Featured Reviews

Anuraj Nair - PeerSpot reviewer
Provides good threat detection and prevention, but it lacks MDM capabilities present in other MDM products
Check Point Harmony Mobile is not so attractive and provides security only for mobile devices. Customers can use Check Point Harmony Mobile to secure their mobile devices, such as Android or Mac smartphones. However, it has less capability than an MDM (Mobile device management). Check Point Harmony Mobile has a good advantage in terms of security posture and security threat detection and prevention. Check Point Harmony Mobile will help prevent 99% of attacks on mobile devices. It is easy to manage Check Point Harmony Mobile. People bring their own devices and connect them to all the other unwanted networks. This causes traffic to flow to these devices from any network source, such as Wi-Fi, LAN, or other public networks. Deploying Check Point Harmony Mobile can ensure the endpoint is sanitized and clean for use at home and the workplace. Overall, I rate the solution a six out of ten.
Joost Van 'T Wout - PeerSpot reviewer
Customizable and good password management but needs better user-level profile deployment
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 We previously used Jamf Connect to synchronize local accounts with…

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Network protection, OS protection, application protection, and file protection are valuable. It is also easy to implement and manage."
"I would rate the stability a ten out of ten."
"It monitors all the URLs that a user goes to on their phone and so we can see what they're looking at and we can limit that. Certain topics are not allowed to be accessed. They're monitoring their apps and they rate them based upon how big of a security risk that individual app is based on their ratings. And so we're able to limit those as well and allow people to have some that may be a low risk, but still a risk, but we may allow that for our users whereas we block medium and high risk."
"The other most valuable service so far has been the assistance provided to us by the Check Point Harmony mobile engineers. They have been so awesome and helpful to us during the setup process."
"It is very easy for my company to get information from the product's support team."
"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."
"Harmony Mobile's most valuable feature is the variety of capabilities in the platform, including allowing you to track device status."
"The most valuable features of this solution are the filtering, interface configuration, and threat management."
"It's connection with Azure is the most valuable. It is easy to deploy and connect."
"The solution is scalable."
"The tool supports different types of authentication. It also integrates seamlessly if you are using other Jamf products."
"Jamf Connect is an identity provider, and once you log in, you will have all the device's access."
"It is easy to integrate into any existing IT workflow."
"Jamf Connect allowed us to fully customize everything, offering a branded way to change passwords and manage integration with Entra instead of LDAP."
"The most valuable feature is the synchronization of passwords with a local password, which works well."
"It's a good and stable tool, so you should use it if you have a need."
 

Cons

"There are certain shortcomings in the integration capabilities that a product offers."
"In terms of what needs improvement, the web interface should be simplified. It should be more user-friendly. It's too technical."
"One of the improvements that can be made is that they become compatible with Google MDM."
"We can say that this is a very good solution but Check Point has to reduce the cost."
"The feature set between the Android and Apple devices is not fully equal."
"It would be super helpful if there were more details around the risks that were found on our mobile devices."
"The project point needs improvement."
"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."
"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 needs to improve its licensing."
"The logs are an area with a shortcoming."
"The configuration could be faster."
"The solution’s technical support is bad and should be improved."
"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."
"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."
"Jamf's support could be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Check Point Harmony Mobile's pricing is good."
"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."
"I rate the tool's pricing a three out of ten."
"Check Point provides a separate license in cases where organizations want to use this only on mobile devices, or laptops/desktops."
"Choosing the correct set of licenses is essential because, without the additional software blade licenses, the Check Point gateways are just a stateful firewall."
"We pay between 300 and 600 Rupees per year, around seven dollars per month."
"Its cost depends upon the number of users."
"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."
"The solution's price is reasonable."
"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."
"It's relatively inexpensive."
"The pricing is good."
"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."
"The pricing is definitely on the higher side."
"I rate the cost as three out of ten, with ten being the highest."
