Nasseer Qureshi - PeerSpot reviewer
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.
Joost Van 'T Wout - PeerSpot reviewer
Customizable and good password management but needs better user-level profile deployment
The main use case for Jamf Connect was to synchronize local accounts with the identity provider, like Entra. However, due to some limitations with the enrollment sequence and user limitations, we decided to discontinue using it We previously used Jamf Connect to synchronize local accounts with…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The best thing about the product is that it is transparent and does not impact the users."
"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."
"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."
"Check Point Harmony Mobile has positively impacted my organization by achieving a decrease in 50% in the cyber attacks."
"You can block infected devices from accessing corporate data."
"It doesn't allow you to activate some of the applications until your mobile is malware free. That way we come to know that the device secure and only then do we deploy the business application."
"It monitors all the URLs that a user goes to on their phone and so we can see what they're looking at and we can limit that. Certain topics are not allowed to be accessed. They're monitoring their apps and they rate them based upon how big of a security risk that individual app is based on their ratings. And so we're able to limit those as well and allow people to have some that may be a low risk, but still a risk, but we may allow that for our users whereas we block medium and high risk."
"We've found that the product is quite stable."
"Jamf Connect allowed us to fully customize everything, offering a branded way to change passwords and manage integration with Entra instead of LDAP."
"The most valuable feature of Jamf Connect is the dual login screen, which has simplified the login process and eliminated the need for users to enter their password multiple times."
"Jamf Connect allows for easy and seamless joining of Mac devices to Azure AD, eliminating the need for third-party involvement or support engineer assistance."
"It is easy to integrate into any existing IT workflow."
"Jamf Connect is a pretty simple and straightforward tool overall."
"I would rate the product's scalability an eight out of ten."
"The most valuable feature is the synchronization of passwords with a local password, which works well."
"The initial setup of Jamf Connect was straightforward with clear instructions provided in the documentation."
 

Cons

"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."
"Check Point Harmony Mobile lacks MDM capabilities, which are present in other MDM products, like IBM Security MaaS360, AirWatch, and Google Workspace."
"Harmony Mobile could be improved with increased built-in DLP coverage."
"The project point needs improvement."
"I would quite like to be able to block ads on my phone by blocking known inbound ad websites and services."
"One area Check Point Harmony Mobile can improve is the cost for the solution itself, which I find a bit expensive, but other than that, most of it should be okay."
"In terms of what needs improvement, the web interface should be simplified. It should be more user-friendly. It's too technical."
"The feature set between the Android and Apple devices is not fully equal."
"Jamf Connect is beginning to implement Multi-Factor Authentication for offline authentication, but the setup documentation is insufficient."
"The solution's UI could be more user-friendly for the setup process."
"Overall, there is a lack of consistent experience sometimes with some of their features."
"Jamf's support could be improved."
"The configuration could be faster."
"When a Mac is joined to Azure, the generic Pro console in the MDM should accurately display the Mac as joined to Azure in the inventory section. Currently, it shows "no domain account found," which can be misleading."
"What can be improved is the login banner resizing. Currently, it is not fully compatible and could benefit from being a full-screen size banner on the Mac device."
"We've had some issues when users restart their devices because the device asks for credentials afterward. Jamf Connect asks for a username, password, and MFA."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Users have to pay a yearly licensing fee for each device, which is cheap."
"Regarding the cost of licenses, each device consumes one, even if it has both professional and personal profiles."
"Check Point pricing is better than Symantec."
"Check Point Harmony Mobile's pricing is good."
"The cost is huge compared to other products, and it seems this solution is only for companies with a large budget."
"I rate the tool's pricing a three out of ten."
"Choosing the correct set of licenses is essential because, without the additional software blade licenses, the Check Point gateways are just a stateful firewall."
"The price is not so high. I would rate the pricing a three or four out of ten."
"The pricing is definitely on the higher side."
"I rate the cost as three out of ten, with ten being the highest."
"The solution's price is reasonable."
"We pay 2 dollars per device monthly. For the plus version, you have to pay 4 dollars per month. I think the product will give discounts based on the number of users and devices."
"It's relatively inexpensive."
"The pricing is good."
"Jamf Connect has a yearly licensing cost, which is expensive."
"The pricing model could be improved, especially considering the availability of alternative MDM solutions like Kandji, which offers similar features for free or at a lower cost."
