Unified across devices and mobile threats are automatically blocked before damage occurs
The best feature of Check Point Harmony Mobile is the Mobile Threat Defense because it detects and blocks phishing attempts, malicious apps, man-in-the-middle attacks, and device exploits, which is especially critical in BYOD and remote work environments. The Mobile Threat Defense feature in Check Point Harmony Mobile has been very effective, especially in catching threats that target employees outside of traditional email channels. For example, there was a smishing attempt where a user received a text message with links disguised as package delivery updates. Check Point Harmony Mobile analyzed the link in real-time, flagged it as malicious, and blocked access before anyone could enter credentials, which prevented what could have been a widespread credential harvesting attack. Device Management and Remote Work Support are two additional aspects of Check Point Harmony Mobile that are especially valued. Device Management continuously checks device posture, including things like OS version, patch level, and whether a device is jailbroken or rooted. Remote Work Support allows employees to securely access email, collaboration tools, and files from anywhere without worrying about phishing links, malicious apps, and unsafe Wi-Fi networks. Check Point Harmony Mobile has positively impacted the organization, especially with phishing protections, as SMS or messaging-based phishing attempts are now blocked before users can click, preventing credential theft. Measurable outcomes since deploying Check Point Harmony Mobile highlight its impact on both security and compliance. Mobile-related security incidents have dropped by approximately 40 to 50 percent compared to before deployment.

Unified sign-on has simplified password management and now secures our mobile workforce
The ability to have a single password for the local device and the same password for the IDP is part of our security requirements. Jamf Connect integrates with multi-factor authentication from any IDP and facilitates initial device enrollment. It ensures that when a new user sets up the device, they sign in with their IDP username and password, which then creates the profile on the device. Furthermore, Jamf Connect is now integrated into Jamf Self Service Plus, providing a single dashboard for user password management and allowing users to sync and change their passwords. Additionally, Jamf Connect enhances security by offering two-factor authentication and permitting users to manage or seek help through support features directly within the app.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Check Point Harmony Mobile proactively blocks these threats before they reach the user, which has improved the overall security posture."
"Check Point Harmony Mobile has significantly improved our mobile security posture."
"One of the features that have given us additional value is being able to encrypt and block how data is shared within cell phones or mobile devices."
"This is a must-go solution if you want mobile device security."
"Check Point Harmony Mobile has positively impacted my organization by significantly reducing mobile-related incidents, as phishing links, risky app installs, and unsafe network connections are now intercepted before they cause harm."
"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."
"It is a stable solution."
"Network protection, OS protection, application protection, and file protection are valuable. It is also easy to implement and manage."
"Jamf Connect is very simple for us to use, and it is oriented towards productivity."
"It is easy to integrate into any existing IT workflow."
"Jamf Connect is an identity provider, and once you log in, you will have all the device's access."
"The tool supports different types of authentication. It also integrates seamlessly if you are using other Jamf products."
"The initial setup of Jamf Connect was straightforward with clear instructions provided in the documentation."
"Jamf Connect integrates with multi-factor authentication from any IDP and facilitates initial device enrollment, ensuring that when a new user sets up the device, they sign in with their IDP username and password, which then creates the profile on the device."
"The most valuable feature is ease of access. It's convenient to do things like resetting passwords. Previously, users were bound to their domain. We had to bind the user to the domain and log them in through the AD. Now, using Jamf Connect, we don't face any of these challenges. Resetting passwords is hassle-free so we can regularly rotate passwords according to best practices."
"It's a good and stable tool, so you should use it if you have a need."
 

Cons

"I have faced some issues with Check Point Harmony Mobile. We are trying to get some features developed into the app and it is taking long for it to be developed."
"We don't have Google MDM being supported by the solution as of yet. It is a feature requirement, but they wrote me saying it was supposed to have been rolled out at the end of the second quarter of 2020, which would have been in the last month."
"One of the improvements that can be made is that they become compatible with Google MDM."
"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."
"The ability to integrate local and cloud technologies to create a hybrid scenario would be an upgrade."
"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."
"There are certain shortcomings in the integration capabilities that a product offers."
"The interface could be more user-friendly. They should improve the look and feel."
"The solution needs to improve its licensing."
"Jamf Connect is beginning to implement Multi-Factor Authentication for offline authentication, but the setup documentation is insufficient."
"I see a potential area of improvement for Jamf Connect from the commercial side, not from the technical side, because technically we do not have any issues."
"Jamf's support could be improved."
"Overall, there is a lack of consistent experience sometimes with some of their features."
"The main use case for Jamf Connect was to synchronize local accounts with the identity provider, like Entra. However, due to some limitations with the enrollment sequence and user limitations, we decided to discontinue using it."
"The configuration could be faster."
"However, there is a concern about pricing because Jamf Connect is a separate application that requires additional payment."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I rate the tool's pricing a three out of ten."
"Check Point Harmony Mobile's pricing is good."
"The price is not so high. I would rate the pricing a three or four out of ten."
"At the moment, the price is good, but there is always scope for amelioration when it comes to pricing. When pricing is lower, it can make a customer buy the product. Customers ask us about the price of the product before allowing us to explain the functionality to them."
"Users have to pay a yearly licensing fee for each device, which is cheap."
"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."
"This is a very expensive product."
"The product pricing is reasonable for the security it provides."
"The pricing is good."
"I rate the cost as three out of ten, with ten being the highest."
"The solution's price is reasonable."
"It's relatively inexpensive."
"The pricing model could be improved, especially considering the availability of alternative MDM solutions like Kandji, which offers similar features for free or at a lower cost."
"Jamf Connect has a yearly licensing cost, which is expensive."
"The pricing is definitely on the higher side."
"We pay 2 dollars per device monthly. For the plus version, you have to pay 4 dollars per month. I think the product will give discounts based on the number of users and devices."
