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

"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."
"Because of its ease of use and the coverage you get for the blurred boundary of mobile devices, Harmony Mobile gives you coverage whether you're using a BYOD, COPE, or COBO framework."
"I really like the application scanning portion where it scans your current applications and any new applications that you add to the device to let you know if it is malicious."
"Check Point Harmony Mobile is better and more secure for mobile protection because of its stability and all the functionality, and it is easy to deploy and manage."
"It also enables us to see where privacy is a concern, apps that are leaking privacy. Having an idea as to how these apps are being protected offers some level of security to the device and back into our corporate network."
"The best thing about the product is that it is transparent and does not impact the users."
"With Harmony Mobile, we have been able to provide additional security to our network."
"It is a scalable solution. Up to three hundred users are using the solution. I rate the scalability a ten out of ten."
"Jamf Connect is very simple for us to use, and it is oriented towards productivity."
"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."
"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 is easy to integrate into any existing IT workflow."
"It's connection with Azure is the most valuable. It is easy to deploy and connect."
"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."
"I would rate the product's scalability an eight out of ten."
 

Cons

"Based on the fact that we do not have an MDM system, the deployment of the solution has been a bit difficult."
"Compatibility with other Mobile Device Management (MDM) products on the market should be improved, ensuring correct operation between SandBlast Mobile and MDM."
"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."
"I would like to see management and remote administration functions in the same portal."
"In distribution centers where Android devices with version 4.4.0 used, the solution gives many errors."
"Check Point Harmony Mobile can be improved by enhancing user experience customizations."
"From a user's perspective, of course, it is always better when it is cheaper in price."
"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."
"The solution needs to improve its licensing."
"The logs are an area with a shortcoming."
"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 solution’s technical support is bad and should be improved."
"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."
"One area of Jamf Connect that I think could be improved is the recent merger with Self Service Plus, which is a solution we did not want."
"However, there is a concern about pricing because Jamf Connect is a separate application that requires additional payment."
"User training has room for improvement. This improvement would benefit from more documentation, and I would appreciate seeing more automation pieces as well."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"Check Point provides a separate license in cases where organizations want to use this only on mobile devices, or laptops/desktops."
"I rate the tool's pricing a three out of ten."
"Check Point Harmony Mobile's pricing is 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."
"The quality, price, and support ratio are very good."
"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."
"I rate the cost as three out of ten, with ten being the highest."
"The pricing is definitely on the higher side."
"The pricing is good."
"The solution's price is reasonable."
"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."
"Jamf Connect has a yearly licensing cost, which is expensive."
"It's relatively inexpensive."
