Check Point Harmony Mobile Reviews

My main use case for Check Point Harmony Mobile is to support some of our power users who, even with the security provided by their laptops, need to access their workspace using mobile phones.

The power users, mostly tech administrators, are accessing sensitive company data and web connections through mobile versions of VPN to log into devices and routers, allowing them to quickly check issues without needing laptops.

The best features Check Point Harmony Mobile offers us include comprehensive threat prevention, which stands out for our team because we often forget to monitor phone activity, leaving us vulnerable to rogue malware and connections to rogue Wi-Fi networks.

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.

While it's more about the convenience, the speed at which support tickets are resolved has improved, marking a noticeable tick in efficiency.

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.

Cost is indeed the main thing I would like to add about the needed improvements.

I have been using Check Point Harmony Mobile for one year.

Check Point Harmony Mobile is stable.

The scalability of Check Point Harmony Mobile depends on the number of users that you have.

My experience with customer support was smooth when I had to reach out to them.

I did not previously use a different solution before Check Point Harmony Mobile.

I have seen a return on investment in the form of time saved, as incidents are now easier to check-in on quickly, leading to reduced time spent fixing issues.

My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing for Check Point Harmony Mobile was smooth.

I did not evaluate other options before choosing Check Point Harmony Mobile.

My advice for others looking into using Check Point Harmony Mobile is that if you're trying to secure a mobile workforce, this is definitely the solution for you, as Check Point is a trusted cybersecurity entity with feature-rich offerings. I rate Check Point Harmony Mobile 10 out of 10.

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.

We used the solution to provide mobile threat defense for mobile devices (predominantly Apple iPhone/iPad). We evaluated numerous solutions from competitors including IBM, Better Mobile, Trend Micro, and others. Check Point is attractive since they are a market-leading firewall vendor and therefore we trust their filtering in terms of web and link protection beyond others who may rely on smaller or third-party feeds. We also found that the breadth of protections including app analysis and WiFi spoofing validation were helpful.

The solution was easy to deploy and provided a useful security enhancement for mobile devices. It allowed us to extend filtering technologies that we would generally expect to be available within an edge firewall to mobile devices - such as web content filtering and URL protection. With the prevalence of mobile phishing (including SMS phish which circumvents email filters), we felt that this was a useful security layer. Check Point is also a provider that we felt we could trust when adding products to our security stack.

The integration with Microsoft Intune scoped to the security group made deployment a breeze. Certainly, once the initial configuration was in place the process was smooth and devices began to appear in the Check Point Harmony portal automatically. Adding web and link protection was considered to be a valuable security enhancement and is a key benefit of using mobile threat defense. The fact that the product can also highlight changes in public IP addresses for known corporate WiFi SSIDs also helps to alert or prevent spoofing of internal WiFi networks.

We had some issues with loopback VPN DNS filtering stopping working periodically, however, this is something that we could probably iron out with support. In the end, we ended up disabling this feature and using Umbrella (which we also use). It is of course highly possible that we could have addressed this with their support team but in our scenario, it was easier to disable the functionality and run with a separate product that we already had available. Certainly, everything else worked fine and the alerts were very useful.

I first used the solution several years ago.

We had no stability issues with the solution save for the periodic VPN loopback internet outages with iOS agents that I'm sure could be resolved with support.

We don't foresee any obvious limits with the scalability of the solution for all but the largest of organizations.

Support engineers were friendly and communicable.

Positive

We had previously trialed better mobile but the minimum onboarding/barrier of entry costs were too steep. We are also more familiar with the Check Point brand. We've also used Trend Micro before yet found the feature set for iOS devices to be slim.

The solution has a straightforward setup - especially with Intune integration.

We did an in-house implementation.

ROI is impossible to compute.

Setup and recurring costs seemed reasonable and in line with other Check Point products.

We did evaluate IBM, Trend Micro, Better Mobile, and others.

One of the main reasons why the implementation of Check Point Harmony Mobile was chosen was due to the fact that we needed a tool that had control and monitoring over mobile devices. Harmony Mobile provided us with that functionality. In this way, we were able to close a security gap that was affecting our organization. 

