Ensuring remote work security with effective protection for Mobile device access
Check point harmony mobile is strong but could improve in reducing alert fatigue, sometimes we get too many notification which can overwhelm users and IT staff. Making alerts smarter or more customizable would help focus attention on the most critical threats. Also enhanced reporting with more detailed insights and easier integration with other security tools would be great. In the future versions adding AI-driven threat prediction and automated remediation could take the solution to the next level.

Customizable and good password management but needs better user-level profile deployment
The main use case for Jamf Connect was to synchronize local accounts with the identity provider, like Entra. However, due to some limitations with the enrollment sequence and user limitations, we decided to discontinue using it We previously used Jamf Connect to synchronize local accounts with…

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"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."
"Harmony Mobile's most valuable feature is the variety of capabilities in the platform, including allowing you to track device status."
"The most valuable features of this solution are the filtering, interface configuration, and threat management."
"Overall, we are very satisfied with Check Point Harmony Mobile."
"The product's initial setup phase is very straightforward."
"We like the URL content filtering, that is one of the most valuable features."
"Harmony Mobile is a unified security solution for user devices and internet connections. It protects devices from sophisticated attacks, including malware, and implements Zero Trust Access for comprehensive security."
"It also enables us to see where privacy is a concern, apps that are leaking privacy. Having an idea as to how these apps are being protected offers some level of security to the device and back into our corporate network."
"The most valuable feature of Jamf Connect is the dual login screen, which has simplified the login process and eliminated the need for users to enter their password multiple times."
"The solution is scalable."
"It's connection with Azure is the most valuable. It is easy to deploy and connect."
"Jamf Connect allowed us to fully customize everything, offering a branded way to change passwords and manage integration with Entra instead of LDAP."
"I would rate the product's scalability an eight out of ten."
"It's a good and stable tool, so you should use it if you have a need."
"The most valuable feature is ease of access. It's convenient to do things like resetting passwords. Previously, users were bound to their domain. We had to bind the user to the domain and log them in through the AD. Now, using Jamf Connect, we don't face any of these challenges. Resetting passwords is hassle-free so we can regularly rotate passwords according to best practices."
"It is easy to integrate into any existing IT workflow."
 

Cons

"Compatibility with other Mobile Device Management (MDM) products on the market should be improved, ensuring correct operation between SandBlast Mobile and MDM."
"The admin portal is slightly clunky and sometimes shows a different status than what the device is actually doing."
"It would be super helpful if there were more details around the risks that were found on our mobile devices."
"They could make a more beautiful interface."
"We had some issues with loopback VPN DNS filtering stopping working periodically, however, this is something that we could probably iron out with support."
"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."
"It does the process in the background and it does a wonderful job but the methodologies don't pop up. They should make it more interactive."
"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."
"Jamf Connect is beginning to implement Multi-Factor Authentication for offline authentication, but the setup documentation is insufficient."
"The solution needs to improve its licensing."
"When a Mac is joined to Azure, the generic Pro console in the MDM should accurately display the Mac as joined to Azure in the inventory section. Currently, it shows "no domain account found," which can be misleading."
"Overall, there is a lack of consistent experience sometimes with some of their features."
"The logs are an area with a shortcoming."
"We have faced issues with the product's configuration. If we use the tool with other business manager solutions, then there is the issue of naming conventions. The tool needs to be careful with newer updates so that it doesn't break any of the existing configurations."
"The configuration could be faster."
"There is room for improvement with Jamf Connect in reducing its cost and overcoming limitations during pre-stage enrollment, which prevent it from creating MDM-capable users."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The quality, price, and support ratio are very good."
"Regarding the cost of licenses, each device consumes one, even if it has both professional and personal profiles."
"The price is not so high. I would rate the pricing a three or four out of ten."
"The cost is huge compared to other products, and it seems this solution is only for companies with a large budget."
"The product pricing is reasonable for the security it provides."
"Users have to pay a yearly licensing fee for each device, which is cheap."
"Check Point pricing is better than Symantec."
"This is a very expensive product."
"The pricing model could be improved, especially considering the availability of alternative MDM solutions like Kandji, which offers similar features for free or at a lower cost."
"The pricing is good."
"The pricing is definitely on the higher side."
"It's relatively inexpensive."
"Jamf Connect has a yearly licensing cost, which is expensive."
"I rate the cost as three out of ten, with ten being the highest."
"The solution's price is reasonable."
"We pay 2 dollars per device monthly. For the plus version, you have to pay 4 dollars per month. I think the product will give discounts based on the number of users and devices."
