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.

We are just customers and end-users. We are using the most up-to-date version available at this time. I'd advise potential new users that the key thing is to clearly understand what your requirements are and what your use cases are, and both your business requirements, your technical requirements, and your regulatory requirements. It's important to understand all of those. A company needs to clearly understand all the use cases it needs to manage and make sure they do the appropriate due diligence to find a product that can achieve all those requirements and handle all those use cases. It was an extensive process for us. We did about four to six months of paper-based due diligence - not even a field trial - to make that we were picking the right product. We leveraged a lot of outside vendor-neutral sources like Gartner. So far, I'd rate the solution at a nine out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Harmony Mobile's most valuable feature is the variety of capabilities in the platform, including allowing you to track device status."
"One of the features that have given us additional value is being able to encrypt and block how data is shared within cell phones or mobile devices."
"Check Point Harmony Mobile has positively impacted my organization by improving compliance in the customer's environment and helps remind the customer that there is protection on the devices."
"Having a unified solution developed by one of the most reliable brands in the market gives our organization the peace of mind that data is safe anytime, anywhere."
"Overall, it helped us account for all assets and protect them properly."
"I really like the application scanning portion where it scans your current applications and any new applications that you add to the device to let you know if it is malicious."
"The easy deployment is the key for us. I can simply send a link through email to a user, then they install the software and are protected."
"Network protection, OS protection, application protection, and file protection are valuable. It is also easy to implement and manage."
"The product is one of the market leaders, according to Gartner, on mobile protection."
"Due to the fact that we bought a number of McAfee security products, one of the significant benefits for our company was the integration across multiple security controls, giving us a single pane of glass to monitor, administer, and manage multiple security controls."
 

Cons

"The only language that is available is English."
"The reporting dashboard could be more flexible. Currently, it is somewhat limited in terms of customizing views or filtering data by user groups and device type."
"Some of our employees reported slow performance of the application on the old Android devices (Android version 2.4 and less), but I think it is mostly connected with the poor hardware resources on the older devices."
"The solution should improve passive scanning and provide regular updates. Also, during business hours, users should not experience any slowdown on their devices."
"We can say that this is a very good solution but Check Point has to reduce the cost."
"The feature set between the Android and Apple devices is not fully equal."
"At times, when configuring policies, the tool takes some time to apply the policy."
"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."
"The one thing that I know that they're working on, that's not quite there in the product, is the artificial intelligence aspect."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There is a need to make yearly payments towards the licensing costs attached to the product. You can opt for a one-year, three-year, or five-year license."
"The quality, price, and support ratio are very good."
"Users have to pay a yearly licensing fee for each device, which is cheap."
"Pricing is a little high."
"Regarding the cost of licenses, each device consumes one, even if it has both professional and personal profiles."
"Choosing the correct set of licenses is essential because, without the additional software blade licenses, the Check Point gateways are just a stateful firewall."
"The price is not so high. I would rate the pricing a three or four out of ten."
"Check Point Harmony Mobile's pricing is good."
