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

"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 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."
"Check Point Harmony Mobile has positively impacted my organization by saving time and providing better security."
"In summary, this is a very good solution that works as expected, although it is very expensive."
"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."
"It has provided us with an easy-to-use solution that protects our corporate data on all our iPhone mobile devices."
"Our ROI has been great, as it really didn't come at a cost for us because we already had the Infinity in place so, at no cost, we had extra security benefits added and visibility into our users' devices that we didn't have before."
"The main advantage of the solution is the implementation of complete security policies for the terminals that address how more apps are installed on corporate devices."
"Jamf Connect allowed us to fully customize everything, offering a branded way to change passwords and manage integration with Entra instead of LDAP."
"The solution is scalable."
"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."
"Jamf Connect is an identity provider, and once you log in, you will have all the device's access."
"The initial setup of Jamf Connect was straightforward with clear instructions provided in the documentation."
"Jamf Connect integrates with multi-factor authentication from any IDP and facilitates initial device enrollment, ensuring 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."
"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

"It could expand the functionalities to, in addition to security functionality, incorporate Mobile Device Management (MDM) functionalities such as remote device management, administration of installed applications, etc."
"Also, we found configuring device groups & mapping a policy is quite confusing. There should be a simpler interface."
"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."
"We can say that this is a very good solution but Check Point has to reduce the cost."
"Technical support should include other languages, such as Spanish or others, as currently it is only available in English."
"An area for improvement could be simpler deployment. Regarding easier deployment options, we would appreciate options that simplify the whole process."
"If possible, it would be better if they can include vulnerability management for applications."
"In the next release, I would like to see a Wi-Fi scanner to be able to identify whether a wireless network is malicious before you join it."
"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."
"The solution’s technical support is bad and should be improved."
"The solution needs to improve its licensing."
"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."
"Jamf's support could be improved."
"The solution's UI could be more user-friendly for the setup process."
"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 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

"This is a very expensive product."
"When I purchased the product for one of our company's clients, I realized that the price of the product was competitive."
"The quality, price, and support ratio are very good."
"Choosing the correct set of licenses is essential because, without the additional software blade licenses, the Check Point gateways are just a stateful firewall."
"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."
"Regarding the cost of licenses, each device consumes one, even if it has both professional and personal profiles."
"Pricing is a little high."
"Its cost depends upon the number of users."
"The pricing is definitely on the higher side."
"I rate the cost as three out of ten, with ten being the highest."
"Jamf Connect has a yearly licensing cost, which is expensive."
"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."
"It's relatively inexpensive."
"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 pricing is good."
"The solution's price is reasonable."
