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

"The implementation of the Check Point SandBlast Mobile, as the centralized security solution for the mobile devices, improved the overall security of our network by providing the additional protecting layer on the user devices."
"Check Point Harmony Mobile's app and device risk assessment capabilities have significantly influenced my mobile security strategy."
"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."
"Internal applications, data, and folders are published on enrolled mobile devices in a secure way without publishing any of the resources over the internet."
"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."
"The simple navigation offered by the graphical user interface is excellent."
"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."
"We like the URL content filtering, that is one of the most valuable features."
"It's connection with Azure is the most valuable. It is easy to deploy and connect."
"The most valuable feature is the synchronization of passwords with a local password, which works well."
"The initial setup of Jamf Connect was straightforward with clear instructions provided in the documentation."
"It has definitely reduced the IT support burden, as 31% of Mac tickets are password-related, costing an average of 70 or 80 dollars for just one ticket, and that has been drastically reduced with the automation of these tasks through Jamf Connect."
"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."
"Jamf Connect is an identity provider, and once you log in, you will have all the device's access."
"The solution is scalable."
 

Cons

"While it's great, there's always room for improvement. Adding capabilities for automatic deployment in an enterprise environment would be useful."
"The reporting dashboard could be more flexible. Currently, it is somewhat limited in terms of customizing views or filtering data by user groups and device type."
"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."
"If possible, it would be better if they can include vulnerability management for applications."
"The ability to integrate local and cloud technologies to create a hybrid scenario would be an upgrade."
"Technical support should include other languages, such as Spanish or others, as currently it is only available in English."
"In terms of what needs improvement, the web interface should be simplified. It should be more user-friendly. It's too technical."
"Check Point Harmony Mobile is strong but could improve in reducing alert fatigue, sometimes we get too many notifications which can overwhelm users and IT staff."
"The logs are an area with a shortcoming."
"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."
"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."
"However, there is a concern about pricing because Jamf Connect is a separate application that requires additional payment."
"We've had some issues when users restart their devices because the device asks for credentials afterward. Jamf Connect asks for a username, password, and MFA."
"The configuration could be faster."
"Jamf's support could be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Check Point provides a separate license in cases where organizations want to use this only on mobile devices, or laptops/desktops."
"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 Harmony Mobile's pricing is good."
"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."
"When I purchased the product for one of our company's clients, I realized that the price of the product was competitive."
"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 product pricing is reasonable for the security it provides."
"The quality, price, and support ratio are very good."
"The pricing is definitely on the higher side."
"Jamf Connect has a yearly licensing cost, which is expensive."
"The pricing is good."
"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."
"I rate the cost as three out of ten, with ten being the highest."
"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."
