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

"It has been very easy to implement and deploy."
"Management can see all devices on one panel and easily highlight any devices under threat."
"The most valuable features of the solution are threat emulation, threat extraction, URL detection, antimalware, antivirus, and IPS."
"Check Point Harmony Mobile has positively impacted my organization by achieving a decrease in 50% in the cyber attacks."
"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."
"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 solution has clients for both Android and Apple devices, so all of our employees' devices are protected."
"Harmony Mobile presents many innovative features."
"The product is one of the market leaders, according to Gartner, on mobile protection."
 

Cons

"We had some issues with loopback VPN DNS filtering stopping working periodically, however, this is something that we could probably iron out with support."
"From a user's perspective, of course, it is always better when it is cheaper in price."
"It could expand the functionalities to, in addition to security functionality, incorporate Mobile Device Management (MDM) functionalities such as remote device management, administration of installed applications, etc."
"If possible, it would be better if they can include vulnerability management for applications. When a user installs many applications, if there is a way to manage a pack of applications, it would be helpful."
"Some configuration options inside the management console are a little confusing because the interface is not always user-friendly."
"The feature set between the Android and Apple devices is not fully equal."
"We don't have Google MDM being supported by the solution as of yet. It is a feature requirement... They are aware that it is something that I need. My objective is to be able to have the MDM integration and to have some level of control over the asset itself."
"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

"The price is not so high. I would rate the pricing a three or four 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."
"Pricing is a little high."
"I rate the tool's pricing a three out of ten."
"The product pricing is reasonable for the security it provides."
"This is a very expensive product."
"Users have to pay a yearly licensing fee for each device, which is cheap."
"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."
