My main use case for Check Point Harmony Mobile is that we use it on our employee mobile phones to protect from zero-day malware and other sorts of viruses.

The best features that Check Point Harmony Mobile offers are that it's very lightweight, the invisibility of the product to the end user is good, the threat detection and prevention is excellent, and it supports both Android and iOS.

Check Point Harmony Mobile has positively impacted my organization by achieving a decrease in 50% in the cyber attacks.

The overall protection contributed most to that 50% decrease.

Check Point Harmony Mobile can be improved in terms of the reporting.

I would like to see improved speed, overall speed, and customization in the reporting.

I have been using Check Point Harmony Mobile for six months.

The customer support is pretty good.

I did not previously use a different solution.

My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing is that it is very expensive.

Before choosing Check Point Harmony Mobile, I evaluated other options like CrowdStrike, Cisco, and Ivanti.

The advice I would give to others looking into using Check Point Harmony Mobile is to guarantee requirements.

My company is just a customer without any business relationship with this vendor other than being a customer.

I was not offered a gift card or incentive for this review.

I have no additional thoughts about Check Point Harmony Mobile before we wrap up.

On a scale of one to ten, I would rate Check Point Harmony Mobile an eight.

My main use case for Check Point Harmony Mobile is that many users rely on mobile devices as a first point of attack, and it is very important to secure mobile and endpoints because mobile users take them home, conduct personal activities, and bring them back to the company without any security checks. Check Point Harmony Mobile is the best solution to secure user mobile devices and company data.

I do not have any additional information about my main use case or unique challenges my organization faces with mobile security; we are simply trying out this product.

Check Point Harmony Mobile has positively impacted my organization so far because we began using it very recently and need more time to observe the results.

Since I am still early in the process, I have noticed some initial benefits or feedback from users, even if they are minor changes. We have observed that some users have pirated applications, which has helped us to gain visibility into what is happening on user devices.

The best features Check Point Harmony Mobile offers in my experience so far are that our help desk team can view and check it for visibility.

This visibility has helped our team in day-to-day operations because we can guide our employees if they are doing something wrong or have applications that may compromise company data.

Check Point Harmony Mobile can be improved, but I do not wish for any changes as I think it is perfect.

I do not wish to add more about needed improvements or features that could be enhanced in the future; the product is good.

I have been using Check Point Harmony Mobile for around six months.

Check Point Harmony Mobile is stable because I have not experienced any crashes or major issues.

In my experience, Check Point Harmony Mobile's scalability can handle growing numbers of devices easily.

Negative

I previously used Quick Heal antivirus for mobile security, and we switched to Check Point Harmony Mobile because of that solution's limitations.

I have not seen a return on investment so far because I think it is too early to say.

My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing for Check Point Harmony Mobile is that pricing can be a little bit lower, which would be good because other antivirus solutions are significantly cheaper.

The advice I would give to others looking into Check Point Harmony Mobile is to get a proof of concept done to gain more clarity and understanding about the product.

My company does not have a business relationship with this vendor other than being a customer because we are not a partner.

I found this interview good and I do not think anything needs to change for the future.

My overall review rating for Check Point Harmony Mobile is 6.

We use Check Point Harmony Mobile to provide secure access for our remote workers, including employees working from home and those traveling. It allows them to connect to our internal network and applications securely, regardless of their location. We also use it for our branch offices to connect back to our central network.

We have seen a significant reduction in security incidents, particularly phishing attacks and malware infections. Check Point Harmony Mobile's advanced threat prevention capabilities have been very effective in blocking these threats. We also appreciate the consistent security policies we can now enforce, no matter where our users are connecting from. Overall, we are very satisfied with Check Point Harmony Mobile. It has significantly improved our security posture and simplified our remote access management.

The cost is a bit high. While it is worth the investment given the increased security and improved user experience, it is definitely a significant expense.

We have not had many complaints from our users about performance issues.

There were a few initial hiccups with certain applications, but Check Point Harmony Mobile support helped us resolve those quickly.

Positive

The deployment was straightforward.

Overall, we are very satisfied with Check Point Harmony Mobile. It has significantly improved our security posture and simplified our remote access management. I would rate the solution 9 out of 10.

