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

"The solution was easy to deploy and provided a useful security enhancement for mobile devices."
"Check Point Harmony Mobile has significantly strengthened the mobile security posture, especially as more employees rely on smartphones or tablets for work."
"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."
"The product's initial setup phase is very straightforward."
"We like Harmony's ability to encrypt transactions between mobile devices, all the user's transactions are encrypted, that's an excellent feature, and we can detect, quarantine, and address any issues in the handset itself."
"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."
"You can block infected devices from accessing corporate data."
"The solution has clients for both Android and Apple devices, so all of our employees' devices are protected."
"There is no issue with the stability of Endpoint."
"Symantec Endpoint Protection Mobile is very easy to deploy, and it is really easy to set up the policies."
"Integration is good. You can integrate them with an off-brand endpoint solution. It has quite a few integration features you can use."
"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."
"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."
"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."
 

Cons

"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."
"In terms of what needs improvement, the web interface should be simplified. It should be more user-friendly. It's too technical."
"Also, we found configuring device groups & mapping a policy is quite confusing. There should be a simpler interface."
"At times, when configuring policies, the tool takes some time to apply the policy."
"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."
"Harmony has more support for Android OS as opposed to iOS. You need a third-party MDM solution to integrate with iOS. If you don't have an MDM, your app can't scan on an iOS device. The solution can scan everything on Android. It sees all your apps."
"Integration needs improvement. We use Check Point for email. We use Check Point Capsule Workspace and I wish that it tied into that better and was integrated with their email application so that when it's secure, then they're able to access their email and it could be deployed as one group instead of two separate applications. It's a little bit more work for us to deploy both of those so it'd be nice if they could be integrated."
"Application and device control needs to be improved."
"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."
"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."
"The product price is too expensive relative to the Egyptian market here."
"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."
"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."
"Application and device control needs to be improved. We also need to enhance login features for management to have good visibility of the events."
 

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."
"We pay between 300 and 600 Rupees per year, around seven dollars per month."
"The price is not so high. I would rate the pricing a three or four out of ten."
"When I purchased the product for one of our company's clients, I realized that the price of the product was competitive."
"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."
"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."
"The product pricing is reasonable for the security it provides."
"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."