With this solution, users could connect to the organization and access the corporate data and thus comply with a more secure standard. 

Each mobile has applied policies through the Harmony Mobile panel and control the access

One of the great improvements that Harmony Mobile gave us is that it was possible to protect the mobile devices of each one of the users and thus not depend on the users to implement adequate security themselves. With a simple mistake or moment of carelessness, a user can accidentally cause great damage to sensitive company information.

With Harmony Mobile, users do not worry. It transmits all the security to this tool. Currently, with what has been happening in the world with Covid, many workers are working from home and with this solution, we can limit third-party access to devices.

It's important for it to have the main functions of Mobile Device Management (MDM), such as task automation, automatic application updates, they should also improve compatibility with other mobile device management (MDM) products on the market, ensuring correct operation between SandBlast Mobile and MDM. It's important for Point Harmony Mobile to be included in a broader offering so that it is not just a standalone product.

Harmony Mobile introduces many innovative features. One of them is URL filtering, which is very valuable in this tool. It offers to filter apps, protect privacy, and reject malicious or unauthorized downloads. It allows us to get an idea of how it protects the application through certain security levels that are threats, network applications and devices. Its administration and configuration is very simple. It is easy to use with its friendly interface, the solutions helped a lot to the security of the company.

Harmony Mobile is one of the first tools that we implemented in the organization when we entered into the protection of mobile devices. For many years all our staff did not have any restrictions on mobile devices. 

An improvement would be the compatibility of linking local and cloud solutions to create a hybrid scenario. They should allow adding a SIEM for additional functions. That said, in relation to the characteristics that it currently presents, it satisfactorily complies with the security of mobile devices.

One of the improvements that can be made is that they become compatible with Google MDM. 

When it comes to scanning the network, sometimes my SSI ID does not appear; it would also be a great plus if they could make a unified console where you can manage several Check Point products and thus not be opening different consoles to manage different products.

I have been using about three years..

The stability of the product is very good and it generates an excellent amount of monitoring reports.

It is a very scalable tool.

With the support, we have had good and bad experiences. Sometimes they take time to respond. Sometimes they give an accurate solution to the error presented.

Positive

A mobile device solution had not previously been implemented.

One of the parts that worried us was its configuration and administration, however, it was extremely simple.

The installation was done with a seller who demonstrated his ability and handling of the tool.

The investment made with this tool is very good. The information will be guaranteed, therefore, every penny invested is a good investment.

The cost is affordable. It competes with other technologies and the installation is easy to implement.

We have not opted for other technologies since we have implemented the Check Point line into our company.

It is a good tool that can be implemented in the organization and be sure that it will protect your mobile devices.

Our primary use case for the product is to secure corporate mobile devices, particularly those containing critical information or used by VIPs within our organization.

The platform's app scanning feature is valuable as it checks app reliability and identifies potential security risks, which is crucial for maintaining secure mobile environments.

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.

I have been using Check Point Harmony Mobile for approximately one and a half years.

The platform is scalable for larger organizations, but customization complexities in policy management can make deployment more challenging for extensive device quantity.

We used other security solutions previously but switched to Check Point Harmony Mobile due to its comprehensive feature set and reputation for effective mobile security.

The setup was relatively straightforward but could be challenging for less technically inclined users due to policy customization requirements.

We implemented the product with the help of our internal team, leveraging our cybersecurity and mobile device management expertise.

The improved security and reduced maintenance overhead contribute to a positive return on investment for our organization.

The product pricing is reasonable for the security it provides. 

We evaluated several alternatives, including SentinelOne and CrowdStrike, but ultimately chose Harmony Mobile for its robust security features and ease of deployment.

Harmony Mobile has significantly enhanced our mobile device security by effectively scanning apps for reliability, monitoring network connections for threats, and ensuring data protection.

It has been a reliable solution for our organization, significantly improving our mobile device security without excessive maintenance requirements.

I rate it a nine out of ten. 

Many clients have the product on their Android and iOS cell phones.

