Nasseer Qureshi - PeerSpot reviewer
Ensuring remote work security with effective protection for Mobile device access
Check point harmony mobile is strong but could improve in reducing alert fatigue, sometimes we get too many notification which can overwhelm users and IT staff. Making alerts smarter or more customizable would help focus attention on the most critical threats. Also enhanced reporting with more detailed insights and easier integration with other security tools would be great. In the future versions adding AI-driven threat prediction and automated remediation could take the solution to the next level.
