Pros
"The solution was easy to deploy and provided a useful security enhancement for mobile devices.""You can block infected devices from accessing corporate data.""The most valuable features of this solution are the filtering, interface configuration, and threat management.""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.""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.""We've found that the product is quite stable.""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.""The easy navigation of the admin portal is a welcome change to how some other admin portals are not very user-friendly."

Cons
"The service provided by Check Point at the technical support level is somewhat slow, and they only provide help in English, which limits some clients.""From a user's perspective, of course, it is always better when it is cheaper in price.""For SandBlast Mobile, the only thing that is lacking is that it wasn't available for all types of users. However, Check Point has since fixed this, with ZoneAlarm.""One of the improvements that can be made is that they become compatible with Google MDM.""We know that for many companies, the management and administration of device and data security have been complex.""There are certain shortcomings in the integration capabilities that a product offers.""If possible, it would be better if they can include vulnerability management for applications. When a user installs many applications, if there is a way to manage a pack of applications, it would be helpful.""I would like to see management and remote administration functions in the same portal."

    • Mitigates threats regardless of the mobile management platform or what the user is doing
    • Prevents infected devices to send data to botnets

    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.

    • Simple and easy to use management: Check Point Harmony Mobile integrates with almost all mobile management solutions (MDM/UEM), and supports BYOD programs and remote work settings. 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.  

    Check Point Harmony Mobile Components 

    • 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."

    Maintaining user privacy is critical to the success of any mobile enterprise. But user privacy isn’t just limited to personal apps and content on the device; it extends to the network as well. That means IT must be able to secure traffic from enterprise apps without capturing personal traffic, such as a user posting a family photo on Facebook. As a result, protecting employee privacy requires IT to move beyond device-wide VPNs to more secure, intelligent, and granular app VPNs.
