Featured Reviews

Anuraj Nair - PeerSpot reviewer
Provides good threat detection and prevention, but it lacks MDM capabilities present in other MDM products
Check Point Harmony Mobile is not so attractive and provides security only for mobile devices. Customers can use Check Point Harmony Mobile to secure their mobile devices, such as Android or Mac smartphones. However, it has less capability than an MDM (Mobile device management). Check Point Harmony Mobile has a good advantage in terms of security posture and security threat detection and prevention. Check Point Harmony Mobile will help prevent 99% of attacks on mobile devices. It is easy to manage Check Point Harmony Mobile. People bring their own devices and connect them to all the other unwanted networks. This causes traffic to flow to these devices from any network source, such as Wi-Fi, LAN, or other public networks. Deploying Check Point Harmony Mobile can ensure the endpoint is sanitized and clean for use at home and the workplace. Overall, I rate the solution a six out of ten.

Straightforward initial setup, it took less than a week to get everybody up and running
We are using the latest version of this solution. My primary use case is for mobile device protection The middleman protection and the WiFi protection are the most valuable features.  General reporting can be improved. The logs only last a short period of time so reporting could be improved,…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable features of the solution are threat emulation, threat extraction, URL detection, antimalware, antivirus, and IPS."
"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."
"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."
"It has been a reliable solution for our organization, significantly improving our mobile device security without excessive maintenance requirements."
"I would rate the stability a ten out of ten."
"The other most valuable service so far has been the assistance provided to us by the Check Point Harmony mobile engineers. They have been so awesome and helpful to us during the setup process."
"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."
"One of the features that have given us additional value is being able to encrypt and block how data is shared within cell phones or mobile devices."
"Look at other options but ultimately, this solution offers possibly one of the best solutions out there."
 

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."
"The product needs to improve its user awareness."
"We had some issues with loopback VPN DNS filtering stopping working periodically, however, this is something that we could probably iron out with support."
"There are certain shortcomings in the integration capabilities that a product offers."
"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."
"Compatibility with other Mobile Device Management (MDM) products on the market should be improved, ensuring correct operation between SandBlast Mobile and MDM."
"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."
"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."
"General reporting can be improved. The logs only last a short period of time, so reporting could be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The cost is huge compared to other products, and it seems this solution is only for companies with a large budget."
"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."
"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."
"The price is not so high. I would rate the pricing a three or four out of ten."
"Check Point pricing is better than Symantec."
"The quality, price, and support ratio are very good."
"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."
"There could be more clarity regarding the pricing."
