We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"We like the URL content filtering, that is one of the most valuable features.""We have applied MFA so that no one can bypass this security and the users/employees can access their resources very easily, securely, and seamlessly.""The environment is managed and administered centrally in Check Point Infinity which provides a lot of stability with its other features.""I would rate the stability a ten out of ten.""The use and management of our portal is easy.""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.""Harmony Mobile's most valuable feature is the variety of capabilities in the platform, including allowing you to track device status.""It is a stable solution."

"Look at other options but ultimately, this solution offers possibly one of the best solutions out there."

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.""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.""Integration needs improvement. We use Check Point for email. We use Check Point Capsule Workspace and I wish that it tied into that better and was integrated with their email application so that when it's secure, then they're able to access their email and it could be deployed as one group instead of two separate applications. It's a little bit more work for us to deploy both of those so it'd be nice if they could be integrated.""Check Point Harmony Mobile lacks MDM capabilities, which are present in other MDM products, like IBM Security MaaS360, AirWatch, and Google Workspace.""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.""The remote configuration has room for improvement.""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 can say that this is a very good solution but Check Point has to reduce the cost."

"General reporting can be improved. The logs only last a short period of time, so reporting could be improved."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "Pricing is a little high."
  • "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."

  • "This is a very expensive product."
  • "The quality, price, and support ratio are very good."

    Check Point Harmony Mobile Key Features

    Harmony Mobile's key features include: 

    • App protection: The platform detects and blocks the download of malicious applications in real-time. It runs the application in a cloud-based environment and tests it by leveraging techniques such as sandboxing, advanced static analysis, anomaly detection, and other techniques. By doing so, it prevents malware from infiltrating employees’ mobile devices.

It delivers scalability and efficiency with zero-touch deployment. The system works for all Android deployment models. The management console is cloud-based, delivering visibility over the risk posture and enabling admins to roll granular policies. 
    • User friendly: The platform is easy to adopt, with no disruption of the user experience or the device's usability. The system delivers detailed threat notifications in real time as well as weekly reports. The platform doesn’t impact battery life or data consumption. Additionally, it keeps the user and corporate data private without collecting or analyzing personal information. Finally, the platform anonymizes the context metadata from apps and networks it uses for analysis.

    • Behavioral risk engine: The engine uses data received from the app about the network, configuration, and OS data integrity, detects and analyzes suspicious activity, and produces a risk score.

    Reviews from Real Users

    "The easy navigation of the admin portal is a welcome change to how some other admin portals are not very user-friendly," says G.S., a Manager of Infrastructure Services at an energy/utilities company.

    Kadeem C., an IT Security Analyst at an energy/utilities company, says, "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."

    Oleg P., Senior Network/Security Engineer at Skywind Group, says, "The most impressive thing is the SSL VPN Portal."

    Hans V., an Engineer at Caldoo, adds that “We've found that the product is quite stable."
