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.

A market leader that integrates nicely with other McAfee security products and is quite stable
We are just customers and end-users. We are using the most up-to-date version available at this time. I'd advise potential new users that the key thing is to clearly understand what your requirements are and what your use cases are, and both your business requirements, your technical requirements, and your regulatory requirements. It's important to understand all of those. A company needs to clearly understand all the use cases it needs to manage and make sure they do the appropriate due diligence to find a product that can achieve all those requirements and handle all those use cases. It was an extensive process for us. We did about four to six months of paper-based due diligence - not even a field trial - to make that we were picking the right product. We leveraged a lot of outside vendor-neutral sources like Gartner. So far, I'd rate the solution at a nine out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It is a scalable solution. Up to three hundred users are using the solution. I rate the scalability a ten out of ten."
"The easy navigation of the admin portal is a welcome change to how some other admin portals are not very user-friendly."
"Management can see all devices on one panel and easily highlight any devices under threat."
"The usability is the most valuable feature. It's really easy to use. It's a durable solution. I don't have any breaches. It is a good solution from that angle."
"The solution was easy to deploy and provided a useful security enhancement for mobile devices."
"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."
"It is very easy for my company to get information from the product's support team."
"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."
"The product is one of the market leaders, according to Gartner, on mobile protection."
 

Cons

"The product does not provide deep capabilities for sharing specific data to users or groups separately, nor does it provide visibility as to whether a user has access to the data or not."
"They could make a more beautiful interface."
"Also, we found configuring device groups & mapping a policy is quite confusing. There should be a simpler interface."
"In terms of what needs improvement, the web interface should be simplified. It should be more user-friendly. It's too technical."
"The only language that is available is English."
"The solution's false positive detection could be improved to reduce unnecessary alerts, the app's performance optimized to minimize device impact, and policy management simplified for easier deployment."
"At times, when configuring policies, the tool takes some time to apply the policy."
"For SandBlast Mobile, the only thing that is lacking is that it wasn't available for all types of users. However, Check Point has since fixed this, with ZoneAlarm."
"The one thing that I know that they're working on, that's not quite there in the product, is the artificial intelligence aspect."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product pricing is reasonable for the security it provides."
"We pay between 300 and 600 Rupees per year, around seven dollars per month."
"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."
"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."
"The price is not so high. I would rate the pricing a three or four out of ten."
"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."
"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."
