management and supports Android and iOS operating systems. Two profiles are created for each mobile device when it is configured. There are two types of profiles - personal and professional - and various security guidelines can be applied to each. 

Real-time scanning is only one of the amazing capabilities offered by this tool. 

The simple navigation offered by the graphical user interface is excellent. 

We value the centralization it brings about.

The tool is excellent for security purposes, and it gives a lot of information. That said, there needs to be some improvement in everything related to administration and assistance. 

The ability to integrate local and cloud technologies to create a hybrid scenario would be an upgrade. 

Making this tool compatible with Google MDM is one of the enhancements that must be made. 

The increased load on an outdated terminal, which slows them down, is another item to consider. 

It would be preferable if they could incorporate application vulnerability management.

Mobile device security is a top concern for our company today - and for good reason. In the new normal, remote workers increasingly access corporate data from their mobile devices, which means the company is more exposed to data breaches than ever before.

This product keeps corporate information safe by protecting employee mobile devices from all areas of attack: applications, networks, and operating systems. Check Point Harmony Mobile has enabled easy-to-manage, scalable security for any mobility management team.

Our companies have seen the need to give their collaborators the flexibility to work remotely yet the number of cyberattacks has increased in recent years due to the complexity of the administration and visibility of cross-device risks for security managers. This is where Check Point Harmony Mobile is supporting us very closely. With this solution, it is immediately securing the equipment that is connected outside of our organization and thus protects the equipment and data.

Check Point Harmony offers an almost intuitive implementation. The use and management of our portal is easy. It is integrating six security products in a unified way to protect all users, connections, devices, and access. Users get protection regardless of where they are, applications they access, or any device they use. Users face endless cyber threats such as malware, phishing, malicious emails, or ransomware zero-day attacks. In addition to detecting unauthorized use of SaaS applications and preventing data leakage, we get instant threat visibility.

Having a unified solution developed by one of the most reliable brands in the market gives our organization the peace of mind that data is safe anytime, anywhere. 

We know that for many companies, the management and administration of device and data security have been complex. However, Check Point Harmony Mobile solves and supports is in all this with solutions made for this need. At the moment, I would not change anything; from my perspective, it is complete.

Something that could be improved is the compatibility with older versions. In distribution centers where Android devices with version 4.4.0 used, the solution gives many errors. In newer versions, the tool complies with its proper functioning.

I've used the solution for one year.

With the support teams, it is a bit complex due to the absence of support in Spanish. Also, the guides that the support service provides us in many cases are complex and make it difficult to solve problems.

Positive

Harmony is not only great security for devices, it is a great analytics network that protects us from various attacks and that you can try with a simple and easy-to-configure agent on mobile devices.
