Check Point Harmony Mobile Reviews

Our primary use case for using Check Point SandBlast Mobile solution was for securing (Bring your own device) BYOD mobile devices of users. With Check Point SandBlast Mobile we get full visibility of users' mobile activity, like installed apps. Users are only allowed to use permitted applications. We also have blacklisted some malicious URLs. Check Point SandBlast Mobile provides flexibility to BYOD users to access the restricted website as per the time specified by the company policy.

We have deployed for the first time a mobile protection solution in the environment & Check Point SandBlast Mobile worked well. All mobile devices that are connected to the network are monitored and restricted for web surfing as per company policy. With that, users also have the flexibility to use their favorite websites for some time. Device compliance, phishing protection, and all other next-gen features in action were previously not there with the environment. Also, adding a new user is very easy, there is no extra load on the team. 

First, the granular visibility of apps & traffic which we get through Check Point SandBlast Mobile is good. We can see each & every installed app & information for each app about severity & risk.

URL filtering has a wide variety of URL categories to choose from. We can also add whitelist & blacklist domains as per our requirements.

Another great thing about Check Point SandBlast Mobile is the ease of deployment. We can deploy a solution in an hour or two. 

Check Point SandBlast Mobile android application is very easy and simple. The interface & all processes are automated.

When adding users sometimes we were not able to send SMS to users also even after the application user was not visible in the dashboard. Upon troubleshooting, we found that the same user has previously integrated with our old Check Point SandBlast Mobile.

Also, we found configuring device groups & mapping policies is quite confusing. There should be a simpler interface.

Other than this, we did not have any problem as of now. In case of any problem, Check Point tech is always available to help.

I have been using Check Point SandBlast Mobile for one year.

The product is pretty stable, we have not had any problems with stability.

Our experience with Check Point tech is very good as of now. Every time we get a solution to our problem. They have been one of our best tech experiences.

The initial setup is very simple & less time-consuming.

The in-house team implemented the solution.

I was one who implemented the solution & we were not involved with commercials.

We use it for protecting mobile devices and have a few cases for integrating HEM mobile as it is the gate to some payment applications.

The project point needs improvement. 

I have been using Check Point Harmony Mobile for five years. 

The solution is stable. I rate the stability an eight out of ten. 

It is a scalable solution. Up to three hundred users are using the solution.  I rate the scalability a ten out of ten. 

The technical support team is good. 

The initial setup is straightforward. 

The price is not so high. I would rate the pricing a three or four out of ten. 

I would rate the overall solution a ten out of ten.

We primarily use the solution for mobile threat defense. We protect our mobile devices with it, due to the fact that SandBlast Mobile detects phishing, malware, et cetera, and all mobile devices.

What I like is that the user experience of your mobile device is not compromised by SandBlast Mobile. The end-user doesn't see anything like an extra app on your device. The app is working in the background, scanning for all kinds of cyberattacks, and seeking out phishing, malware, bots, et cetera. 

Once something is detected, the end-user gets an alert, and can immediately command an action. When they go to open, let's say, a phishing e-mail, they get an alert that says something to the effect of "Beware, this is a phishing mail. Don't open it." The user has the possibility then to open it, however, it would be quite foolish to do so when they are told not to do it. The app gives you very good warnings in terms of malicious attacks.

There is good integration with mobile device management systems.

There is a potential for reporting if you need it.

The solution scales very well.

We've found that the product is quite stable.

Technical support is helpful.

From my perspective, it's a very good product. I can't recall a moment where I thought a feature was missing.

It would be ideal if, one day, this product was bundled into a larger offering so that it's not just a standalone product.

I've been using the solution for three years at this point. It's not so long.

The stability is okay. We haven't had any issues with bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. It's reliable.

In terms of scalability, you can use it very well within an organization. YOu can use it with five devices or a hundred thousand devices. Worldwide, it's used by millions of devices. The scalability potential, therefore, is huge. It's no problem at all if an organization needs to scale it.

Technical support is very good. They are very quick as well. It's fairly easy to talk with them when needed, however, truthfully, you don't need regularly. It works very well as a product. You rarely need to deal with technical support.

From a user's perspective, of course, it is always better when it is cheaper in price. That said, it is a fair price. it's not overly expensive. We find it very reasonable. After all, when you get hit with ransomware or some other malicious program, it can be extremely expensive and comes at a great cost to the company.

We're both a reseller as well as an end-user of the solution. We're partners with Check Point.

The product is in the SaaS environment.

