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

"The most valuable features of the solution are threat emulation, threat extraction, URL detection, antimalware, antivirus, and IPS."
"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 simple navigation offered by the graphical user interface is excellent."
"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."
"It is a modern technology that really combats today's cyber threats on mobile devices."
"I really like the application scanning feature that scans all of the installed applications, and not only what appears in the add or remove apps, and then reports the results in the console."
"After deploying Check Point Harmony Mobile, I saw a noticeable drop in mobile-related security alerts, around 30 to 40%, fewer phishing and risky application incidents, and better user awareness."
"Check Point Harmony Mobile has positively impacted my organization by saving time and providing better security."
"The initial setup of Jamf Connect was straightforward with clear instructions provided in the documentation."
"The most valuable feature is ease of access. It's convenient to do things like resetting passwords. Previously, users were bound to their domain. We had to bind the user to the domain and log them in through the AD. Now, using Jamf Connect, we don't face any of these challenges. Resetting passwords is hassle-free so we can regularly rotate passwords according to best practices."
"It's a good and stable tool, so you should use it if you have a need."
"The tool supports different types of authentication. It also integrates seamlessly if you are using other Jamf products."
"It is easy to integrate into any existing IT workflow."
"Jamf Connect has quite a nice interface, and the password synchronization and SSO elements are particularly good."
"Jamf Connect is an identity provider, and once you log in, you will have all the device's access."
"It has definitely reduced the IT support burden, as 31% of Mac tickets are password-related, costing an average of 70 or 80 dollars for just one ticket, and that has been drastically reduced with the automation of these tasks through Jamf Connect."
 

Cons

"There are certain shortcomings in the integration capabilities that a product offers."
"Technical support should include other languages, such as Spanish or others, as currently it is only available in English."
"We had some issues with loopback VPN DNS filtering stopping working periodically, however, this is something that we could probably iron out with support."
"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."
"If possible, it would be better if they can include vulnerability management for applications. When a user installs many applications, if there is a way to manage a pack of applications, it would be helpful."
"Harmony has more support for Android OS as opposed to iOS. You need a third-party MDM solution to integrate with iOS."
"In terms of what needs improvement, the web interface should be simplified. It should be more user-friendly. It's too technical."
"The interface could be more user-friendly. They should improve the look and feel."
"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."
"The configuration could be faster."
"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."
"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."
"The solution’s technical support is bad and should be improved."
"The solution needs to improve its licensing."
"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."
"However, there is a concern about pricing because Jamf Connect is a separate application that requires additional payment."
 

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."
"When I purchased the product for one of our company's clients, I realized that the price of the product was competitive."
"The cost is huge compared to other products, and it seems this solution is only for companies with a large budget."
"The product pricing is reasonable for the security it provides."
"The price is not so high. I would rate the pricing a three or four out of ten."
"Pricing is a little high."
"We pay between 300 and 600 Rupees per year, around seven dollars per month."
"The quality, price, and support ratio are very good."
"I rate the cost as three out of ten, with ten being the highest."
"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."
"Jamf Connect has a yearly licensing cost, which is expensive."
"The pricing is definitely on the higher side."
"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."
"The solution's price is reasonable."
