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 passwords have simplified multi-device access and now support flexible user self-service
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. As a technical person, I do not want to see that because these two are separate things and should be kept as separate. After the integration, they removed the menu bar option for the previous users of Jamf Connect, which is odd for the user because they know where they need to click to sync the password or go to the self-service and other options. However, with the integration of Self Service Plus, it is not there. That is a minus point as of now.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"We've found that the product is quite stable."
"The most impressive thing is the SSL VPN Portal."
"One of the features that have given us additional value is being able to encrypt and block how data is shared within cell phones or mobile devices."
"We have applied MFA so that no one can bypass this security and the users/employees can access their resources very easily, securely, and seamlessly."
"Check Point Harmony Mobile has positively impacted my organization by significantly reducing mobile-related incidents, as phishing links, risky app installs, and unsafe network connections are now intercepted before they cause harm."
"Internal applications, data, and folders are published on enrolled mobile devices in a secure way without publishing any of the resources over the internet."
"After deploying Check Point Harmony Mobile, I saw a noticeable drop in mobile-related security alerts, around 30 to 40%, fewer phishing and risky application incidents, and better user awareness."
"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."
"Jamf Connect allowed us to fully customize everything, offering a branded way to change passwords and manage integration with Entra instead of LDAP."
"For those kinds of users, it is an awesome solution because it syncs their password across the devices they are using, which was not the case previously."
"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."
"It is easy to integrate into any existing IT workflow."
"The most valuable feature is the synchronization of passwords with a local password, which works well."
"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."
 

Cons

"One area Check Point Harmony Mobile can improve is the cost for the solution itself, which I find a bit expensive, but other than that, most of it should be okay."
"Harmony Mobile could be improved with increased built-in DLP coverage."
"Support for Check Point Harmony Mobile is only available in English, which is limiting. Support in other languages, such as Spanish, would be preferred."
"The one area where Check Point Harmony Mobile can be improved is cost-wise because compared to other vendors, the cost is a little bit higher."
"We don't have Google MDM being supported by the solution as of yet. It is a feature requirement... They are aware that it is something that I need. My objective is to be able to have the MDM integration and to have some level of control over the asset itself."
"The product needs to improve its user awareness."
"Compatibility with other Mobile Device Management (MDM) products on the market should be improved, ensuring correct operation between SandBlast Mobile and MDM."
"Support for Check Point Harmony Mobile is only available in English, which is limiting. Support in other languages, such as Spanish, would be preferred."
"The solution's UI could be more user-friendly for the setup process."
"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."
"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."
"The solution needs to improve its licensing."
"The solution’s technical support is bad and should be improved."
"Jamf's support could be improved."
"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."
"Overall, there is a lack of consistent experience sometimes with some of their features."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Its cost depends upon the number of users."
"When I purchased the product for one of our company's clients, I realized that the price of the product was competitive."
"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."
"Pricing is a little high."
"We pay between 300 and 600 Rupees per year, around seven dollars per month."
"Check Point Harmony Mobile's pricing is good."
"Check Point pricing is better than Symantec."
"This is a very expensive product."
"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."
"It's relatively inexpensive."
"I rate the cost as three out of ten, with ten being the highest."
"The solution's price is reasonable."
"Jamf Connect has a yearly licensing cost, which is expensive."
"The pricing is definitely on the higher side."