I'd recommend the solution. With cybersecurity on the rise due to COVID, and people working on devices from home, off secure networks, it's important to protect your devices, now more than ever. I'd advise that organizations look at this solution and consider implementing it.

I'd rate the solution nine out of ten.

However, if this solution is right for a company depends on the environment. The capability of the standalone product is very good. 

When there's a supplier who buys Check Point SandBlast Mobile and incorporates it into their larger solution, I will give it a ten out of ten. Then you have a solution that really fits not only your mobile devices but also the security part of your organization. While, right now, it's a great standalone product, there's a lot of possibilities for it when it integrates with a larger security offering.

We use the private cloud deployment model. We use AWS as our cloud provider. Our primary use case is for my users who are mobile. If I want them to connect from wherever they are and build connections to the emails. It's for my management that are usually very mobile.

The usability is the most valuable feature. It's really easy to use. It's a durable solution. I don't have any breaches. It is a good solution from that angle. 

The interface could be more user-friendly. They should improve the look and feel.

I would like to see more meaningful logs in the next release. The way the system is now, it's pretty expensive. 

I've not had an issue with this solution. There were issues when we did it first, there were a few problems with instability. People were not able to log in. But I think it's fine now because now, from a products point of view, it was the best solution.

I'm okay with the scalability. It's flexible enough. I currently have around 400 users. The users are primarily branch managers and top management of the bank.

We don't have any plans to increase the usage as of now. 

Their technical support is good. We don't have any issues with them. Anytime we have a problem, they help us. 

The deployment took around three months. 

We used an integrator for the deployment. We used our partners for the integration and customization. 

We had initial problems because our requirements were not well defined. You should define your use case. You should also look into other options to see what else there is out there and what they offer. 

I would rate it a seven out of ten. 

We primarily use the solution for mobile security, which is important in our part of the world. Using SandBlast Mobile, we're able to prove if a traditional antivirus has become embedded in some devices. It helps us to combat cybercrime. We're able to control things like SMS phishing and check for malicious links and malicious application downloads.

For example, if my son downloads Angry Birds, and we don't know if the version he downloaded was malicious, we can trigger SandBlast to check it.

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.

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. With ZoneAlarm for mobile, it will also direct from the Google Apps, or the Play Store. And then they get to pay for it too. I think it's a very nice solution. 

In terms of features, I believe they really have everything covered. I can't say if anything needs to be added. In this part of the world, we're still trying to bring ourselves up to speed in terms of what works best.

I've been using the solution for three years now.

The stability is very good. I'd rate it four out of five. I'm not sure if there are any shortfalls. I haven't seen any that would make me worry about the stability.

The scalability of the solution is good. I'd rate the solution four out of five.

We've contacted technical support They've been very good. So far, we've been pleased with their level of service.

We didn't previously use a different solution. In terms of mobile technology, it's completely new to me.

The initial setup is pretty straightforward. It's easy to deploy.

I haven't evaluated other options of compared this solution to other available platforms.

We're a distributor of Check Point and Check Point partners. 

We have a good understanding of what kind of security our clients need to stay safe in our country.

We both use it ourselves, so we can demonstrate the solution, and offer it as a solution to our clients. It's easy because it's on mobile so we can show clients on our phone.

I'd advise others to use the solution. It's a modern technology that really combats today's cyber threats on mobile devices.

I'd rate the solution nine out of ten. In terms of usage, it's given me everything I need. In Nigeria, we don't have many solutions that do what Check Point does.

The most valuable features of this solution are the: 

• Filtering 
• Interface configuration
• Threat management. 

In terms of what needs improvement, the web interface should be simplified. It should be more user-friendly. It's too technical. 

I have been using Check Point SandBlast Mobile for five years. 

The stability is good. 

Scalability is good. 

Their technical support is okay. We haven't had any issues with them.

I would say that the setup was fairly good enough. 

Check Point has a very high price for certain mid-size installations and some of their competitors have much lower prices. I would say that for big installations Check Point is okay for pricing but for a small-medium installation it's too expensive. Pricing is something else that they could improve. 

I would rate it an eight out of ten. Not a perfect ten because of the pricing and web interface. 

In the next release, I would like for there to be better integration with other products. 

My primary use case for this solution is to integrate with mobile device management.

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 is secure and only then do we deploy the business application. 

The antimalware feature has been valuable. 

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. 

Scalability is at quite a good level. We'll scale along with the product if we wish to grow.

The initial setup was quite simple.

We implemented through a system integrator. 

Pricing is a little high.

This is a must-go solution if you want mobile device security. 

I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.
