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 asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Check Point Harmony Mobile has positively impacted my organization by achieving a decrease in 50% in the cyber attacks."
"Overall, it helped us account for all assets and protect them properly."
"Check Point Harmony Mobile is the best solution to secure user mobile devices and company data."
"Check Point Harmony Mobile has positively impacted my organization by simplifying IT operations, allowing quick check-ins without needing laptops, which provides peace of mind, knowing it's safe."
"The product's VPN solution is super efficient, and our clients highly value ransomware protection on mobile. These two features are probably the most valuable aspects of this product. Check Point Harmony Mobile responds very fast to any cybersecurity attack. With that product, your mobile response is super fast."
"Check Point Harmony Mobile is better and more secure for mobile protection because of its stability and all the functionality, and it is easy to deploy 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."
"In summary, this is a very good solution that works as expected, although it is very expensive."
"Symantec Endpoint Protection Mobile is very easy to deploy, and it is really easy to set up the policies."
"One of the features I found very nice in Symantec Endpoint Protection Mobile is that it's good at scanning and fixing issues on its own."
"The biggest advantage it has is the VPN product that is incorporated into the solution."
"The solution has a lot of extremely useful features, is reliable and makes search engines more powerful, and the user interface, managing, and monitoring tools are also good."
"Integration is good. You can integrate them with an off-brand endpoint solution. It has quite a few integration features you can use."
"The patch management alerts are the most valuable, and whenever they have one, I get a notification and can then handle the upgrades or updates."
"Your endpoint protection depends on the signature piece, so it's mainly for virus and malware protection, as well as also to control devices and applications."
"There is no issue with the stability of Endpoint."
 

Cons

"From a user's perspective, of course, it is always better when it is cheaper in price."
"Technical support should include other languages, such as Spanish or others, as currently it is only available in English."
"Harmony has more support for Android OS as opposed to iOS. You need a third-party MDM solution to integrate with iOS."
"Some configuration options inside the management console are a little confusing because the interface is not always user-friendly."
"Compatibility with other Mobile Device Management (MDM) products on the market should be improved, ensuring correct operation between SandBlast Mobile and MDM."
"An area for improvement could be simpler deployment. Regarding easier deployment options, we would appreciate options that simplify the whole process."
"Support for Check Point Harmony Mobile is only available in English, which is limiting. Support in other languages, such as Spanish, would be preferred."
"Pricing is a little high."
"The price is too expensive for the Egyptian market here. Compared to other products or the other competition here in the local market, they need to be more competitive cost-wise."
"I'm not sure if there's anything lacking; I personally don't use the solution too much, so I'd have to look at it a bit and do some more research."
"The product price is too expensive relative to the Egyptian market here."
"It would be nice to have more flexibility regarding deployment."
"Application and device control needs to be improved."
"A lot of the problems my team has been having from Symantec Endpoint Protection Mobile were associated with Outlook for endpoint users who were being locked out of the Outlook application."
"Application and device control needs to be improved. We also need to enhance login features for management to have good visibility of the events."
"For a lot of the issues my team experienced from Symantec Endpoint Protection Mobile, Symantec said that getting the issues resolved would mean going through the partner that sold the product and creating an incident report to get the team to work on the actual company environment. A lot of the problems my team has been having from Symantec Endpoint Protection Mobile were associated with Outlook for endpoint users who were being locked out of the Outlook application. Another area for improvement in Symantec Endpoint Protection Mobile is its central web hub, where you're supposed to be able to update all of the endpoints because it wasn't reaching the endpoints. For example, even if the central web hub was able to see the endpoints and do the required scans, whenever you'd go to do a policy change, the policy change wouldn't propagate down to the endpoints. The central web hub allows you to monitor all of your endpoints and allows you to choose actions you'd want to do to each of the endpoints such as pushing down on updates or scanning the system. The problem my team usually gets is that majority of the time, whenever my team would do policy updates, the updates won't propagate down to the users, so it was very inconsistent. Needing to manually go through and scan systems is also an area for improvement in Symantec Endpoint Protection Mobile. Currently, there's no way to automate its scanning process. A lot of the other issues started appearing in Symantec Endpoint Protection Mobile during situations when people wanted to customize different applications. Symantec doesn't like people doing a lot of customizations. For example, the main problem in my company is users losing access to Outlook, but then my team discovered that there was a specific policy set that you could disable, and it would fix a lot of the Outlook issues. However, when you'd go to change that policy set and attach that to a user to overwrite policies on the user side, it just wouldn't do anything for that user. It wouldn't even show that the policy was updated, so this is what needs to be improved in Symantec Endpoint Protection Mobile."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Choosing the correct set of licenses is essential because, without the additional software blade licenses, the Check Point gateways are just a stateful firewall."
"When I purchased the product for one of our company's clients, I realized that the price of the product was competitive."
"Pricing is a little high."
"The price is not so high. I would rate the pricing a three or four out of ten."
"This is a very expensive product."
"We pay between 300 and 600 Rupees per year, around seven dollars per month."
"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."
"The cost is huge compared to other products, and it seems this solution is only for companies with a large budget."
"You get the solution for free if you purchase the complete endpoint security licensing."
