Find out what your peers are saying about Check Point Software Technologies, Lookout, Zimperium and others in Mobile Threat Defense."It is a scalable solution. Up to three hundred users are using the solution. I rate the scalability a ten out of ten."
"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."
"I really like the application scanning feature that scans all of the installed applications, and not only what appears in the add or remove apps, and then reports the results in the console."
"The most valuable features of this solution are the filtering, interface configuration, and threat management."
"The easy navigation of the admin portal is a welcome change to how some other admin portals are not very user-friendly."
"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."
"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."
"It is a stable solution."
"The solution is very reliable."
"The user interface is user-friendly."
"It is very simple to use, and it allows me to get into the university's network from my home, which is very useful for me."
"IOS is user-friendly and simple. You connect to a particular VPN, and that's it. You become seamless after that."
"Cisco IOS SSL VPN is an easy-to-use and straightforward solution."
"The solution is very easy to work with. This is its most valuable feature. They also did a good job surrounding how you configure the devices."
"Cisco IOS SSL VPN provides fast connectivity and the option to connect through multiple servers."
"The product's most valuable features are security, stability, and troubleshooting capabilities."
"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."
"Compatibility with other Mobile Device Management (MDM) products on the market should be improved, ensuring correct operation between SandBlast Mobile and MDM."
"The remote configuration has room for improvement."
"In terms of what needs improvement, the web interface should be simplified. It should be more user-friendly. It's too technical."
"Some configuration options inside the management console are a little confusing because the interface is not always user-friendly."
"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."
"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."
"The ability to integrate local and cloud technologies to create a hybrid scenario would be an upgrade."
"Improvements could be made in terms of connectivity for applications."
"Sometimes the connection drops, and we don't like that. I'm not sure the reason, but sometimes it will take time to connect or it will disconnect fast."
"The solution takes some time to log in because of some unavoidable security barriers, but it would be better if that could happen faster."
"Enhancing the client certificate deployment process could be a valuable improvement, ensuring smoother and more reliable certificate renewal experiences in the future."
"Cisco IOS SSL VPN should add a sensor that can authenticate with a fingerprint instead of having to type the username and password every time."
"The high price of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"Cisco IOS SSL VPN should improve its pricing."
"The pricing is a stumbling block to scaling our utilization of Cisco products and we would prefer to use more of them."