The product's VPN solution is super efficient, and our clients highly value ransomware protection on mobile. These two features are probably the most valuable aspects of this product. Check Point Harmony Mobile responds very fast to any cybersecurity attack. With that product, your mobile response is super fast.

It's very intuitive and allows fast deployment on many devices. Recently, the platform has become easier to configure and implement. It's a very good platform and very easy to use.

Some areas that could be improved with Check Point Harmony Mobile include embedding SD-WAN in mobile device products. Our clients are interested in this feature, so it could be a good idea if Check Point Harmony Mobile includes it in the mobile product.

I have been using the product for 15 years. 

The solution's stability is very good; I rate it a ten out of ten. 

The product's scalability is good. We may have some problems with some MDMs, such as I don't remember the brand of the MDM. We have also had many problems with delivering or installing the product. But it's easy and fast to implement or set up for our clients.

We require a tool that could control and monitor mobile devices, which was one of the primary factors in our decision to adopt Check Point Harmony Mobile. With this tool, we had that capability. We were able to shut down a security hole that was harming our company. The user can connect to the company and access corporate data via this technology, enabling them to adhere to a more secure standard. With the help of the Harmony Mobile panel, each mobile has implemented policies that govern access. It is used by us to control mobile connections. It is a cloud-based solution that is installed on Check Point's cloud.

Prior to having this solution, our users were vulnerable to infections of any kind on tablets and mobile devices used for business. We have reduced these dangers by utilizing Harmony Mobile's security, which helps both the user and the administrator. With the help of Check Point Harmony, mobile users also have the same level of protection as the business's computers and laptops do and users are also secure to use on both iOS and Android. Observe Point Mobile devices used by employees are protected from dangerous software and attacks on their network or operating system.

Check Point's Sandblast Mobile solution integrates with Mobile Device Management and supports Android and iOS operating systems. Two profiles are created for each mobile device when it is configured. There are two types of profiles - personal and professional - and various security guidelines can be applied to each. 

Real-time scanning is only one of the amazing capabilities offered by this tool. 

The simple navigation offered by the graphical user interface is excellent. 

We value the centralization it brings about.

The tool is excellent for security purposes, and it gives a lot of information. That said, there needs to be some improvement in everything related to administration and assistance. 

The ability to integrate local and cloud technologies to create a hybrid scenario would be an upgrade. 

Making this tool compatible with Google MDM is one of the enhancements that must be made. 

The increased load on an outdated terminal, which slows them down, is another item to consider. 

It would be preferable if they could incorporate application vulnerability management.

This solution is required for one of the internal needs of our organization. We need the product based on our need for the control of access to corporate resources. We were looking for a solution that allows us to generate the management of mobile network devices and something that could secure all systems in the best way possible, thus giving us a solution that allows for general device management. With this product, our organization will be able to monitor and control the devices used by each of our employees in the organization, which gives us an level of adequate security configuration and allows us to comply with internal policies.

As a security solution for devices, it can benefit us in many ways, including providing us with data security, access control, network security, and more. The kinds of features on offer provide us with confidential access to information, ensuring each of the different devices is protected while improving the productivity of employees. In summary, this solution can help us protect business resources in the best way possible, which can be translated into efficient and profitable security.

A very important feature that is outstanding and helps our organization is the ability to protect the business data stored on each device. This is especially important since these devices are used to create information, catalogs, products, customer information, and inventory. Every time they are outside the company, the solution provides us with a secure connection from the devices to the database, thereby keeping data safe. In addition, we can improve the productivity of each of the employees remotely. This benefits to the company in terms of sales or productivity even from different locations. 

One thing that should be improved in the future of the ability to ensure that mobile devices are protected from connections in environments with unlimited connectivity. 

In some cases, devices may be found in areas with little or no signal, which can make it difficult to connect to the network. That makes it difficult to use the solution. We ned to ensue we have something that allows users to work effectively even without a strong network connection. This would allow us to have a solution that adapts to the challenged presented by limited connection environments.

I've used the solution for one year.
