Check Point Harmony Mobile Reviews

If you're looking for ways to ensure that your mobile is phishing-free and malware-free, then Harmony Mobile is a good choice.

The feature I find the most valuable is the confirmation of all the apps on your mobile, which is clean.

In Harmony Mobile mobile, there is a part for network protection and it actually affects some Messenger apps. For example, in the LINE app, you can receive important messages from friends if you turn on the option in the default settings.

I have been using Harmony Mobile for about two years.

The solution is stable. I have not had any downtime while using it. The management server only controls the policy changes, so even if the management is down, the app works.

It is a scalable solution.

The technical support is great. I would give it an eight out of ten.

Positive

The initial setup was quite easy for me. It was deployed within one day.

I think that the pricing is neither cheap nor expensive. I would say it's average.

Overall, I would rate the solution a seven out of ten just because I think that certain aspects could be improved.

I use Harmony Mobile integrated with our MDM platform to manage mobile devices.

Harmony Mobile's most valuable feature is the variety of capabilities in the platform, including allowing you to track device status.

Harmony Mobile could be improved with increased built-in DLP coverage.

I've been using Check Point Harmony Mobile for two and a half years.

Harmony Mobile is stable.

Harmony Mobile is scalable.

The initial setup is easy, and deployment takes just a couple of minutes.

We used an in-house team.

I also evaluated VMware AirWatch, but I find Harmony Mobile to be a better solution.

Because of its ease of use and the coverage you get for the blurred boundary of mobile devices, Harmony Mobile gives you coverage whether you're using a BYOD, COPE, or COBO framework. I would give Harmony Mobile a rating of nine out of ten.

We primarily use the solution for mobile threat defense. We protect our mobile devices with it, due to the fact that SandBlast Mobile detects phishing, malware, et cetera, and all mobile devices.

What I like is that the user experience of your mobile device is not compromised by SandBlast Mobile. The end-user doesn't see anything like an extra app on your device. The app is working in the background, scanning for all kinds of cyberattacks, and seeking out phishing, malware, bots, et cetera. 

Once something is detected, the end-user gets an alert, and can immediately command an action. When they go to open, let's say, a phishing e-mail, they get an alert that says something to the effect of "Beware, this is a phishing mail. Don't open it." The user has the possibility then to open it, however, it would be quite foolish to do so when they are told not to do it. The app gives you very good warnings in terms of malicious attacks.

There is good integration with mobile device management systems.

There is a potential for reporting if you need it.

The solution scales very well.

We've found that the product is quite stable.

Technical support is helpful.

From my perspective, it's a very good product. I can't recall a moment where I thought a feature was missing.

It would be ideal if, one day, this product was bundled into a larger offering so that it's not just a standalone product.

I've been using the solution for three years at this point. It's not so long.

The stability is okay. We haven't had any issues with bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. It's reliable.

In terms of scalability, you can use it very well within an organization. YOu can use it with five devices or a hundred thousand devices. Worldwide, it's used by millions of devices. The scalability potential, therefore, is huge. It's no problem at all if an organization needs to scale it.

Technical support is very good. They are very quick as well. It's fairly easy to talk with them when needed, however, truthfully, you don't need regularly. It works very well as a product. You rarely need to deal with technical support.

From a user's perspective, of course, it is always better when it is cheaper in price. That said, it is a fair price. it's not overly expensive. We find it very reasonable. After all, when you get hit with ransomware or some other malicious program, it can be extremely expensive and comes at a great cost to the company.

We're both a reseller as well as an end-user of the solution. We're partners with Check Point.

The product is in the SaaS environment.

I'd recommend the solution. With cybersecurity on the rise due to COVID, and people working on devices from home, off secure networks, it's important to protect your devices, now more than ever. I'd advise that organizations look at this solution and consider implementing it.

I'd rate the solution nine out of ten.

However, if this solution is right for a company depends on the environment. The capability of the standalone product is very good. 

When there's a supplier who buys Check Point SandBlast Mobile and incorporates it into their larger solution, I will give it a ten out of ten. Then you have a solution that really fits not only your mobile devices but also the security part of your organization. While, right now, it's a great standalone product, there's a lot of possibilities for it when it integrates with a larger security offering.

Having the Check Point SandBlast Mobile application installed is mandatory for any smartphone or tablet PC provided to the employees by our company, and for any BYOD device if it is going to be connected to the corporate network. Currently, there are about 500 devices that are running on both Android and Apple devices. 

We decided not to self-host the management center, and onboarded the cloud management solution provided by the Check Point. This runs in their own datacenter, with the SLA provided.

