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.

Straightforward initial setup, it took less than a week to get everybody up and running
We are using the latest version of this solution. My primary use case is for mobile device protection The middleman protection and the WiFi protection are the most valuable features.  General reporting can be improved. The logs only last a short period of time so reporting could be improved,…

Pros

"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."
"Because of its ease of use and the coverage you get for the blurred boundary of mobile devices, Harmony Mobile gives you coverage whether you're using a BYOD, COPE, or COBO framework."
"The simple navigation offered by the graphical user interface is excellent."
"It is a stable solution."
"The main advantage of the solution is the implementation of complete security policies for the terminals that address how more apps are installed on corporate devices."
"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."
"It doesn't allow you to activate some of the applications until your mobile is malware free. That way we come to know that the device secure and only then do we deploy the business application."
"The solution was easy to deploy and provided a useful security enhancement for mobile devices."
"Look at other options but ultimately, this solution offers possibly one of the best solutions out there."
 

Cons

"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."
"Some configuration options inside the management console are a little confusing because the interface is not always user-friendly."
"Check Point Harmony Mobile is strong but could improve in reducing alert fatigue, sometimes we get too many notifications which can overwhelm users and IT staff."
"It could expand the functionalities to, in addition to security functionality, incorporate Mobile Device Management (MDM) functionalities such as remote device management, administration of installed applications, etc."
"Harmony has more support for Android OS as opposed to iOS. You need a third-party MDM solution to integrate with iOS. If you don't have an MDM, your app can't scan on an iOS device. The solution can scan everything on Android. It sees all your apps."
"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."
"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."
"An area for improvement could be simpler deployment. Regarding easier deployment options, we would appreciate options that simplify the whole process."
"General reporting can be improved. The logs only last a short period of time, so reporting could be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Regarding the cost of licenses, each device consumes one, even if it has both professional and personal profiles."
"Choosing the correct set of licenses is essential because, without the additional software blade licenses, the Check Point gateways are just a stateful firewall."
"This is a very expensive product."
"The product pricing is reasonable for the security it provides."
"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."
"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."
"I rate the tool's pricing a three out of ten."
"Check Point pricing is better than Symantec."
"There could be more clarity regarding the pricing."
