Unified across devices and mobile threats are automatically blocked before damage occurs
The best feature of Check Point Harmony Mobile is the Mobile Threat Defense because it detects and blocks phishing attempts, malicious apps, man-in-the-middle attacks, and device exploits, which is especially critical in BYOD and remote work environments. The Mobile Threat Defense feature in Check Point Harmony Mobile has been very effective, especially in catching threats that target employees outside of traditional email channels. For example, there was a smishing attempt where a user received a text message with links disguised as package delivery updates. Check Point Harmony Mobile analyzed the link in real-time, flagged it as malicious, and blocked access before anyone could enter credentials, which prevented what could have been a widespread credential harvesting attack. Device Management and Remote Work Support are two additional aspects of Check Point Harmony Mobile that are especially valued. Device Management continuously checks device posture, including things like OS version, patch level, and whether a device is jailbroken or rooted. Remote Work Support allows employees to securely access email, collaboration tools, and files from anywhere without worrying about phishing links, malicious apps, and unsafe Wi-Fi networks. Check Point Harmony Mobile has positively impacted the organization, especially with phishing protections, as SMS or messaging-based phishing attempts are now blocked before users can click, preventing credential theft. Measurable outcomes since deploying Check Point Harmony Mobile highlight its impact on both security and compliance. Mobile-related security incidents have dropped by approximately 40 to 50 percent compared to before deployment.

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

"Harmony Mobile presents many innovative features."
"I would rate the stability a ten out of ten."
"With Harmony Mobile, we have been able to provide additional security to our network."
"Network protection, OS protection, application protection, and file protection are valuable. It is also easy to implement and manage."
"It is very easy for my company to get information from the product's support team."
"We like the URL content filtering, that is one of the most valuable features."
"The solution provides us with all the information in the log."
"Harmony Mobile's most valuable feature is the variety of capabilities in the platform, including allowing you to track device status."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is the synchronization of passwords with a local password, which works well."
"It is easy to integrate into any existing IT workflow."
"It's a good and stable tool, so you should use it if you have a need."
"Jamf Connect allowed us to fully customize everything, offering a branded way to change passwords and manage integration with Entra instead of LDAP."
"Jamf Connect allows for easy and seamless joining of Mac devices to Azure AD, eliminating the need for third-party involvement or support engineer assistance."
"Jamf Connect is a pretty simple and straightforward tool overall."
"The solution is scalable."
 

Cons

"The admin portal is slightly clunky and sometimes shows a different status than what the device is actually doing."
"The product needs to improve its user awareness."
"The interface could be more user-friendly. They should improve the look and feel."
"Compatibility with other Mobile Device Management (MDM) products on the market should be improved, ensuring correct operation between SandBlast Mobile and MDM."
"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."
"The solution should improve passive scanning and provide regular updates. Also, during business hours, users should not experience any slowdown on their devices."
"We don't have Google MDM being supported by the solution as of yet. It is a feature requirement... They are aware that it is something that I need. My objective is to be able to have the MDM integration and to have some level of control over the asset itself."
"While it's great, there's always room for improvement. Adding capabilities for automatic deployment in an enterprise environment would be useful."
"The solution needs to improve its licensing."
"Overall, there is a lack of consistent experience sometimes with some of their features."
"The configuration could be faster."
"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."
"What can be improved is the login banner resizing. Currently, it is not fully compatible and could benefit from being a full-screen size banner on the Mac device."
"Jamf's support could be improved."
"The solution’s technical support is bad and should be improved."
"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

"Regarding the cost of licenses, each device consumes one, even if it has both professional and personal profiles."
"Check Point Harmony Mobile's pricing is good."
"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 product pricing is reasonable for the security it provides."
"The price is not so high. I would rate the pricing a three or four 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."
"We pay between 300 and 600 Rupees per year, around seven dollars per month."
"It's relatively inexpensive."
"The pricing is definitely on the higher side."
"Jamf Connect has a yearly licensing cost, which is expensive."
"I rate the cost as three out of ten, with ten being the highest."
"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 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 solution's price is reasonable."
