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

"Overall, we are very satisfied with Check Point Harmony Mobile."
"As a security solution for devices, it can benefit us in many ways, including providing us with data security, access control, network security, and more."
"The usability is the most valuable feature, it's really easy to use, it's a durable solution, I don't have any breaches, and it is a good solution from that angle."
"We have applied MFA so that no one can bypass this security and the users/employees can access their resources very easily, securely, and seamlessly."
"Network protection, OS protection, application protection, and file protection are valuable. It is also easy to implement and manage."
"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."
"Internal applications, data, and folders are published on enrolled mobile devices in a secure way without publishing any of the resources over the internet."
"Check Point Harmony Mobile is the best solution to secure user mobile devices and company data."
"The initial setup of Jamf Connect was straightforward with clear instructions provided in the documentation."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is the synchronization of passwords with a local password, which works well."
"It is easy to integrate into any existing IT workflow."
"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."
 

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. It's a little bit more work for us to deploy both of those so it'd be nice if they could be integrated."
"I have not seen a return on investment so far because I think it is too early to say."
"The interface could be more user-friendly. They should improve the look and feel."
"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."
"There are certain shortcomings in the integration capabilities that a product offers."
"An area for improvement could be simpler deployment. Regarding easier deployment options, we would appreciate options that simplify the whole process."
"The product does not provide deep capabilities for sharing specific data to users or groups separately, nor does it provide visibility as to whether a user has access to the data or not."
"Troubleshooting on Check Point Harmony Mobile is quite difficult because the logs are not located in the cloud, but they are on the local device."
"However, there is a concern about pricing because Jamf Connect is a separate application that requires additional payment."
"The configuration could be faster."
"Jamf's support could be improved."
"Overall, there is a lack of consistent experience sometimes with some of their features."
"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."
"Jamf Connect is beginning to implement Multi-Factor Authentication for offline authentication, but the setup documentation is insufficient."
"The logs are an area with a shortcoming."
"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

"The quality, price, and support ratio are very good."
"The cost is huge compared to other products, and it seems this solution is only for companies with a large budget."
"Check Point pricing is better than Symantec."
"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."
"Its cost depends upon the number of users."
"The product pricing is reasonable for the security it provides."
"Regarding the cost of licenses, each device consumes one, even if it has both professional and personal profiles."
"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 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."
"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 solution's price is reasonable."
"The pricing is good."
"It's relatively inexpensive."
"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 definitely on the higher side."
