Check Point Harmony Mobile Reviews

We are mainly using it to manage mobile connections. It is a cloud solution, and it is deployed on the Check Point cloud.

We can manage different mobiles in the Harmony portal. For example, we can fix the version of the OS system that can connect to our network. Some applications are not authorized to be installed by the user. So, we can block those applications or versions.

Network protection, OS protection, application protection, and file protection are valuable. It is also easy to implement and manage.

If possible, it would be better if they can include vulnerability management for applications. When a user installs many applications, if there is a way to manage a pack of applications, it would be helpful.

I have been using this solution for two years.

There is no problem with stability. We have had no issues since we started using this product.

It is very easy to scale. We have 10 users, and it is for our internal use. We are also a Check Point partner, and we use it on our mobile phones to show it to our customers during seminars or presentations.

I'm a support engineer, and I have contacted their technical support. I was with a customer who needed some information about the mobile UEM integration of Harmony Endpoint, and I had to contact their technical support to find out how we can do this easily. 

Their support is very easy to contact. We are a partner, and when we contact their support, they always respond on time. Their support is very good.

We were providing Kaspersky and Bitdefender to our customers before becoming a partner of Check Point. I don't know if Bitdefender has protection for mobile, but I know that Kaspersky has recently started developing for mobile. Check Point Harmony Mobile is better and more secure for mobile protection because of its stability and all the functionality. It is easy to deploy and manage.

Its initial setup is very simple. If any additional configuration needs to be done, I just receive an email. When a user is added to the portal, you receive an email with information about the server and the password. You can just click and start the application. It is very easy.

It is pretty fast. It just takes one minute for the installation and the first scan.

I do it myself from the office. I don't need an assistant from Check Point or anyone else. I just need to read the documentation. I can download the documentation from their website, which contains the information for installation and troubleshooting.

The maintenance can be done from the tenants in the cloud. You can do the updates and patching of the product in the portal.

At the moment, the price is good, but there is always scope for amelioration when it comes to pricing. When pricing is lower, it can make a customer buy the product. Customers ask us about the price of the product before allowing us to explain the functionality to them.

I would recommend this solution to others. It is easy to implement, and it is easy to manage. It covers OS protection, network protection, file protection, and application protection. It provides the best protection.

I would rate it a nine out of ten.

The goal is to implement Harmony Mobile in the entire fleet of devices of the Government of the Junta de Andalucia. We are talking about a total of about 60,000 terminals. A pilot of the solution has started and it will be implemented in all the terminals that are renewed in the corporate network. These devices correspond to different user profiles and include different browsing patterns and profiles and threat exposure from terminals for M2M communication to advanced user terminals with large traffic quotas.

In the first place, the Harmony Mobile solution (or also known as Sandblast Mobile) has allowed us to minimize and speed up the software deployment tasks, which is the plan for 60,000 potential terminals and it is already a very important first advantage. The main advantage of the solution is the implementation of complete security policies for the terminals that address how more apps are installed on corporate devices. It is essential to be absolutely certain that these apps and the navigation of these terminals do not cause any risk to the corporate network. Harmony Mobile guarantees this protection.

It has been very easy to implement and deploy. It's possible to scale the installation based on the policies defined for each profile. It's my understanding that maintaining these policies and updating them will be a fairly easy task through the options provided by the platform. I am convinced that it is an advantage that the network administrators and security officers of the companies will gladly accept. On the other hand, it is also very important to note that the end-user has not perceived any inconvenience in the application of this solution to their terminals: it is completely transparent and has not caused any rejection among users who already have it implemented.

It could expand the functionalities to, in addition to security functionality, incorporate Mobile Device Management (MDM) functionalities such as remote device management, administration of installed applications, etc. In a wide network like ours, it would be a very desirable feature, since, in the same product, we would have all the device management and security capabilities we need. Another capacity that I would add to the product would be greater performance optimization options for older terminals. Our fleet is very varied and some devices are up to 5 years old.

