Check Point Harmony Mobile Reviews

My main use case for Check Point Harmony Mobile is to support some of our power users who, even with the security provided by their laptops, need to access their workspace using mobile phones.

The power users, mostly tech administrators, are accessing sensitive company data and web connections through mobile versions of VPN to log into devices and routers, allowing them to quickly check issues without needing laptops.

The best features Check Point Harmony Mobile offers us include comprehensive threat prevention, which stands out for our team because we often forget to monitor phone activity, leaving us vulnerable to rogue malware and connections to rogue Wi-Fi networks.

Check Point Harmony Mobile has positively impacted my organization by simplifying IT operations, allowing quick check-ins without needing laptops, which provides peace of mind, knowing it's safe.

While it's more about the convenience, the speed at which support tickets are resolved has improved, marking a noticeable tick in efficiency.

One area Check Point Harmony Mobile can improve is the cost for the solution itself, which I find a bit expensive, but other than that, most of it should be okay.

Cost is indeed the main thing I would like to add about the needed improvements.

I have been using Check Point Harmony Mobile for one year.

Check Point Harmony Mobile is stable.

The scalability of Check Point Harmony Mobile depends on the number of users that you have.

My experience with customer support was smooth when I had to reach out to them.

I did not previously use a different solution before Check Point Harmony Mobile.

I have seen a return on investment in the form of time saved, as incidents are now easier to check-in on quickly, leading to reduced time spent fixing issues.

My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing for Check Point Harmony Mobile was smooth.

I did not evaluate other options before choosing Check Point Harmony Mobile.

My advice for others looking into using Check Point Harmony Mobile is that if you're trying to secure a mobile workforce, this is definitely the solution for you, as Check Point is a trusted cybersecurity entity with feature-rich offerings. I rate Check Point Harmony Mobile 10 out of 10.

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.

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 product needs to improve its user awareness. 

I have been working with the product for 18 months. 

I rate Check Point Harmony Mobile a nine out of ten. 

I rate Check Point Harmony Mobile's deployment an eight out of ten. 

I rate the tool's pricing a three out of ten. 

I rate the overall solution an eight out of ten. 

We mainly use this solution to detect unwanted traffic or any applications which is installed from a reliable/unreliable source. However, when we install the solution, it begins to behave differently. This software is intelligent enough to understand the user interface and interact with it, determining whether it is doing good or asking for sensitive personal information. This capability must be present in any mobile security app.

It gives enough confidence when we review the logs after appropriately tuning the 'tunable' parameters and then put the device on raw internet traffic and revisit its behavior/events on log files generated. It helps us in graduating our best practices to a 'Leading Practice'. It helped us in conducting critical tests in conducting our job works on Cybersecurity.

If we revisit all possible IT compliance whether it is PCI-DSS, HIPAA, GDPR, and more, they all talk about protecting the 'data' and/or leading to privacy. And mobile devices are some of the most vulnerable devices which can be misused in many ways, so protecting the device from malicious traffic is the key when it would be supported with manual configurable controls then it would be the best fit!

Documentation may need a revisit, and on additional features: The problem comes when something goes haywire and customers have changed some elements of the mobile which affects the Android software environment. For the same, we looked for remote connectivity for revisiting the consumer's device safely and securely for which we tried a couple of openly available apps (in a controlled environment) which does not look very safe for consumers. Hence, would be interested to see an add-on or an extension software to be a part of 'Check Point Harmony' and can be used for remote monitoring and controlling (keeping all possible security and compliance aspects in mind!)

I have been using the solution for several months.

We experienced deploying this software on multiple Android devices (having varied firmware versions), however, when it comes to a few old hardware we faced challenges. Rest the product is very stable. (recommend reviewing the release notes, FAQs and recommendations, and more...)

As stated discussed, this is stable software. Given the required storage, recommended memory, and live internet, it would suffice most of the business needs.

When interacting with technical support, we have to be very clear about the issue we (including customers as well) are encountering then the support will provide assistance quickly.

Positive

We had a better experience using Zone Alarm (Antivirus and Firewall - desktop release) for a long time, and when we started getting requests on cybersecurity-related issues on mobile devices, we quickly checked Check Point 'Harmony' app. and found a perfect fit as of now.

The initial setup is straightforward (though version to version - device to device it may vary) and the deployment takes no more than ten minutes, but when it comes to 'fine-tuning or customizations' (some specific need/business requirements) it takes time and a series of testing for its fitment.

