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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"First, the granular visibility of apps & traffic which we get through Check Point SandBlast Mobile are good. We can see each & every installed app & information for each app about severity & risk."
"Harmony Mobile presents many innovative features."
"It is a stable solution."
"It is very easy for my company to get information from the product's support team."
"You can block infected devices from accessing corporate data."
"The most impressive thing is the SSL VPN Portal."
"It also enables us to see where privacy is a concern, apps that are leaking privacy. Having an idea as to how these apps are being protected offers some level of security to the device and back into our corporate network."
"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."
"Integration is good. You can integrate them with an off-brand endpoint solution. It has quite a few integration features you can use."
"The biggest advantage it has is the VPN product that is incorporated into the solution."
"The user interface is good. Managing and monitoring tools are also good."
"Symantec Endpoint Protection Mobile is very easy to deploy, and it is really easy to set up the policies."
"The most valuable feature is to be able to power up a device and wipe the data remotely."
"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."
"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 solution is very good at finding a lot of applications and notifying you about systems that have issues. Symantec Endpoint Protection Mobile can run headless without having to report back which I found very nice about it. I also like that the solution would create alerts when a certain amount of time lapsed for systems, and it would recommend going through and scanning the systems. As an actual endpoint protection product, Symantec Endpoint Protection Mobile is good."
 

Cons

"It does the process in the background and it does a wonderful job but the methodologies don't pop up. They should make it more interactive."
"I would quite like to be able to block ads on my phone by blocking known inbound ad websites and services."
"Troubleshooting on Check Point Harmony Mobile is quite difficult because the logs are not located in the cloud, but they are on the local device."
"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."
"They could make a more beautiful interface."
"One of the improvements that can be made is that they become compatible with Google MDM."
"I would like to see more visibility into the actual devices that it's protecting. In some cases, you don't want to see a lot. However, for our purposes, I would like to see more information about the applications which are installed, then have more control over what can and what cannot be installed."
"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."
"When there is an attack attempt on mobile, there doesn't seem to be much of a notification."
"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."
"Having better, real-time support would be an improvement over having to send an email."
"Application and device control needs to be improved. We also need to enhance login features for management to have good visibility of the events."
"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."
"It would be nice to have more flexibility regarding deployment."
"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. I'm more on the operation side of things."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We pay between 300 and 600 Rupees per year, around seven dollars per month."
"The quality, price, and support ratio are very good."
"Check Point pricing is better than Symantec."
"We didn't actually purchase the software. It was given to us by Check Point. We are using it as a test bed for possible future customers."
"Its cost depends upon the number of users."
"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."
"Users have to pay a yearly licensing fee for each device, which is cheap."
"You get the solution for free if you purchase the complete endpoint security licensing."