I use the solution in my company so that whoever the mobile users are and those who use the corporate applications, we can secure communication from the corporate application to the outside network. My company uses Check Point Harmony Mobile through the browser to secure our applications, as well as to secure the communication between customers and other users.

The most effective features of the product stem from its ability to deal with areas like data security and application security while also being useful to users who use mobiles in roaming mode and those who use a personal mobile phone with corporate applications in it.

At times, when configuring policies, the tool takes some time to apply the policy. If I configure a new policy and apply it to the management console, it may take time. The product should work on policy enforcement so that users can quickly enforce the policies within a fraction of a second.

I have been using Check Point Harmony Mobile for three years.

Stability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten. Some customers of the tool face some issues in their environment with respect to policy enforcement.

It is a very easily scalable solution. 

My company deals with a very limited set of customers of the product. The tool's competitors have been very aggressive with the mobile browser part, especially the ones offering MDM solutions. Those who use firewall products from Check Point are very happy to acquire and use Check Point Harmony Mobile.

As and when required, the solution's technical support helps users with troubleshooting. The solution's technical support is good, and it responds quickly.

The product's initial setup phase is very straightforward.

For the product's deployment phase, you just need to install the agent to the end user and configure the policy on the cloud management console.

The solution's deployment phase is a one-day task.

In terms of ROI, the product helps secure your application, mobile, and data.

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. There is a separate team that handles the pricing part of the product, and depending on the customers or order quantity they handle, I believe that 60 or 70 percent discounts on the prices are offered. There are no additional costs attached to the product.

The tool helped prevent potential security threats whenever some users communicate from their mobile with someone outside our company since, at such a time, the product secures the communication as well as the data. With the tool, no confidential data goes outside from the inside of our company. Our company can block data leakage from mobile phones to the outside environment of our organization.

The threat detection and response capabilities of the tool benefit the company in scenarios where a user wants to send out some confidential data outside the company through the browser, which would not be possible If the organization uses Check Point Harmony Mobile. The tool shows how our company can secure the user, as well as how we can prevent data leakage from the inside to the outside of the organization.

The product provides users with ease of management. It is a simple tool that allows users to configure some of the policies for a user or a user-based group and apply them to the solution.

According to Gartner's website, the tool's stability and support as a security provider places it in the leader category.

The tool helps respond to emerging corporate threats, especially those who use corporate applications on their personal devices. If you want to secure your corporate applications, you have to adopt Check Point Harmony Mobile.

If you use corporate applications on your personal mobile device and you want to secure your applications and data, then you have to use Check Point Harmony Mobile.

I rate the tool a nine out of ten.

With this, the company has been able to give many users access to the infrastructure of the company from their mobile phones. Several types of applications are used that must connect to the company network which accesses sensitive information. This has helped a lot to improve efficiency in day-to-day operations and be able to reach more customers. In addition, it has provided us with better administration of all devices and has them organized by security policies depending on the area where each employee works.

This tool has helped us at various points in our organization. For example, we can have better control over each device that accesses the infrastructure network. We can also reach and process orders, and solutions faster, or be able to consult data in real-time from mobile phones. We can work from anywhere in the country. 

With Harmony Mobile, we have been able to provide additional security to our network. 

In addition, it provides a detailed summary of each of the operations from where they access what they access and this has helped us a lot in the audit that they do so we can provide accurate and concise information.

The tool is excellent, however, it has some features that stand out a lot, for example, it has a very intuitive interface. 

The search capacity allows you to find information quickly and concisely. 

It generates reports and precise analysis, quickly in real-time allowing the technology department to focus. 

We can automate many of the tasks. 

It has notifications and reminders that help us be aware of each event or vulnerability that may arise in our organization.

The tool is very effective and proactive, I don't have much to say about the improvements it should have. It already has a very intuitive interface. Yet they should improve the order of each of the options a little since it is difficult to get used to the location of each one. They should rearrange each of the options since time is wasted finding each one.

They could make a more beautiful interface.

When an update is going to be done, it should be less heavy and should streamline operations.

In the last six years, I have been able to use, buy, and implement this tool for the mobile security of companies that are supporting BYD with their officials.

It has very good stability - if it weren't for the updates that sometimes loop.

Scalability is one of the high points that the tool has.

Support is sometimes very slow.

