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 product's initial setup phase is very straightforward."
"We have had a lot fewer attacks thanks to this solution."
"One of the strengths of Check Point Harmony Mobile is how it balances usability with enterprise-grade protection, as the app runs silently in the background, protecting against threats without slowing down devices or interfering with personal use."
"You can block infected devices from accessing corporate data."
"It is very easy for my company to get information from the product's support team."
"We have applied MFA so that no one can bypass this security and the users/employees can access their resources very easily, securely, and seamlessly."
"Check Point Harmony Mobile has delivered several clear benefits to the organization, especially as mobile use continues to grow across the workforce, including reduced mobile threats and a sharp drop in incidents involving malicious apps, phishing, or bad Wi-Fi connections."
"It is a stable solution."
"The product is one of the market leaders, according to Gartner, on mobile protection."
 

Cons

"I would like to see more visibility into the actual devices that it's protecting. In some cases, you don't want to see a lot. However, for our purposes, I would like to see more information about the applications which are installed, then have more control over what can and what cannot be installed."
"The product needs to improve its user awareness."
"The solution should improve passive scanning and provide regular updates. Also, during business hours, users should not experience any slowdown on their devices."
"I would quite like to be able to block ads on my phone by blocking known inbound ad websites and services."
"The errors should be more visible to admin users."
"We know that for many companies, the management and administration of device and data security have been complex."
"I have not seen a return on investment so far because I think it is too early to say."
"The admin portal is slightly clunky and sometimes shows a different status than what the device is actually doing."
"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

"Pricing is a little high."
"Choosing the correct set of licenses is essential because, without the additional software blade licenses, the Check Point gateways are just a stateful firewall."
"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."
"Its cost depends upon the number of users."
"This is a very expensive product."
"When I purchased the product for one of our company's clients, I realized that the price of the product was competitive."
"Check Point Harmony Mobile's pricing is good."
"The cost is huge compared to other products, and it seems this solution is only for companies with a large budget."
