Find out what your peers are saying about Check Point Software Technologies, Lookout, Zimperium and others in Mobile Threat Defense."I really like the application scanning feature that scans all of the installed applications, and not only what appears in the add or remove apps, and then reports the results in the console."
"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."
"You can block infected devices from accessing corporate data."
"Harmony Mobile presents many innovative features."
"It has been very easy to implement and deploy."
"The most valuable features of this solution are the filtering, interface configuration, and threat management."
"It is very easy for my company to get information from the product's support team."
"The usability is the most valuable feature. It's really easy to use. It's a durable solution. I don't have any breaches. It is a good solution from that angle."
"The most valuable feature is that it's comprehensive - it covers mobile devices and laptops in one package."
"The implementation phase of IBM MaaS360 was pretty easy."
"The best feature is the ability to control mobile phones, wipe and containerize the data, and keep employees' work data separate from personal data."
"Maas360 uses distribution groups to deploy apps, which makes it a bit easier than, for example, Intune."
"We introduced the product as part of the SOC-2 requirement. The tool's most valuable features include keeping the operating system updated, tracking software inventory, controlling computer administrators, and the ability to wipe a computer in case of a security threat. It helps us to be compliant, and it is one of the reasons we implemented it."
"It helped us reduce the number of support incidents by limiting users' access to device configurations."
"The most valuable feature is the fact that we can find a lost device or shut the device down and wipe it is good for HIPAA."
"One valuable feature is the ability to provide a secure environment. Another is the kiosk mode where MaaS360 can be used over a tablet or mobile device to ensure that a single application is used."
"The product does not provide deep capabilities for sharing specific data to users or groups separately, nor does it provide visibility as to whether a user has access to the data or not."
"I would like to see management and remote administration functions in the same portal."
"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."
"The remote configuration has room for improvement."
"Sometimes, the mobile app crashes and stops responding."
"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."
"In the next release, I would like to see a Wi-Fi scanner to be able to identify whether a wireless network is malicious before you join it."
"The product needs to improve its user awareness."
"The UI has room for improvement."
"They should allow for the building of custom reports with graphics."
"We had a problem with Microsoft computers. If you downloaded emails on a Microsoft Windows Surface PC, that would also require a license. The Outlook application didn't look great for us on a PC."
"An area for improvement would be handshaking with Microsoft in terms of trying to get a DLP on Microsoft OS."
"The reporting and alerting could be improved."
"The price could be lower."
"We opted to go with Microsoft Intune because it just seemed to be a more mature and comprehensive enterprise solution, whereas IBM MaaS360 didn't seem to have the necessary breadth to manage all of our equipment. Along with laptops, I've had some BYODs. IBM MaaS360 just didn't seem as mature in our assessment."
"The user experience really isn't so good."
