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 product's VPN solution is super efficient, and our clients highly value ransomware protection on mobile. These two features are probably the most valuable aspects of this product. Check Point Harmony Mobile responds very fast to any cybersecurity attack. With that product, your mobile response is super fast."
"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."
"This solution checks so many of our boxes already, anything new added would just be the icing on the cake."
"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."
"The solution was easy to deploy and provided a useful security enhancement for mobile devices."
"Internal applications, data, and folders are published on enrolled mobile devices in a secure way without publishing any of the resources over the internet."
"It is a scalable solution. Up to three hundred users are using the solution. I rate the scalability a ten out of ten."
"Check Point Harmony Mobile has positively impacted my organization by significantly reducing mobile-related incidents, as phishing links, risky app installs, and unsafe network connections are now intercepted before they cause harm."
"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."
"For those kinds of users, it is an awesome solution because it syncs their password across the devices they are using, which was not the case previously."
"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."
"Jamf Connect is a pretty simple and straightforward tool overall."
"The initial setup of Jamf Connect was straightforward with clear instructions provided in the documentation."
"It's a good and stable tool, so you should use it if you have a need."
"Jamf Connect has quite a nice interface, and the password synchronization and SSO elements are particularly good."
"It's connection with Azure is the most valuable. It is easy to deploy and connect."
 

Cons

"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."
"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."
"Compatibility with other Mobile Device Management (MDM) products on the market should be improved, ensuring correct operation between SandBlast Mobile and MDM."
"We don't have Google MDM being supported by the solution as of yet. It is a feature requirement... They are aware that it is something that I need. My objective is to be able to have the MDM integration and to have some level of control over the asset itself."
"Support for Check Point Harmony Mobile is only available in English, which is limiting. Support in other languages, such as Spanish, would be preferred."
"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."
"Support for Check Point Harmony Mobile is only available in English, which is limiting."
"The admin portal is slightly clunky and sometimes shows a different status than what the device is actually doing."
"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."
"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 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."
"User training has room for improvement. This improvement would benefit from more documentation, and I would appreciate seeing more automation pieces as well."
"Jamf's support could be improved."
"The configuration could be faster."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price is not so high. I would rate the pricing a three or four out of ten."
"Choosing the correct set of licenses is essential because, without the additional software blade licenses, the Check Point gateways are just a stateful firewall."
"I rate the tool's pricing a three out of ten."
"Pricing is a little high."
"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."
"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 cost is huge compared to other products, and it seems this solution is only for companies with a large budget."
"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."
"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."
"The pricing is definitely on the higher side."
"The solution's price is reasonable."
"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 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."
