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

"The blade is easy to enable and configure, and it provides great benefits with the help of the built-in SSL VPN Portal."
"The main advantage of the solution is the implementation of complete security policies for the terminals that address how more apps are installed on corporate devices."
"The product's initial setup phase is very straightforward."
"The usability is the most valuable feature, it's really easy to use, it's a durable solution, I don't have any breaches, and it is a good solution from that angle."
"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."
"Network protection, OS protection, application protection, and file protection are valuable. It is also easy to implement and manage."
"It is a scalable solution. Up to three hundred users are using the solution. I rate the scalability a ten out of ten."
"Because of its ease of use and the coverage you get for the blurred boundary of mobile devices, Harmony Mobile gives you coverage whether you're using a BYOD, COPE, or COBO framework."
"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

"In distribution centers where Android devices with version 4.4.0 used, the solution gives many errors."
"Harmony has more support for Android OS as opposed to iOS. You need a third-party MDM solution to integrate with iOS. If you don't have an MDM, your app can't scan on an iOS device. The solution can scan everything on Android. It sees all your apps."
"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."
"Support for Check Point Harmony Mobile is only available in English, which is limiting."
"There could be more automation features for the solution."
"Compatibility with other Mobile Device Management (MDM) products on the market should be improved, ensuring correct operation between SandBlast Mobile and MDM."
"Based on the fact that we do not have an MDM system, the deployment of the solution has been a bit difficult."
"Check Point Harmony Mobile is strong but could improve in reducing alert fatigue, sometimes we get too many notifications which can overwhelm users and IT staff."
"The one thing that I know that they're working on, that's not quite there in the product, is the artificial intelligence aspect."
"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

"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."
"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 okay. Per user, it should be something like five or ten dollars. But, we usually get discounts that drive the cost down."
"At the moment, the price is good, but there is always scope for amelioration when it comes to pricing. When pricing is lower, it can make a customer buy the product. Customers ask us about the price of the product before allowing us to explain the functionality to them."
"Check Point provides a separate license in cases where organizations want to use this only on mobile devices, or laptops/desktops."
"The quality, price, and support ratio are very good."
"We pay between 300 and 600 Rupees per year, around seven dollars per month."