Before implementing the Check Point SandBlast Mobile, we didn't have any mandatory security software being installed on the corporate mobile devices, and it was a huge security gap we needed to close ASAP because smartphones and tablets are connected to the office Wi-Fi networks on a daily basis, and to the corporate VPN resources occasionally (depending on the user's access level). 

The implementation of the Check Point SandBlast Mobile, as the centralized security solution for the mobile devices, improved the overall security of our network by providing the additional protecting layer on the user devices. 

The management overhead is minimal since there is a central management point, where all the policies are configured and then pushed to the smartphones and tablets when they are online.

1. The solution has clients for both Android and Apple devices, so all of our employees' devices are protected.
2. The client allows us to detect the rooting/jailbreaking of the OS and prevents the connection of such devices to the corporate network VPN.
3. The client detects and prevents the various types of the phishing attacks, malicious sites in the browsers, and checks them with the help of the Check Point database (ThreatCloud).
4. The centralized management portal is rich in configuration options, monitoring, reporting capabilities.

1. Some of our employees reported slow performance of the application on the old Android devices (Android version 2.4 and less), but I think it is mostly connected with the poor hardware resources on the older devices.
   
2. The feature set between the Android and Apple devices is not fully equal. For example, with Android, it is possible to configure in the policy the file system tampering and keylogging and credential theft detection options. This is unavailable for the Apple devices. I don't think it is the fault of Check Point, but rather restrictions based on the different operating system capabilities. Nonetheless, I would like the policies to be more alike.

We have been using Check Point SandBlast Mobile for about two years.

The clients for both Android and Apple operating systems are stable and mature.

The solution is scalable. Now we manage about 500 devices and see no downgrade in the performance of centralized management.

We didn't have any support cases opened for Check Point SandBlast Mobile.

We did not use another solution prior to this one.

The solution was implemented by the in-house team of security engineers and system administrators.

We decided to purchase the Check Point SandBlast Mobile after the demo with the vendor.

The solution is modern and easy to onboard.

Our primary use case for using Check Point SandBlast Mobile solution was for securing (Bring your own device) BYOD mobile devices of users. With Check Point SandBlast Mobile we get full visibility of users' mobile activity, like installed apps. Users are only allowed to use permitted applications. We also have blacklisted some malicious URLs. Check Point SandBlast Mobile provides flexibility to BYOD users to access the restricted website as per the time specified by the company policy.

We have deployed for the first time a mobile protection solution in the environment & Check Point SandBlast Mobile worked well. All mobile devices that are connected to the network are monitored and restricted for web surfing as per company policy. With that, users also have the flexibility to use their favorite websites for some time. Device compliance, phishing protection, and all other next-gen features in action were previously not there with the environment. Also, adding a new user is very easy, there is no extra load on the team. 

First, the granular visibility of apps & traffic which we get through Check Point SandBlast Mobile is good. We can see each & every installed app & information for each app about severity & risk.

URL filtering has a wide variety of URL categories to choose from. We can also add whitelist & blacklist domains as per our requirements.

Another great thing about Check Point SandBlast Mobile is the ease of deployment. We can deploy a solution in an hour or two. 

Check Point SandBlast Mobile android application is very easy and simple. The interface & all processes are automated.

When adding users sometimes we were not able to send SMS to users also even after the application user was not visible in the dashboard. Upon troubleshooting, we found that the same user has previously integrated with our old Check Point SandBlast Mobile.

Also, we found configuring device groups & mapping policies is quite confusing. There should be a simpler interface.

Other than this, we did not have any problem as of now. In case of any problem, Check Point tech is always available to help.

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

The product is pretty stable, we have not had any problems with stability.

Our experience with Check Point tech is very good as of now. Every time we get a solution to our problem. They have been one of our best tech experiences.

The initial setup is very simple & less time-consuming.

The in-house team implemented the solution.

I was one who implemented the solution & we were not involved with commercials.

The primary use case of this solution is for mobile threat prevention. We integrate it with an MDM and push it to our managed devices to protect the company's phone.

It prevents you from visiting phishing sites. It will scan the URL and let you know whether or not it's a malicious location or not.

It helps to reduce the person from just clicking away.

Users always feel disconnected from the network when they are using their mobile phone and we felt the need to be protected, just as much as our laptops. Sometimes you can click on something without realizing it. Having that extra added layer of security and support helps to keep the person safe from malicious actors.

We were looking for a solution with application scanning, phishing detection, and has the ability to whitelist and blacklist websites or a URL.

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.

It does an active scan of all applications.

