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

"Harmony Mobile presents many innovative features."
"Check Point Harmony Mobile's app and device risk assessment capabilities have significantly influenced my mobile security strategy."
"The best part of Check Point Harmony Mobile is its ability to deliver real-time on-device threat detection without compromising device performance."
"It is very easy for my company to get information from the product's support team."
"With the Check Point Harmony Mobile solution, we have been able to protect users' mobile terminals, both Android and iOS, from the various attacks they suffered."
"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."
"Harmony Mobile's most valuable feature is the variety of capabilities in the platform, including allowing you to track device status."
"Check Point Harmony Mobile proactively blocks these threats before they reach the user, which has improved the overall security posture."
"Jamf Connect allowed us to fully customize everything, offering a branded way to change passwords and manage integration with Entra instead of LDAP."
"It's a good and stable tool, so you should use it if you have a need."
"Jamf Connect is an identity provider, and once you log in, you will have all the device's access."
"Jamf Connect is very simple for us to use, and it is oriented towards productivity."
"The most valuable feature of Jamf Connect is the dual login screen, which has simplified the login process and eliminated the need for users to enter their password multiple times."
"The tool supports different types of authentication. It also integrates seamlessly if you are using other Jamf products."
"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 the synchronization of passwords with a local password, which works well."
 

Cons

"In distribution centers where Android devices with version 4.4.0 used, the solution gives many errors."
"If possible, it would be better if they can include vulnerability management for applications."
"The interface could be more user-friendly. They should improve the look and feel."
"The ability to integrate local and cloud technologies to create a hybrid scenario would be an upgrade."
"The only language that is available is English."
"The solution should improve passive scanning and provide regular updates. Also, during business hours, users should not experience any slowdown on their devices."
"While it's great, there's always room for improvement. Adding capabilities for automatic deployment in an enterprise environment would be useful."
"Compatibility with other Mobile Device Management (MDM) products on the market should be improved, ensuring correct operation between SandBlast Mobile and MDM."
"The configuration could be faster."
"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."
"Overall, there is a lack of consistent experience sometimes with some of their features."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Pricing is a little high."
"Check Point Harmony Mobile's pricing is good."
"The price is not so high. I would rate the pricing a three or four out of ten."
"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."
"Choosing the correct set of licenses is essential because, without the additional software blade licenses, the Check Point gateways are just a stateful firewall."
"The cost is huge compared to other products, and it seems this solution is only for companies with a large budget."
"We pay between 300 and 600 Rupees per year, around seven dollars per month."
"Jamf Connect has a yearly licensing cost, which is expensive."
"It's relatively inexpensive."
"The pricing is definitely on the higher side."
"The solution's price is reasonable."
"The pricing is 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."
"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."
"I rate the cost as three out of ten, with ten being the highest."
