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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Check Point Harmony Mobile has delivered several clear benefits to the organization, especially as mobile use continues to grow across the workforce, including reduced mobile threats and a sharp drop in incidents involving malicious apps, phishing, or bad Wi-Fi connections."
"Network protection, OS protection, application protection, and file protection are valuable. It is also easy to implement and manage."
"We have had a lot fewer attacks thanks to this solution."
"Because of its ease of use and the coverage you get for the blurred boundary of mobile devices, Harmony Mobile gives you coverage whether you're using a BYOD, COPE, or COBO framework."
"The most valuable features of the solution are threat emulation, threat extraction, URL detection, antimalware, antivirus, and IPS."
"All of our clients' and employees' feedback is very positive and they are very satisfied with this solution."
"The easy navigation of the admin portal is a welcome change to how some other admin portals are not very user-friendly."
"The solution has clients for both Android and Apple devices, so all of our employees' devices are protected."
"Integration is good. You can integrate them with an off-brand endpoint solution. It has quite a few integration features you can use."
"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."
"Symantec Endpoint Protection Mobile is very easy to deploy, and it is really easy to set up the policies."
"The biggest advantage it has is the VPN product that is incorporated into the solution."
"The most valuable feature is to be able to power up a device and wipe the data remotely."
"The user interface is good. Managing and monitoring tools are also good."
"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."
"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

"The deployment in the Android system is very simple but in the case of iOS, it is more complicated so the users require attention from our CAU."
"At times, when configuring policies, the tool takes some time to apply the policy."
"We can say that this is a very good solution but Check Point has to reduce the cost."
"The interface could be more user-friendly. They should improve the look and feel."
"The solution's false positive detection could be improved to reduce unnecessary alerts, the app's performance optimized to minimize device impact, and policy management simplified for easier deployment."
"One thing that should be improved in the future of the ability to ensure that mobile devices are protected from connections in environments with unlimited connectivity."
"The remote configuration has room for improvement."
"For SandBlast Mobile, the only thing that is lacking is that it wasn't available for all types of users. However, Check Point has since fixed this, with ZoneAlarm."
"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."
"When there is an attack attempt on mobile, there doesn't seem to be much of a notification."
"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."
"It would be nice to have more flexibility regarding deployment."
"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 product price is too expensive relative to the Egyptian market here."
"Application and device control needs to be improved."
"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

"Users have to pay a yearly licensing fee for each device, which is cheap."
"The price is not so high. I would rate the pricing a three or four out of ten."
"Its cost depends upon the number of users."
"The quality, price, and support ratio are very good."
"We pay between 300 and 600 Rupees per year, around seven dollars per month."
"Choosing the correct set of licenses is essential because, without the additional software blade licenses, the Check Point gateways are just a stateful firewall."
"Check Point Harmony Mobile's pricing is good."
"Check Point pricing is better than Symantec."
"You get the solution for free if you purchase the complete endpoint security licensing."
