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.
Joost Van 'T Wout - PeerSpot reviewer
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 use and management of our portal is easy."
"The best part of Check Point Harmony Mobile is its ability to deliver real-time on-device threat detection without compromising device performance."
"With Harmony Mobile, we have been able to provide additional security to our network."
"The most valuable features of this solution are the filtering, interface configuration, and threat management."
"It has been a reliable solution for our organization, significantly improving our mobile device security without excessive maintenance requirements."
"It is very easy for my company to get information from the product's support team."
"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 Check Point SandBlast Mobile solution supports Android and iOS operating systems and allows for integration with Mobile Device Management (MDM)."
"The initial setup of Jamf Connect was straightforward with clear instructions provided in the documentation."
"I would rate the product's scalability an eight out of ten."
"It's connection with Azure is the most valuable. It is easy to deploy and connect."
"The solution is scalable."
"Jamf Connect is a pretty simple and straightforward tool overall."
"The tool supports different types of authentication. It also integrates seamlessly if you are using other Jamf products."
"It's a good and stable tool, so you should use it if you have a need."
"Jamf Connect is an identity provider, and once you log in, you will have all the device's access."
 

Cons

"One of the improvements that can be made is that they become compatible with Google MDM."
"Some areas that could be improved with Check Point Harmony Mobile include embedding SD-WAN in mobile device products. Our clients are interested in this feature, so it could be a good idea if Check Point Harmony Mobile includes it in the mobile product."
"The feature set between the Android and Apple devices is not fully equal."
"The remote configuration has room for improvement."
"We know that for many companies, the management and administration of device and data security have been complex."
"I think that the pricing for the Check Point products should be reconsidered, as we found it to be quite expensive to purchase and to maintain."
"At times, when configuring policies, the tool takes some time to apply the policy."
"For SandBlast Mobile, the only thing that is lacking is that it wasn't available for all types of users. However, Check Point has since fixed this, with ZoneAlarm."
"Jamf Connect is beginning to implement Multi-Factor Authentication for offline authentication, but the setup documentation is insufficient."
"The configuration could be faster."
"Jamf's support could be improved."
"The logs are an area with a shortcoming."
"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."
"The solution needs to improve its licensing."
"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 solution’s technical support is bad and should be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Check Point provides a separate license in cases where organizations want to use this only on mobile devices, or laptops/desktops."
"We didn't actually purchase the software. It was given to us by Check Point. We are using it as a test bed for possible future customers."
"The quality, price, and support ratio are very good."
"Choosing the correct set of licenses is essential because, without the additional software blade licenses, the Check Point gateways are just a stateful firewall."
"I rate the tool's pricing a three out of ten."
"When I purchased the product for one of our company's clients, I realized that the price of the product was competitive."
"The price is okay. Per user, it should be something like five or ten dollars. But, we usually get discounts that drive the cost down."
"Its cost depends upon the number of users."
"It's relatively inexpensive."
"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."
"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."
"The pricing is good."
"The pricing is definitely on the higher side."
"The solution's price is reasonable."
"I rate the cost as three out of ten, with ten being the highest."
"Jamf Connect has a yearly licensing cost, which is expensive."
