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.

A market leader that integrates nicely with other McAfee security products and is quite stable
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

"The best thing about the product is that it is transparent and does not impact the users."
"The easy navigation of the admin portal is a welcome change to how some other admin portals are not very user-friendly."
"With Harmony Mobile, we have been able to provide additional security to our network."
"Using it on a daily basis, the administration is quite easy."
"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."
"Overall, it helped us account for all assets and protect them properly."
"The use and management of our portal is easy."
"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."
"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."
"The product is one of the market leaders, according to Gartner, on mobile protection."
 

Cons

"The only language that is available is English."
"The solution's false positive detection could be improved to reduce unnecessary alerts, the app's performance optimized to minimize device impact, and policy management simplified for easier deployment."
"I have not seen a return on investment so far because I think it is too early to say."
"We don't have Google MDM being supported by the solution as of yet. It is a feature requirement, but they wrote me saying it was supposed to have been rolled out at the end of the second quarter of 2020, which would have been in the last month."
"I would like to see management and remote administration functions in the same portal."
"I would like to see more visibility into the actual devices that it's protecting."
"Integration needs improvement. We use Check Point for email. We use Check Point Capsule Workspace and I wish that it tied into that better and was integrated with their email application so that when it's secure, then they're able to access their email and it could be deployed as one group instead of two separate applications. It's a little bit more work for us to deploy both of those so it'd be nice if they could be integrated."
"I have faced some issues with Check Point Harmony Mobile. We are trying to get some features developed into the app and it is taking long for it to be developed."
"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

"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."
"Pricing is a little high."
"Check Point pricing is better than Symantec."
"This is a very expensive product."
"The product pricing is reasonable for the security it provides."
"Check Point provides a separate license in cases where organizations want to use this only on mobile devices, or laptops/desktops."
"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 not so high. I would rate the pricing a three or four out of ten."
