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

"This is a must-go solution if you want mobile device security."
"In summary, this is a very good solution that works as expected, although it is very expensive."
"We have had a lot fewer attacks thanks to this solution."
"We've found that the product is quite stable."
"Check Point Harmony Mobile is the best solution to secure user mobile devices and company data."
"This solution checks so many of our boxes already, anything new added would just be the icing on the cake."
"Harmony Protect is a great solution and really stands up to threat protection and device defense."
"It has been a reliable solution for our organization, significantly improving our mobile device security without excessive maintenance requirements."
"The most valuable feature is the synchronization of passwords with a local password, which works well."
"Jamf Connect is an identity provider, and once you log in, you will have all the device's access."
"It's connection with Azure is the most valuable. It is easy to deploy and connect."
"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 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 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."
"The initial setup of Jamf Connect was straightforward with clear instructions provided in the documentation."
 

Cons

"I would quite like to be able to block ads on my phone by blocking known inbound ad websites and services."
"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."
"The solution's false positive detection could be improved to reduce unnecessary alerts, the app's performance optimized to minimize device impact, and policy management simplified for easier deployment."
"For SandBlast Mobile, the only thing that is lacking is that it wasn't available for all types of users. However, Check Point has since fixed this, with ZoneAlarm."
"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."
"Technical support should include other languages, such as Spanish or others, as currently it is only available in English."
"For SandBlast Mobile, the only thing that is lacking is that it wasn't available for all types of users."
"An area for improvement could be simpler deployment. Regarding easier deployment options, we would appreciate options that simplify the whole process."
"Overall, there is a lack of consistent experience sometimes with some of their features."
"The solution’s technical support is bad and should be improved."
"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."
"The solution needs to improve its licensing."
"The configuration could be faster."
"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."
"However, there is a concern about pricing because Jamf Connect is a separate application that requires additional payment."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"When I purchased the product for one of our company's clients, I realized that the price of the product was competitive."
"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."
"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."
"Check Point Harmony Mobile's pricing is good."
"Pricing is a little high."
"Choosing the correct set of licenses is essential because, without the additional software blade licenses, the Check Point gateways are just a stateful firewall."
"Users have to pay a yearly licensing fee for each device, which is cheap."
"Regarding the cost of licenses, each device consumes one, even if it has both professional and personal profiles."
"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."
"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."
"The pricing is good."
"The pricing is definitely on the higher side."
"The solution's price is reasonable."