We did the implementation ourselves and are happy that we are able to protect our own devices (used in business) and for customers. The good part is there are lots of techno-functional documents available on their site which gives enough pragmatic exposers for technologies to understand its near-to-perfect deployment plus your past experience should kick in.

Our Revenue is organic and growing. Though unfortunately when we requested for registering our organization, we received our certificate a few days before the COVID lockdown and things have changed fundamentally, then we quickly transformed our operational machinery for remote work and successfully worked for a couple of clients in and around UAE/Saudi reign, which helped us survive and now we have enough requests coming-up for India/locally.

We pay between 300 and 600 Rupees (around seven dollars per month) per year per license, which depends on where you are procuring it, plus a small quantum of our service charges. 

I give the solution an eight out of ten.

The reason we use this solution is primarily due to its availability in the Indian market. This plays a very important role. We then started reviewing many products based on Gartner's magic quadrants, IDC, and other big analytical companies that provide the reports and enough rationale and justification for our decision-making. We prefer to have a look at Moody's ratings for companies' performance.

We must first look at the different mobile applications consumer use. We check the type of issue/problem explained is covered by comprehensive writeups/reports/bug reports/FAQs/or on some relabel blogs or reviews matching our problem area, then we take sustainable solutions.

I recommend the product, but it has to be fine-tuned and tested by each organization.

This solution is required for one of the internal needs of our organization. We need the product based on our need for the control of access to corporate resources. We were looking for a solution that allows us to generate the management of mobile network devices and something that could secure all systems in the best way possible, thus giving us a solution that allows for general device management. With this product, our organization will be able to monitor and control the devices used by each of our employees in the organization, which gives us an level of adequate security configuration and allows us to comply with internal policies.

As a security solution for devices, it can benefit us in many ways, including providing us with data security, access control, network security, and more. The kinds of features on offer provide us with confidential access to information, ensuring each of the different devices is protected while improving the productivity of employees. In summary, this solution can help us protect business resources in the best way possible, which can be translated into efficient and profitable security.

A very important feature that is outstanding and helps our organization is the ability to protect the business data stored on each device. This is especially important since these devices are used to create information, catalogs, products, customer information, and inventory. Every time they are outside the company, the solution provides us with a secure connection from the devices to the database, thereby keeping data safe. In addition, we can improve the productivity of each of the employees remotely. This benefits to the company in terms of sales or productivity even from different locations. 

One thing that should be improved in the future of the ability to ensure that mobile devices are protected from connections in environments with unlimited connectivity. 

In some cases, devices may be found in areas with little or no signal, which can make it difficult to connect to the network. That makes it difficult to use the solution. We ned to ensue we have something that allows users to work effectively even without a strong network connection. This would allow us to have a solution that adapts to the challenged presented by limited connection environments.

I've used the solution for one year.

We were busy protecting many of the devices used today by managers, sales teams, and those departments that have to be moving very frequently due to all these uncertainties. 

We were busy protecting the content, data, and information that was downloaded and all those objects or information that is shared with different departments to be secured in a simple way on the mobile devices to which access was given. 

For this reason, we have searched for solutions that could allow us to secure the departments' devices that have permissions outside the institution (based on the role or position they have).

One of the features that have given us additional value is being able to encrypt and block how data is shared within cell phones or mobile devices. This means that the data that belongs to the corporation will be encrypted and protected in a portion of the phone, with access to interactions against the data further protected within the device. It's a safe way to encapsulate, within a device, security to protect an organization's information.

The most valuable feature is being able to encrypt corporate data on devices that are not company devices (like personal cell phones), and being able to manage it remotely. This way, fired users can be removed and eliminated corporate data without affecting the personal data of its other users, thus being an efficient way to safely manage and administer the information that belongs to the corporation. 

We can easily secure the information of the company and the user's device so that if we find a vulnerability or some insecurity breach in these cell phones, the solution will indicate that the device is compromised and it will remove the corporate data to ensure the integrity of the data.

I would like to see management and remote administration functions in the same portal. I would like us to see it from the same centralized portal and be able to share its rules, its characteristics, and the advantages of cloud computing power. That way, we would have a more central way to manage the computers that belong to or are managed by us. Check Point Harmony Mobile is one of the features that we can see that is easy to install. We would like to have that same flexibility when it comes to managing it on the same platform where we share it with other features of Harmony Endpoint, Harmony Browser, or the NGFWs.

I've used the solution for one year.

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.