Time and time again, you read that applications have been removed from the Play Store because they are from a malicious vendor or they have been compromised. Having an extra layer of security where it scans to ensure that your device has a more secure and stable version of the application is very valuable.

In the next release, I would like to see a Wi-Fi scanner to be able to identify whether a wireless network is malicious before you join it. That would be very valuable.

I have been using this product for more than two years.

It's a stable solution and I don't recall any outages or access issues. The uptime is high.

Currently, we have not exhausted our license, and haven't had the need to scale it up or down.

We have approximately 800 users who range from customer service to the CEO. Once you have a mobile device, it will be managed.

I am a security analyst and my manager and I are the only two interacting with the solution. We reach out to Check Point for any maintenance that is needed.

Technical support was very helpful and not difficult to connect with them. As soon as we sent them the email, there we always ready and available to arrange a meeting to get things done.

The process is the same before and after deployment. Just sent an email with the issues and they will contact to arrange a meeting to resolve the issue.

I would say that they are very helpful and always just an email away.

The initial setup is straightforward. It's an easy setup with just a flip of a switch.

We were set up and ready to go very quickly. Because it's a cloud offering and hosted online, it's made to be much quicker.

The deployment was less than a week. We installed it manually on the devices then integrated with an MDM that automates the process for all manual devices.

We had support from Check Point to assist us and they were very helpful.

The fact that we have not had any mobile breaches is a return on investment.

Check Point pricing is better than Symantec.

We also evaluated Symantec Endpoint protection Mobile.

Symantec does not do everything that Check Point does and furthermore, Check Point pricing is better. Budgetary-wise, it was the right choice for us.

This solution checks so many of our boxes already, anything new added would just be the icing on the cake.

My advice would be to do your homework. Ensure that this is the right product for you. Request a demo and test it out. 

Don't purchase more licenses than you need because it will become costly.

Before this, I didn't realize that there were so many malicious applications out there in the world. So, it was a bit eye-opening to see some of what your phone can access without you even realizing what you were clicking.

I would rate this solution a nine out of ten.

The most valuable features of this solution are the: 

• Filtering 
• Interface configuration
• Threat management. 

In terms of what needs improvement, the web interface should be simplified. It should be more user-friendly. It's too technical. 

I have been using Check Point SandBlast Mobile for five years. 

The stability is good. 

Scalability is good. 

Their technical support is okay. We haven't had any issues with them.

I would say that the setup was fairly good enough. 

Check Point has a very high price for certain mid-size installations and some of their competitors have much lower prices. I would say that for big installations Check Point is okay for pricing but for a small-medium installation it's too expensive. Pricing is something else that they could improve. 

I would rate it an eight out of ten. Not a perfect ten because of the pricing and web interface. 

In the next release, I would like for there to be better integration with other products. 

We primarily use the solution for mobile security, which is important in our part of the world. Using SandBlast Mobile, we're able to prove if a traditional antivirus has become embedded in some devices. It helps us to combat cybercrime. We're able to control things like SMS phishing and check for malicious links and malicious application downloads.

For example, if my son downloads Angry Birds, and we don't know if the version he downloaded was malicious, we can trigger SandBlast to check it.

The anti-phishing and scanning of SMS are the most valuable aspects of the solution. Sometimes we will get some SMS and they will try to redirect you to malicious links. If you have SandBlast Mobile, it helps you prevent clicking on those malicious links.

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. With ZoneAlarm for mobile, it will also direct from the Google Apps, or the Play Store. And then they get to pay for it too. I think it's a very nice solution. 

In terms of features, I believe they really have everything covered. I can't say if anything needs to be added. In this part of the world, we're still trying to bring ourselves up to speed in terms of what works best.

I've been using the solution for three years now.

The stability is very good. I'd rate it four out of five. I'm not sure if there are any shortfalls. I haven't seen any that would make me worry about the stability.

The scalability of the solution is good. I'd rate the solution four out of five.

We've contacted technical support They've been very good. So far, we've been pleased with their level of service.

We didn't previously use a different solution. In terms of mobile technology, it's completely new to me.

The initial setup is pretty straightforward. It's easy to deploy.

I haven't evaluated other options of compared this solution to other available platforms.

We're a distributor of Check Point and Check Point partners. 

We have a good understanding of what kind of security our clients need to stay safe in our country.

We both use it ourselves, so we can demonstrate the solution, and offer it as a solution to our clients. It's easy because it's on mobile so we can show clients on our phone.

I'd advise others to use the solution. It's a modern technology that really combats today's cyber threats on mobile devices.

I'd rate the solution nine out of ten. In terms of usage, it's given me everything I need. In Nigeria, we don't have many solutions that do what Check Point does.
