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

"It is a scalable solution. Up to three hundred users are using the solution. I rate the scalability a ten out of ten."
"It has been very easy to implement and deploy."
"The most valuable features of this solution are the filtering, interface configuration, and threat management."
"As a security solution for devices, it can benefit us in many ways, including providing us with data security, access control, network security, and more."
"The anti-phishing and scanning of SMS are the most valuable aspects of the solution. Sometimes we will get some SMS and they will try to redirect you to malicious links. If you have SandBlast Mobile, it helps you prevent clicking on those malicious links."
"The use and management of our portal is easy."
"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."
"Harmony Mobile's most valuable feature is the variety of capabilities in the platform, including allowing you to track device status."
"Jamf Connect allowed us to fully customize everything, offering a branded way to change passwords and manage integration with Entra instead of LDAP."
"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."
"Jamf Connect is an identity provider, and once you log in, you will have all the device's access."
"It's connection with Azure is the most valuable. It is easy to deploy and connect."
"It is easy to integrate into any existing IT workflow."
"Jamf Connect is a pretty simple and straightforward tool overall."
"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."
 

Cons

"I think that the pricing for the Check Point products should be reconsidered, as we found it to be quite expensive to purchase and to maintain."
"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."
"From a user's perspective, of course, it is always better when it is cheaper in price."
"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."
"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 is strong but could improve in reducing alert fatigue, sometimes we get too many notifications which can overwhelm users and IT staff."
"The cost is a bit high. While it is worth the investment given the increased security and improved user experience, it is definitely a significant expense."
"The feature set between the Android and Apple devices is not fully equal."
"The solution's UI could be more user-friendly for the setup process."
"Jamf Connect is beginning to implement Multi-Factor Authentication for offline authentication, but the setup documentation is insufficient."
"The logs are an area with a shortcoming."
"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."
"The configuration could be faster."
"There is room for improvement with Jamf Connect in reducing its cost and overcoming limitations during pre-stage enrollment, which prevent it from creating MDM-capable users."
"Overall, there is a lack of consistent experience sometimes with some of their features."
"We have faced issues with the product's configuration. If we use the tool with other business manager solutions, then there is the issue of naming conventions. The tool needs to be careful with newer updates so that it doesn't break any of the existing configurations."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Its cost depends upon the number of users."
"This is a very expensive product."
"I rate the tool's pricing a three out of ten."
"We pay between 300 and 600 Rupees per year, around seven dollars per month."
"The cost is huge compared to other products, and it seems this solution is only for companies with a large budget."
"Pricing is a little high."
"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."
"The price is not so high. I would rate the pricing a three or four out of ten."
"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."
"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."
"Jamf Connect has a yearly licensing cost, which is expensive."
"I rate the cost as three out of ten, with ten being the highest."
"The pricing is good."
"It's relatively inexpensive."
