Provides good threat detection and prevention, but it lacks MDM capabilities present in other MDM products
Check Point Harmony Mobile is not so attractive and provides security only for mobile devices. Customers can use Check Point Harmony Mobile to secure their mobile devices, such as Android or Mac smartphones. However, it has less capability than an MDM (Mobile device management). Check Point Harmony Mobile has a good advantage in terms of security posture and security threat detection and prevention. Check Point Harmony Mobile will help prevent 99% of attacks on mobile devices. It is easy to manage Check Point Harmony Mobile. People bring their own devices and connect them to all the other unwanted networks. This causes traffic to flow to these devices from any network source, such as Wi-Fi, LAN, or other public networks. Deploying Check Point Harmony Mobile can ensure the endpoint is sanitized and clean for use at home and the workplace. Overall, I rate the solution a six out of ten.

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 most valuable features of this solution are the filtering, interface configuration, and threat management."
"Harmony Mobile presents many innovative features."
"The use and management of our portal is easy."
"It has been very easy to implement and deploy."
"I really like the application scanning feature that scans all of the installed applications, and not only what appears in the add or remove apps, and then reports the results in the console."
"Harmony Mobile's most valuable feature is the variety of capabilities in the platform, including allowing you to track device status."
"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."
"With Harmony Mobile, we have been able to provide additional security to our network."
"The product is one of the market leaders, according to Gartner, on mobile protection."
 

Cons

"While it's great, there's always room for improvement. Adding capabilities for automatic deployment in an enterprise environment would be useful."
"The product needs to improve its user awareness."
"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 admin portal is slightly clunky and sometimes shows a different status than what the device is actually doing."
"It would be super helpful if there were more details around the risks that were found on our mobile devices."
"From a user's perspective, of course, it is always better when it is cheaper in price."
"The cost is a bit high. While it is worth the investment given the increased security and improved user experience, it is definitely a significant expense."
"In the next release, I would like to see a Wi-Fi scanner to be able to identify whether a wireless network is malicious before you join it."
"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

"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."
"Its cost depends upon the number of users."
"There is a need to make yearly payments towards the licensing costs attached to the product. You can opt for a one-year, three-year, or five-year license."
"Pricing is a little high."
"The cost is huge compared to other products, and it seems this solution is only for companies with a large budget."
"We pay between 300 and 600 Rupees per year, around seven dollars per month."
"I rate the tool's pricing a three out of ten."
"Check Point provides a separate license in cases where organizations want to use this only on mobile devices, or laptops/desktops."
