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.

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

"Our ROI has been great, as it really didn't come at a cost for us because we already had the Infinity in place so, at no cost, we had extra security benefits added and visibility into our users' devices that we didn't have before."
"It has been a reliable solution for our organization, significantly improving our mobile device security without excessive maintenance requirements."
"It monitors all the URLs that a user goes to on their phone and so we can see what they're looking at and we can limit that. Certain topics are not allowed to be accessed. They're monitoring their apps and they rate them based upon how big of a security risk that individual app is based on their ratings. And so we're able to limit those as well and allow people to have some that may be a low risk, but still a risk, but we may allow that for our users whereas we block medium and high risk."
"Check Point Harmony Mobile has significantly strengthened the mobile security posture, especially as more employees rely on smartphones or tablets for work."
"The best thing about the product is that it is transparent and does not impact the users."
"The most valuable features of this solution are the filtering, interface configuration, and threat management."
"It is a stable solution."
"With the Check Point Harmony Mobile solution, we have been able to protect users' mobile terminals, both Android and iOS, from the various attacks they suffered."
"The product is one of the market leaders, according to Gartner, on mobile protection."
"Due to the fact that we bought a number of McAfee security products, one of the significant benefits for our company was the integration across multiple security controls, giving us a single pane of glass to monitor, administer, and manage multiple security controls."
 

Cons

"Some configuration options inside the management console are a little confusing because the interface is not always user-friendly."
"My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing is that it is very expensive."
"The one area where Check Point Harmony Mobile can be improved is cost-wise because compared to other vendors, the cost is a little bit higher."
"In terms of what needs improvement, the web interface should be simplified. It should be more user-friendly. It's too technical."
"The reporting dashboard could be more flexible. Currently, it is somewhat limited in terms of customizing views or filtering data by user groups and device type."
"The solution should improve passive scanning and provide regular updates. Also, during business hours, users should not experience any slowdown on their devices."
"Technical support should include other languages, such as Spanish or others, as currently it is only available in English."
"The area that I find could use the most improvement would be in the forensics section of the administrator console."
"The one thing that I know that they're working on, that's not quite there in the product, is the artificial intelligence aspect."
"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

"This is a very expensive product."
"The quality, price, and support ratio are very good."
"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."
"Check Point pricing is better than Symantec."
"Check Point Harmony Mobile's pricing is good."
"Users have to pay a yearly licensing fee for each device, which is cheap."
"We pay between 300 and 600 Rupees per year, around seven dollars per month."
"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."
