Easy to use with a good dashboard and excellent threat protection
If you want a customized feature, it is generally rejected or takes too much time to integrate. If you face a problem on your console, only R&D from the support team can check the backend of the product. Sometimes this causes delays in solution time. The errors should be more visible to admin users. If you are responsible for regulations such as keeping your corporate important data in your country, this scenario is also possible with this product but sometimes it creates problems with viewing encrypted data.

Supports different authentication and seamlessly integrates with other Jamf products
The product's setup requires a lot of team coordination if your organization is big. We need to create applications in Azure AD and grant permissions so that the authentication process works seamlessly. The product's setup is straightforward and fast and depends on the documentation. The solution's deployment took around 10-15 days to complete.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We have had a lot fewer attacks thanks to this solution."
"Harmony Mobile presents many innovative features."
"First, the granular visibility of apps & traffic which we get through Check Point SandBlast Mobile are good. We can see each & every installed app & information for each app about severity & risk."
"Network protection, OS protection, application protection, and file protection are valuable. It is also easy to implement and manage."
"The most impressive thing is the SSL VPN Portal."
"We've found that the product is quite stable."
"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."
"The ease of use, along with comprehensive protection for all devices, is a key advantage. It provides visibility into malicious applications installed on the phone."
"The most valuable feature is ease of access. It's convenient to do things like resetting passwords. Previously, users were bound to their domain. We had to bind the user to the domain and log them in through the AD. Now, using Jamf Connect, we don't face any of these challenges. Resetting passwords is hassle-free so we can regularly rotate passwords according to best practices."
"Jamf Connect is an identity provider, and once you log in, you will have all the device's access."
"The solution is scalable."
"It's connection with Azure is the most valuable. It is easy to deploy and connect."
"It is easy to integrate into any existing IT workflow."
"The tool supports different types of authentication. It also integrates seamlessly if you are using other Jamf products."
"Jamf Connect is a pretty simple and straightforward tool overall."
"It's a good and stable tool, so you should use it if you have a need."
 

Cons

"Harmony has more support for Android OS as opposed to iOS. You need a third-party MDM solution to integrate with iOS. If you don't have an MDM, your app can't scan on an iOS device. The solution can scan everything on Android. It sees all your apps."
"The project point needs improvement."
"From a user's perspective, of course, it is always better when it is cheaper in price."
"If possible, it would be better if they can include vulnerability management for applications. When a user installs many applications, if there is a way to manage a pack of applications, it would be helpful."
"The errors should be more visible to admin users."
"They could make a more beautiful interface."
"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."
"The deployment in the Android system is very simple but in the case of iOS, it is more complicated so the users require attention from our CAU."
"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."
"The solution needs to improve its licensing."
"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 Connect is beginning to implement Multi-Factor Authentication for offline authentication, but the setup documentation is insufficient."
"The solution's UI could be more user-friendly for the setup process."
"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

"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."
"Pricing is a little high."
"The quality, price, and support ratio are very good."
"When I purchased the product for one of our company's clients, I realized that the price of the product was competitive."
"We pay between 300 and 600 Rupees per year, around seven dollars per month."
"Check Point pricing is better than Symantec."
"Users have to pay a yearly licensing fee for each device, which is cheap."
"This is a very expensive product."
"I rate the cost as three out of ten, with ten being the highest."
"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."
"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."
"It's relatively inexpensive."
"The pricing is definitely on the higher side."
