Nasseer Qureshi - PeerSpot reviewer
Ensuring remote work security with effective protection for Mobile device access
Check point harmony mobile is strong but could improve in reducing alert fatigue, sometimes we get too many notification which can overwhelm users and IT staff. Making alerts smarter or more customizable would help focus attention on the most critical threats. Also enhanced reporting with more detailed insights and easier integration with other security tools would be great. In the future versions adding AI-driven threat prediction and automated remediation could take the solution to the next level.
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

"It has been a reliable solution for our organization, significantly improving our mobile device security without excessive maintenance requirements."
"Check Point Harmony Mobile has positively impacted my organization by improving compliance in the customer's environment and helps remind the customer that there is protection on the devices."
"The product's initial setup phase is very straightforward."
"It doesn't allow you to activate some of the applications until your mobile is malware free. That way we come to know that the device secure and only then do we deploy the business application."
"The most impressive thing is the SSL VPN Portal."
"I really like the application scanning feature that scans all of the installed applications, and not only what appears in the add or remove apps, and then reports the results in the console."
"We've found that the product is quite stable."
"Network protection, OS protection, application protection, and file protection are valuable. It is also easy to implement and manage."
"I would rate the product's scalability an eight out of ten."
"Jamf Connect is a pretty simple and straightforward tool overall."
"It is easy to integrate into any existing IT workflow."
"It's a good and stable tool, so you should use it if you have a need."
"The tool supports different types of authentication. It also integrates seamlessly if you are using other Jamf products."
"It's connection with Azure is the most valuable. It is easy to deploy and connect."
"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."
 

Cons

"Compatibility with other Mobile Device Management (MDM) products on the market should be improved, ensuring correct operation between SandBlast Mobile and MDM."
"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."
"It would be super helpful if there were more details around the risks that were found on our mobile devices."
"My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing is that it is very expensive."
"I would quite like to be able to block ads on my phone by blocking known inbound ad websites and services."
"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."
"At times, when configuring policies, the tool takes some time to apply the policy."
"They could make a more beautiful interface."
"The solution's UI could be more user-friendly for the setup process."
"Overall, there is a lack of consistent experience sometimes with some of their features."
"Jamf's support could be improved."
"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."
"Jamf Connect is beginning to implement Multi-Factor Authentication for offline authentication, but the setup documentation is insufficient."
"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."
"The configuration could be faster."
"The solution’s technical support is bad and should be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"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."
"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."
"We pay between 300 and 600 Rupees per year, around seven dollars per month."
"Regarding the cost of licenses, each device consumes one, even if it has both professional and personal profiles."
"Users have to pay a yearly licensing fee for each device, which is cheap."
"Check Point pricing is better than Symantec."
"I rate the tool's pricing a three out of ten."
"The pricing is definitely on the higher side."
"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."
"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."
"It's relatively inexpensive."
"The solution's price is reasonable."
"I rate the cost as three out of ten, with ten being the highest."