Positive

The company did not have any tools previously.

The first implementation was difficult since the tool has a fairly high learning curve.

The seller helped us do the implementation and part of the configuration. They gave us the training to be able to make the tool Russian.

The ROI is slow to appear, however, they will provide security to all the company's information.

The tools are a little expensive, however, it is worth making that investment for the installation and it has a medium learning curve.

Some tools were evaluated including:

• Akamai
• Mobile Threat Defense
• Palo Alto

It is a very useful tool for mobile security, thus providing security to the entire company.

After the pandemic, most organizations started working remotely and accessed corporate data from their mobile devices. This increased the risk of breaches from mobile attack surfaces. This product covers all mobile security subjects such as application security, network security, file security, and OS/Device protection. 

You can cover all attack vectors with Harmony Mobile. It is a good add on top of MDM solutions. Harmony Movie can detect jailbreaking and rooting techniques. Also, it can protect you from the latest phishing and zero-day phishing attacks.

If organizations distribute mobile devices to their employees and care about user privacy and experience, they should definitely consider how they can secure the devices. Harmony Mobile is the answer to all the things I have mentioned so far. 

It helps employees become aware of mobile security risks with detailed real-time notifications. It has given detailed visibility for threats and created awareness for improvements. The dashboard is very easy to use and deployment is quite easy for mobile devices.

First of all cloud-based management is easy to use and you never deal with software upgrades. If you want to use another product from Check Point you can still use the same management console. 

This product is difficult to explain if people are not mature enough for mobile security. Sometimes people think if they use MDM solutions they also cover mobile security, however, the fact is not like that. 

Mobile security needs effort from the admins because it is a continuous process. You can block infected devices from accessing corporate data.

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.

I have been giving technical support to this product for more than five years. 

It should have 100% uptime for the product and is very minimal for false positives. So far it has been a smooth experience.

Scalability is very easy. You can start small and increase after a while. 

Customer service is generally good, however, sometimes if the problem is related to the backend, it can take some time to fix it.

Neutral

Check Point Harmony is the first solution we used.

If you are using all products as cloud, implementations are very easy. However, if you want to use on-premise for regulation purposes, the implementation becomes a little complex. You need to install a connector on your environment to encrypt the data in the cloud.

We generally provide installation support for customers. There is no need for a vendor team. 

It is always worth it if you do not want to face a breach and lose prestige.

You can start small if you want and then increase the license count. Also, most of the time organization needs to change every year so scalability is important.

After trying Check Point Harmony, we did not need to try something else.

My main use case for Check Point Harmony Mobile is for securing mobile devices and remote workers.

A specific example of how I use Check Point Harmony Mobile is when the customer receives a company phone. To protect such phone because it might contain sensitive information, it is installed with Check Point Harmony Mobile, which keeps the phone safe for most of the time and allows security on the phone.

All features are very fundamental because they are a core protection that every single customer and device should have, especially sensitive devices such as phones that can be used for malicious intent if not protected correctly.

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 weakest link is not the software itself, but the person using the device.

Troubleshooting on Check Point Harmony Mobile is quite difficult because the logs are not located in the cloud, but they are on the local device. If there is an issue, you need to retrieve the logs from the device itself, which requires user availability.

I have been using Check Point Harmony Mobile for a few months.

Check Point Harmony Mobile is stable because I never received any request for troubleshooting other than the one I mentioned previously.

The scalability of Check Point Harmony Mobile can handle a growing number of devices or users easily, depending on the licensing pool.

I had to reach out to customer support for Check Point Harmony Mobile recently to understand better where the log location was, and they replied with the correct SK procedure.

Positive

I am not aware if I evaluated other options before choosing Check Point Harmony Mobile.

I am not aware if I previously used a different solution before Check Point Harmony Mobile.

I am not aware if I have seen a return on investment from using Check Point Harmony Mobile.

Check Point Harmony Mobile is deployed in my organization in the public cloud.

I use the Check Point provider for the cloud.

I rate Check Point Harmony Mobile a seven out of ten.

We use the solution in the hospitality and aviation domains.

Harmony Mobile is a unified security solution for user devices and internet connections. It protects devices from sophisticated attacks, including malware, and implements Zero Trust Access for comprehensive security.

