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

"Internal applications, data, and folders are published on enrolled mobile devices in a secure way without publishing any of the resources over the internet."
"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 solution has clients for both Android and Apple devices, so all of our employees' devices are protected."
"It is a modern technology that really combats today's cyber threats on mobile devices."
"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."
"The simple navigation offered by the graphical user interface is excellent."
"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."
"Check Point Harmony Mobile has positively impacted my organization by simplifying IT operations, allowing quick check-ins without needing laptops, which provides peace of mind, knowing it's safe."
"Jamf Connect has quite a nice interface, and the password synchronization and SSO elements are particularly good."
"It is easy to integrate into any existing IT workflow."
"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."
"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."
"Jamf Connect is very simple for us to use, and it is oriented towards productivity."
"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."
"The solution is scalable."
"Jamf Connect is a pretty simple and straightforward tool overall."
 

Cons

"The remote configuration has room for improvement."
"The ability to integrate local and cloud technologies to create a hybrid scenario would be an upgrade."
"It could expand the functionalities to, in addition to security functionality, incorporate Mobile Device Management (MDM) functionalities such as remote device management, administration of installed applications, etc."
"I think that the pricing for the Check Point products should be reconsidered, as we found it to be quite expensive to purchase and to maintain."
"The interface could be more user-friendly. They should improve the look and feel."
"The area that I find could use the most improvement would be in the forensics section of the administrator console."
"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."
"Harmony Mobile could be improved with increased built-in DLP coverage."
"We have faced issues with the product's configuration. If we use the tool with other business manager solutions, then there is the issue of naming conventions. The tool needs to be careful with newer updates so that it doesn't break any of the existing configurations."
"User training has room for improvement. This improvement would benefit from more documentation, and I would appreciate seeing more automation pieces as well."
"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."
"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."
"Overall, there is a lack of consistent experience sometimes with some of their features."
"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."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Check Point pricing is better than Symantec."
"Pricing is a little high."
"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."
"I rate the tool's pricing a three out of ten."
"Check Point provides a separate license in cases where organizations want to use this only on mobile devices, or laptops/desktops."
"The product pricing is reasonable for the security it provides."
"The price is not so high. I would rate the pricing a three or four out of ten."
"The pricing is good."
"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."
"It's relatively inexpensive."
"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."
"The solution's price is reasonable."
"Jamf Connect has a yearly licensing cost, which is expensive."
