Nasseer Qureshi - PeerSpot reviewer
Ensuring remote work security with effective protection for Mobile device access
Check point harmony mobile is strong but could improve in reducing alert fatigue, sometimes we get too many notification which can overwhelm users and IT staff. Making alerts smarter or more customizable would help focus attention on the most critical threats. Also enhanced reporting with more detailed insights and easier integration with other security tools would be great. In the future versions adding AI-driven threat prediction and automated remediation could take the solution to the next level.

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

"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."
"The usability is the most valuable feature. It's really easy to use. It's a durable solution. I don't have any breaches. It is a good solution from that angle."
"Check Point Harmony Mobile has significantly improved our mobile security posture."
"It has been a reliable solution for our organization, significantly improving our mobile device security without excessive maintenance requirements."
"The easy navigation of the admin portal is a welcome change to how some other admin portals are not very user-friendly."
"Overall, we are very satisfied with Check Point Harmony Mobile."
"The product's initial setup phase is very straightforward."
"The product is one of the market leaders, according to Gartner, on mobile protection."
 

Cons

"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."
"The interface could be more user-friendly. They should improve the look and feel."
"One of the improvements that can be made is that they become compatible with Google MDM."
"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."
"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 feature set between the Android and Apple devices is not fully equal."
"I would quite like to be able to block ads on my phone by blocking known inbound ad websites and services."
"The product needs to improve its user awareness."
"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

"Regarding the cost of licenses, each device consumes one, even if it has both professional and personal profiles."
"The cost is huge compared to other products, and it seems this solution is only for companies with a large budget."
"I rate the tool's pricing a three out of ten."
"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."
"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."
"When I purchased the product for one of our company's clients, I realized that the price of the product was competitive."
"Check Point pricing is better than Symantec."
