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.

Unified sign-on has simplified password management and now secures our mobile workforce
The ability to have a single password for the local device and the same password for the IDP is part of our security requirements. Jamf Connect integrates with multi-factor authentication from any IDP and facilitates initial device enrollment. It ensures that when a new user sets up the device, they sign in with their IDP username and password, which then creates the profile on the device. Furthermore, Jamf Connect is now integrated into Jamf Self Service Plus, providing a single dashboard for user password management and allowing users to sync and change their passwords. Additionally, Jamf Connect enhances security by offering two-factor authentication and permitting users to manage or seek help through support features directly within the app.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"This solution checks so many of our boxes already, anything new added would just be the icing on the cake."
"The blade is easy to enable and configure, and it provides great benefits with the help of the built-in SSL VPN Portal."
"With Harmony Mobile, we have been able to provide additional security to our network."
"It is a stable solution."
"Harmony Mobile's most valuable feature is the variety of capabilities in the platform, including allowing you to track device status."
"It has been a reliable solution for our organization, significantly improving our mobile device security without excessive maintenance requirements."
"The implementation of the Check Point SandBlast Mobile, as the centralized security solution for the mobile devices, improved the overall security of our network by providing the additional protecting layer on the user devices."
"Harmony Protect is a great solution and really stands up to threat protection and device defense."
"Jamf Connect has quite a nice interface, and the password synchronization and SSO elements are particularly good."
"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."
"It's connection with Azure is the most valuable. It is easy to deploy and connect."
"The solution is scalable."
"It's a good and stable tool, so you should use it if you have a need."
"Jamf Connect is very simple for us to use, and it is oriented towards productivity."
"Jamf Connect is an identity provider, and once you log in, you will have all the device's access."
"I would rate the product's scalability an eight out of ten."
 

Cons

"In terms of what needs improvement, the web interface should be simplified. It should be more user-friendly. It's too technical."
"Harmony has more support for Android OS as opposed to iOS. You need a third-party MDM solution to integrate with iOS."
"There could be more automation features for the solution."
"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 one area where Check Point Harmony Mobile can be improved is cost-wise because compared to other vendors, the cost is a little bit higher."
"Support for Check Point Harmony Mobile is only available in English, which is limiting. Support in other languages, such as Spanish, would be preferred."
"Harmony Mobile could be improved with increased built-in DLP coverage."
"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."
"Jamf Connect is beginning to implement Multi-Factor Authentication for offline authentication, but the setup documentation is insufficient."
"The configuration could be faster."
"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."
"User training has room for improvement. This improvement would benefit from more documentation, and I would appreciate seeing more automation pieces as well."
"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."
"Jamf's support could be improved."
"I see a potential area of improvement for Jamf Connect from the commercial side, not from the technical side, because technically we do not have any issues."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price is okay. Per user, it should be something like five or ten dollars. But, we usually get discounts that drive the cost down."
"Users have to pay a yearly licensing fee for each device, which is cheap."
"The cost is huge compared to other products, and it seems this solution is only for companies with a large budget."
"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."
"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 product pricing is reasonable for the security it provides."
"I rate the cost as three out of ten, with ten being the highest."
"The solution's price is reasonable."
"The pricing is definitely on the higher side."
"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."
"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 is good."
"It's relatively inexpensive."
