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.

We are just customers and end-users. We are using the most up-to-date version available at this time. I'd advise potential new users that the key thing is to clearly understand what your requirements are and what your use cases are, and both your business requirements, your technical requirements, and your regulatory requirements. It's important to understand all of those. A company needs to clearly understand all the use cases it needs to manage and make sure they do the appropriate due diligence to find a product that can achieve all those requirements and handle all those use cases. It was an extensive process for us. We did about four to six months of paper-based due diligence - not even a field trial - to make that we were picking the right product. We leveraged a lot of outside vendor-neutral sources like Gartner. So far, I'd rate the solution at a nine out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"After deploying Check Point Harmony Mobile, I saw a noticeable drop in mobile-related security alerts, around 30 to 40%, fewer phishing and risky application incidents, and better user awareness."
"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."
"The use and management of our portal is easy."
"After deploying Check Point Harmony Mobile, I saw a noticeable drop in mobile-related security alerts, around 30 to 40%, fewer phishing and risky application incidents, and better user awareness."
"Check Point Harmony Mobile has positively impacted my organization by saving time and providing better security."
"It has been very easy to implement and deploy."
"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 most valuable features of the solution are threat emulation, threat extraction, URL detection, antimalware, antivirus, and IPS."
"The product is one of the market leaders, according to Gartner, on mobile protection."
 

Cons

"The ability to integrate local and cloud technologies to create a hybrid scenario would be an upgrade."
"We don't have Google MDM being supported by the solution as of yet. It is a feature requirement... They are aware that it is something that I need. My objective is to be able to have the MDM integration and to have some level of control over the asset itself."
"It does the process in the background and it does a wonderful job but the methodologies don't pop up. They should make it more interactive."
"We had some issues with loopback VPN DNS filtering stopping working periodically, however, this is something that we could probably iron out with support."
"At times, when configuring policies, the tool takes some time to apply the policy."
"Harmony Mobile could be improved with increased built-in DLP coverage."
"We can say that this is a very good solution but Check Point has to reduce the cost."
"My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing is that it is very expensive."
"The one thing that I know that they're working on, that's not quite there in the product, is the artificial intelligence aspect."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I rate the tool's pricing a three out of ten."
"Check Point provides a separate license in cases where organizations want to use this only on mobile devices, or laptops/desktops."
"We pay between 300 and 600 Rupees per year, around seven dollars per month."
"When I purchased the product for one of our company's clients, I realized that the price of the product was competitive."
"Its cost depends upon the number of users."
"We didn't actually purchase the software. It was given to us by Check Point. We are using it as a test bed for possible future customers."
"Choosing the correct set of licenses is essential because, without the additional software blade licenses, the Check Point gateways are just a stateful firewall."
"Check Point Harmony Mobile's pricing is good."
