No, previously we have not had any solution that implements security in the mobile terminals of the corporate network.

Some tools were evaluated including:

• Akamai
• Mobile Threat Defense
• Palo Alto

After trying Check Point Harmony, we did not need to try something else.

My employer evaluates all solutions available on the market before deciding which one to use. Outside of the likes of MobileIron, I am not sure. 

We have been evaluating other solutions, such as Palo Alto Networks and Broadcom (Symantec).

We did evaluate IBM, Trend Micro, Better Mobile, and others.

We have not opted for other technologies since we have implemented the Check Point line into our company.

We evaluated VMware Workspace ONE, and VMware also had an MDM that we looked at at the time. Even the McAfee MVISION right now also comes with mobile device management as well.

We also evaluated an Intel security solution.

We haven't really looked at any competitors. This type of solution was not something we were planning on doing within this financial year. SandBlast Mobile was not something that was on our radar. Owing to the scenario we were in with the COVID pandemic, the issue was how fast we could react to get to the solution onboard and how little paperwork would be involved. Given that we're a state-owned company, we have to comply with a lot of procurement policies and guidelines. If we don't have a vendor operating onsite, we are not able to leverage any solution from that vendor.

Check Point was already operating onsite; we had other solutions in use from them. Given that they offered a solution to us and had a relationship with our executives, that was what enabled us to fast-track things.

If we were to evaluate other products we would not have been able to roll this out in time. It would have had to go to an RFP, an evaluation process, and a purchase order. It would have been a good six- to nine-month process.

No, we decided to stick to the Check Point Mobile Access after the demo with the vendor.

No, we did not evaluate other options first.

No, we have a vested interest with Check Point Mobile and we looked at their product line first, and was sold.  

Before selecting a security solution, we always carry out a market study. Check Point seems to be the best option.

We really do not doubt the capacity of Check Point. We validate reviews in addition to validating their characteristics, for which we are convinced of their potential. Check Point Harmony Mobile is one of the best.

I also evaluated VMware AirWatch, but I find Harmony Mobile to be a better solution.

We decided to purchase the Check Point SandBlast Mobile after the demo with the vendor.

We also evaluated Symantec Endpoint protection Mobile.

Symantec does not do everything that Check Point does and furthermore, Check Point pricing is better. Budgetary-wise, it was the right choice for us.

I haven't evaluated other options of compared this solution to other available platforms.
