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.

A market leader that integrates nicely with other McAfee security products and is quite stable
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

"The use and management of our portal is easy."
"The product's initial setup phase is very straightforward."
"Check Point Harmony Mobile has positively impacted my organization by saving time and providing better security."
"It has been a reliable solution for our organization, significantly improving our mobile device security without excessive maintenance requirements."
"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."
"First, the granular visibility of apps & traffic which we get through Check Point SandBlast Mobile are good. We can see each & every installed app & information for each app about severity & risk."
"The simple navigation offered by the graphical user interface is excellent."
"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."
"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."
"The errors should be more visible to admin users."
"The solution should improve passive scanning and provide regular updates. Also, during business hours, users should not experience any slowdown on their devices."
"In terms of what needs improvement, the web interface should be simplified. It should be more user-friendly. It's too technical."
"The remote configuration has room for improvement."
"The cost is a bit high. While it is worth the investment given the increased security and improved user experience, it is definitely a significant expense."
"I would like to see management and remote administration functions in the same portal."
"The deployment in the Android system is very simple but in the case of iOS, it is more complicated so the users require attention from our CAU."
"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

"Check Point Harmony Mobile's pricing is good."
"Its cost depends upon the number of users."
"Check Point pricing is better than Symantec."
"Check Point provides a separate license in cases where organizations want to use this only on mobile devices, or laptops/desktops."
"Choosing the correct set of licenses is essential because, without the additional software blade licenses, the Check Point gateways are just a stateful firewall."
"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."
"When I purchased the product for one of our company's clients, I realized that the price of the product was competitive."
"There is a need to make yearly payments towards the licensing costs attached to the product. You can opt for a one-year, three-year, or five-year license."
