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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"It is very easy for my company to get information from the product's support team."
"The best thing about the product is that it is transparent and does not impact the users."
"Check Point Harmony Mobile has positively impacted my organization by simplifying IT operations, allowing quick check-ins without needing laptops, which provides peace of mind, knowing it's safe."
"The product's initial setup phase is very straightforward."
"The ease of use, along with comprehensive protection for all devices, is a key advantage. It provides visibility into malicious applications installed on the phone."
"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."
"Harmony Mobile is a unified security solution for user devices and internet connections. It protects devices from sophisticated attacks, including malware, and implements Zero Trust Access for comprehensive security."
"Integration is good. You can integrate them with an off-brand endpoint solution. It has quite a few integration features you can use."
"Your endpoint protection depends on the signature piece, so it's mainly for virus and malware protection, as well as also to control devices and applications."
"The biggest advantage it has is the VPN product that is incorporated into the solution."
"The most valuable feature is to be able to power up a device and wipe the data remotely."
"Symantec Endpoint Protection Mobile is very easy to deploy, and it is really easy to set up the policies."
"One of the features I found very nice in Symantec Endpoint Protection Mobile is that it's good at scanning and fixing issues on its own. The solution is very good at finding a lot of applications and notifying you about systems that have issues. Symantec Endpoint Protection Mobile can run headless without having to report back which I found very nice about it. I also like that the solution would create alerts when a certain amount of time lapsed for systems, and it would recommend going through and scanning the systems. As an actual endpoint protection product, Symantec Endpoint Protection Mobile is good."
"The user interface is good. Managing and monitoring tools are also good."
 

Cons

"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."
"Harmony Mobile could be improved with increased built-in DLP coverage."
"I think that the pricing for the Check Point products should be reconsidered, as we found it to be quite expensive to purchase and to maintain."
"There are certain shortcomings in the integration capabilities that a product offers."
"Also, we found configuring device groups & mapping a policy is quite confusing. There should be a simpler interface."
"In terms of what needs improvement, the web interface should be simplified. It should be more user-friendly. It's too technical."
"We know that for many companies, the management and administration of device and data security have been complex."
"One of the improvements that can be made is that they become compatible with Google MDM."
"For a lot of the issues my team experienced from Symantec Endpoint Protection Mobile, Symantec said that getting the issues resolved would mean going through the partner that sold the product and creating an incident report to get the team to work on the actual company environment. A lot of the problems my team has been having from Symantec Endpoint Protection Mobile were associated with Outlook for endpoint users who were being locked out of the Outlook application. Another area for improvement in Symantec Endpoint Protection Mobile is its central web hub, where you're supposed to be able to update all of the endpoints because it wasn't reaching the endpoints. For example, even if the central web hub was able to see the endpoints and do the required scans, whenever you'd go to do a policy change, the policy change wouldn't propagate down to the endpoints. The central web hub allows you to monitor all of your endpoints and allows you to choose actions you'd want to do to each of the endpoints such as pushing down on updates or scanning the system. The problem my team usually gets is that majority of the time, whenever my team would do policy updates, the updates won't propagate down to the users, so it was very inconsistent. Needing to manually go through and scan systems is also an area for improvement in Symantec Endpoint Protection Mobile. Currently, there's no way to automate its scanning process. A lot of the other issues started appearing in Symantec Endpoint Protection Mobile during situations when people wanted to customize different applications. Symantec doesn't like people doing a lot of customizations. For example, the main problem in my company is users losing access to Outlook, but then my team discovered that there was a specific policy set that you could disable, and it would fix a lot of the Outlook issues. However, when you'd go to change that policy set and attach that to a user to overwrite policies on the user side, it just wouldn't do anything for that user. It wouldn't even show that the policy was updated, so this is what needs to be improved in Symantec Endpoint Protection Mobile."
"Having better, real-time support would be an improvement over having to send an email."
"I'm not sure if there's anything lacking; I personally don't use the solution too much, so I'd have to look at it a bit and do some more research. I'm more on the operation side of things."
"When there is an attack attempt on mobile, there doesn't seem to be much of a notification."
"It would be nice to have more flexibility regarding deployment."
"The price is too expensive for the Egyptian market here. Compared to other products or the other competition here in the local market, they need to be more competitive cost-wise."
"Application and device control needs to be improved. We also need to enhance login features for management to have good visibility of the events."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Check Point pricing is better than Symantec."
"This is a very expensive product."
"Check Point Harmony Mobile's pricing is good."
"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."
"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."
"Check Point provides a separate license in cases where organizations want to use this only on mobile devices, or laptops/desktops."
"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."
"You get the solution for free if you purchase the complete endpoint security licensing."