The solution should improve passive scanning and provide regular updates. Also, during business hours, users should not experience any slowdown on their devices. 

I have been using Harmony Mobile for four years.

I rate the solution’s stability an eight out of ten.

The scalability is very good. We have to take the perpetual license, etc., to expand headcounts. It is suitable for medium to enterprise businesses.

I rate the solution’s scalability a nine out of ten.

Support is good and available 24/7.

Positive

The solution requires a one-time setup, which is on cloud. We must enable inbound configurations by setting up the server. This server should be associated with the Check Point management server, from which we can push policies. We have similar software solutions, such as CrowdStrike and CloudStack, that offer robust security features. In addition, we use products from McAfee and Symantec, among other security vendors. I am working with multiple vendors and organizations, including Microsoft's security solutions.

Once it is designed and discussed, the server will be implemented in about one week, depending on the situation and various factors, such as the number of Harmony users.

The tool provides powerful and good features, making it easy to do business.

The product pricing is moderate.

Harmony Mobile is highly effective for protecting mobile devices. Much information and data are shared over the cloud using mobile devices and laptops. Many mobile attacks target devices without robust security features, making them vulnerable to malicious files and bots. However, if a device is configured with Check Point Harmony Protection, these threats, including encrypted and malicious files, will be detected and neutralized based on the configuration settings. This protection ensures the safety of business data and other critical information. Additionally, Harmony Mobile is easy to install and requires minimal intervention on mobile devices, making it a very effective security solution.

Nowadays, everything is integrated with AI, which benefits various use cases and users. For example, if a malicious code is detected by the device, it should send an alert message to the user. Harmony Mobile can notify the user by saying, "Malicious code detected. Please take appropriate action." This kind of artificial intelligence support ensures that even if users do not see the message, they can be alerted through a voice message. 

We recommend the solution.

Overall, I rate the solution a nine out of ten.

The most valuable features of the solution are threat emulation, threat extraction, URL detection, antimalware, antivirus, and IPS. Check Point Harmony Mobile is a good option for users who want only incoming and outgoing traffic security for their Android and iOS devices.

Check Point Harmony Mobile lacks MDM capabilities, which are present in other MDM products, like IBM Security MaaS360, AirWatch, and Google Workspace.

Check Point Harmony Mobile is a stable solution.

I rate the solution a nine out of ten for stability.

Around two to three customers are using Check Point Harmony Mobile.

I rate the solution’s scalability a six out of ten.

The technical support team's response time should be faster. Also, the engineers should come up with a proper solution plan, which is currently missing.

I have previously worked with Azure MDM, IBM Security MaaS360, and VMware AirWatch. The solution has better threat detection capabilities and catch rates than other mobile security vendors.

The solution’s deployment takes around five minutes. To deploy the solution, you need to deploy the agent to the endpoint Android. It will then be listed in the Infinity portal, and you can start configuring.

You need to download the agent from the Infinity portal, put it on your mobile, install it, and activate it. It will be reflected in the Infinity portal, and you can then configure the policy.

Check Point Harmony Mobile can help you with regulation compliance. Customers will secure all infrastructure that belongs to them because they are managing that infrastructure. However, they don't have any control over mobile devices connected to their network. Any threats to those particular devices can also affect your infrastructure if they are connected without any protection.

Check Point Harmony Mobile will ensure the device is clean in such cases. Even if the device gets connected to your infrastructure, there won't be any infection or any impact happening to your infrastructure.

Users have to pay a yearly licensing fee for each device, which is cheap.

Check Point Harmony Mobile is not so attractive and provides security only for mobile devices. Customers can use Check Point Harmony Mobile to secure their mobile devices, such as Android or Mac smartphones. However, it has less capability than an MDM (Mobile device management).

Check Point Harmony Mobile has a good advantage in terms of security posture and security threat detection and prevention. Check Point Harmony Mobile will help prevent 99% of attacks on mobile devices. It is easy to manage Check Point Harmony Mobile.

People bring their own devices and connect them to all the other unwanted networks. This causes traffic to flow to these devices from any network source, such as Wi-Fi, LAN, or other public networks. Deploying Check Point Harmony Mobile can ensure the endpoint is sanitized and clean for use at home and the workplace.

Overall, I rate the solution a six out of ten.
