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

"Check Point Harmony Mobile has positively impacted my organization by saving time and providing better security."
"The simple navigation offered by the graphical user interface is excellent."
"After deploying Check Point Harmony Mobile, I saw a noticeable drop in mobile-related security alerts, around 30 to 40%, fewer phishing and risky application incidents, and better user awareness."
"Network protection, OS protection, application protection, and file protection are valuable. It is also easy to implement and manage."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"The product's initial setup phase is very straightforward."
"The product is one of the market leaders, according to Gartner, on mobile protection."
 

Cons

"Also, we found configuring device groups & mapping a policy is quite confusing. There should be a simpler interface."
"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."
"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."
"In terms of what needs improvement, the web interface should be simplified. It should be more user-friendly. It's too technical."
"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."
"Harmony Mobile could be improved with increased built-in DLP coverage."
"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 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

"Users have to pay a yearly licensing fee for each device, which is cheap."
"Its cost depends upon the number of users."
"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 product pricing is reasonable for the security it provides."
"Pricing is a little high."
"The quality, price, and support ratio are very good."
"We pay between 300 and 600 Rupees per year, around seven dollars per month."
"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."