Our solution has been in place for 3 years.

The current version we are working with (Version 3.7) is very stable. It's a stable solution because it keeps corporate data safe by protecting mobile devices across all attack vectors— apps, network, and operating system —without impacting user experience or privacy.

The solution is easily scalable because integration with the MDM is allowed.

Access to technical support for users is always done through the vendor. However, we perceive that the technical and human team behind Check Point is exceptional.

No, previously we have not had any solution that implements security in the mobile terminals of the corporate network.

The initial start-up was fairly straightforward thanks to the specialist support of the vendor. No major incidents were detected.

The implementation was through a vendor. The team in charge had a high level of experience and their tasks were carried out with a high degree of professionalism.

Our business model does not focus on measuring these types of parameters. The adoption of this type of solution is motivated by other factors, especially in the reduction of security incidents and related incidents in mobile services and corporate networks.

In our case, the cost is indirect and is directly passed on by the mobile services operator to the mobile voice services/terminals of the corporate network. We do not have data on the detailed cost of the service.

No, previously we have not had any solution that implements security in the mobile terminals of the corporate network.

As it is deployed in a greater number of devices and the maintenance and management tasks associated with the solution escalate, we will be able to make a future updated review.

We use the solution for security purposes. It helps us scan mobile apps for malware prevention.

The solution's most valuable features are scanning for malware prevention and threat identification. 

There could be more automation features for the solution.

I have been using the solution for more than a year.

I rate the solution's stability a nine out of ten.

It is a scalable solution. We have 5000 users in our organization.

I rate the solution's initial setup process a nine out of ten. We take help from its documentation and execute the implementation manually. Although, the documentation needs to include a few crucial steps for onboarding users.

The solution's cost depends upon the number of users. Its price reduces in case of a larger number of users.

I advise others to deploy the solution for advanced automation features. I rate it a nine 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.

They can access the information from anywhere, which had to be covered with security to safeguard the company data, for which we obtained the use of Check Point Harmony Mobile to be able to provide this layer of security in a simple way.

The security provided has helped us to shield the information accessible to mobiles from anywhere, this was a risk to vulnerabilities, which is why the implementation of the Harmony Mobile Check Point solution has been quite important to improve security.

With it, we have been able to establish policies for use, access and anti-malware protection, and modern protection so that the equipment is covered.

We have had a lot fewer attacks thanks to this solution, achieving the main objective.

Users are quite happy with the solution.

The costs are adjusted to the organization for each user that is implemented and is really competitive for the features that are implemented.

It is essential to rely on a good vendor so that the provisioning and implementation of security are the best.

I feel that the implementation of users in a massive way should improve so that we can easily load some Excel, which can provide all the users that are required to be implemented.

Also, the solution or support service must improve, its newer applications are a little more difficult for the support teams since they take longer to solve.

The only language that is available is English. The hours of attention are somewhat uncomfortable as they are generally on the other side of the world, which is why they are not compatible with Latin America.

It has helped us a lot with the issue of controlling the security of both internal and using mobile devices since, through the agent, we can carry out this security governance.

It is our first implementation since previously we used an antivirus solution, but they did not meet the requirements of the company or modern threats.

It is important to always implement demo environments to test first before doing it in production so that we can have more experience when migrating it to the most important environment.

The cost is accessible.

We really do not doubt the capacity of Check Point. We validate reviews in addition to validating their characteristics, for which we are convinced of their potential. Check Point Harmony Mobile is one of the best.

I use Harmony Mobile integrated with our MDM platform to manage mobile devices.

Harmony Mobile's most valuable feature is the variety of capabilities in the platform, including allowing you to track device status.

Harmony Mobile could be improved with increased built-in DLP coverage.

I've been using Check Point Harmony Mobile for two and a half years.

Harmony Mobile is stable.

Harmony Mobile is scalable.

The initial setup is easy, and deployment takes just a couple of minutes.

We used an in-house team.

