"The environment is managed and administered centrally in Check Point Infinity which provides a lot of stability with its other features."
"Network protection, OS protection, application protection, and file protection are valuable. It is also easy to implement and manage."
"Harmony Mobile presents many innovative features."
"We have applied MFA so that no one can bypass this security and the users/employees can access their resources very easily, securely, and seamlessly."
"Check Point Harmony Mobile has helped us a lot with security outside the perimeter through its mobile technology."
"We have had a lot fewer attacks thanks to this solution."
"The best thing about the product is that it is transparent and does not impact the users."
"We've found that the product is quite stable."
"MaaS can force people to lock their phones. Not everyone likes having a PIN and other security features on their phones, but this sets a requirement that you can't get your emails unless you have a PIN on your phone. That was a good feature, and we were able to easily increase the PIN from four digits to six digits. Overall, it was pretty user-friendly."
"Remote enablement feature and access to internal resources on the VPN."
"Using this solution has made things more convenient. Earlier, we had to depend a lot more on IT to find and resolve our issues."
"All features that we have deployed are useful. We do access office emails on our smartphones, and we have complete sync with Active Directory. Our calendar also gets synced in the MaaS360 application. We also ensure that the data from these official applications is not being misused by any of the employees. We have disabled cut, copy, paste, and all such features. It ensures that all the official data that our employees have on their smartphones is secure. Security is the paramount feature that we value in this product."
"The most valuable feature is the fact that we can find a lost device or shut the device down and wipe it is good for HIPAA."
"Maas360 uses distribution groups to deploy apps, which makes it a bit easier than, for example, Intune."
"One valuable feature is the ability to provide a secure environment. Another is the kiosk mode where MaaS360 can be used over a tablet or mobile device to ensure that a single application is used."
"The solution is easy to implement."
"The service provided by Check Point at the technical support level is somewhat slow, and they only provide help in English, which limits some clients."
"Compatibility with other Mobile Device Management (MDM) products on the market should be improved, ensuring correct operation between SandBlast Mobile and MDM."
"It would be super helpful if there were more details around the risks that were found on our mobile devices."
"Harmony Mobile could be improved with increased built-in DLP coverage."
"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."
"The product does not provide deep capabilities for sharing specific data to users or groups separately, nor does it provide visibility as to whether a user has access to the data or not."
"We can say that this is a very good solution but Check Point has to reduce the cost."
"One of the improvements that can be made is that they become compatible with Google MDM."
"Local technical support would be helpful."
"When we have MaaS360 installed on smartphones, it consumes the battery of the device at a much faster pace. This is one of the areas of improvement that I would like to highlight. We have also observed that in the contact list, a lot of duplication is happening. A single contact is duplicated three or four times, which also consumes more memory resources. If they can work on improving it for these aspects, it will have a more positive impact not only on the way the application is being consumed by the user but also on user satisfaction. A lot of new features are being deployed or rolled out by companies that are competitors of IBM MaaS360. IBM will have to ensure that all those features are on board so that we have a complete suite of features in the platform, rather than deploying multiple diverse solutions to cater to the requirements of our customers."
"IBM MaaS360 can improve the information provided for DLP control. Some of our customers would benefit from this."
"User interface is basic and not very intuitive."
"The price could be lower."
"The solution needs to offer live technical support. Right now, it's just a chat window and it's rather unhelpful."
"The user interface could definitely use some improvement."
"Zero day support is something they can work on. They can make it a little bit more user-friendly."