I also evaluated VMware AirWatch, but I find Harmony Mobile to be a better solution.

Because of its ease of use and the coverage you get for the blurred boundary of mobile devices, Harmony Mobile gives you coverage whether you're using a BYOD, COPE, or COBO framework. I would give Harmony Mobile a rating of nine out of ten.

We use Harmony Mobile to protect our workers' mobile devices. There are about 300 users, including everybody from executives to regular engineers. We plan to increase usage, but we are waiting on an executive decision. They'll decide whether to cut costs or increase use. 

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. 

Harmony has more support for Android OS as opposed to iOS. You need a third-party MDM solution to integrate with iOS. If you don't have an MDM, your app can't scan on an iOS device. The solution can scan everything on Android. It sees all your apps. 

We have had Harmony Mobile for about three years. We're both a customer and a partner. The partner is the enterprise division of our organization, and we are a customer, but we cannot purchase it ourselves. We have to go to a third party. Acquisition is more from the customer base, but my company also is a partner.

We haven't had any issues with Harmony crashing our system.

Deploying Harmony was straightforward.  You can deploy it using an MDM solution, but we didn't have one at the time. We deployed by email or SMS, and was relatively simple. 

We explored the MDM part with Google but ran into some issues because the feature required for this integration requires an enterprise license. We have three staff members responsible for implementing and managing the solution.  

The license was pretty reasonable. I don't have a figure right now, but I think it was somewhere between $10 and $30 per user. 

We evaluated VMware Workspace ONE, and VMware also had an MDM that we looked at at the time. Even the McAfee MVISION right now also comes with mobile device management as well.

I rate Check Point Harmony eight out of 10.

My advice for enterprises thinking about Harmony is to consider your device type. If your users are predominantly on Android, it's a good solution. If it's primarily iOS users, you might need to deploy an MDM before buying it. An MDM that covers both operating systems is a significant factor to consider. It will determine how easy it is to deploy it and how much control you have over the profiles.

The Checkpoint Harmony mobile application is used to protect and eliminate our corporate iPhone users from malicious attempts such as phishing, malware, malicious websites, anti-bots, and harmful applications. Many users receive malicious text messages and emails prompting them for credentials such as corporate active directory details, banking information, or credit card information. It is important to protect our corporate data on all mobile devices by using Check Point's Harmony Mobile Application. 

It has provided us with an easy-to-use solution that protects our corporate data on all our iPhone mobile devices. The easy-to-manage cloud-based management console provides us with details on the scanning status of our devices and reports all risks that are identified on the mobile devices. It is wonderful to be able to customize the many policies in order for the application to work at it's best for our corporate environment. The scalability has provided us with much protection and flexibility - and that is what we definitely need. 

The zero-touch deployment system process has been the most valuable feature thus far. The ability to deploy and configure the application with the help of Microsoft's Endpoint Management (our mobile device management solution) has been seamless and has given us the ability to deploy with zero user interaction. 

The other most valuable service so far has been the assistance provided to us by the Check Point Harmony mobile engineers. They have been so awesome and helpful to us during the setup process. 

The area that I find could use the most improvement would be in the forensics section of the administrator console. It would be super helpful if there were more details around the risks that were found on our mobile devices. A simple click to find out more information would be excellent. Also, a reporting option would be beneficial as well. Maybe the option to send an email to the administrators when a high-risk vulnerability is found and also the option to run a monthly report to send to administrators would be great. 

I've used the solution for about 4 months.

The solution is very stable; we have not had any connection issues with the devices reporting into the admin console. 

The options to customize the policies are very beneficial.

Technical support is great. All have excellent customer service skills and stellar technical abilities.

We previously did not have a solution in place. 

The initial setup was straightforward and the documentation was excellent. 

We did an in-house implementation with support from engineers. 

In terms of ROI, we do not know this yet. 

I'd advise new users to be sure to get all information about the cost and licensing first. 

No, we did not evaluate other options first.
