Find out what your peers are saying about Check Point Software Technologies, Lookout, Zimperium and others in Mobile Threat Defense."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 solution was easy to deploy and provided a useful security enhancement for mobile devices."
"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."
"We've found that the product is quite stable."
"The simple navigation offered by the graphical user interface is excellent."
"The solution provides us with all the information in the log."
"It is a scalable solution. Up to three hundred users are using the solution. I rate the scalability a ten out of ten."
"We like Harmony's ability to encrypt transactions between mobile devices. All the user's transactions are encrypted. That's an excellent feature. We can detect, quarantine, and address any issues in the handset itself."
"The biggest advantage of Check Point Remote Access VPN is that we already use the Check Point firewall. We only needed to enable the feature and do the configuration in order to enable the VPN feature. We didn't need to buy or manage new hardware. This was a big advantage."
"The IPSec VPN, Mobile Access, and Identity Awareness are three of the blades with which we have been working with since the pandemic. This has given us great mobility, making our network more dynamic."
"It operates effectively, particularly during challenges like adversities or infrastructure issues."
"The tool is easy to configure and use. We integrated it with Active Directory to manage user authentication. It's intuitive and transparent, making it simple for users to use. It connects automatically to the VPN whenever users turn on the laptop. The product is efficient and offers centralized control."
"The product's initial setup phase was easy."
"It offers a simple configuration and setup."
"Access is browser-based only and requires no additional client installation."
"Among its most valuable features is how it quickly and easily connects everyone to the VPN service."
"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."
"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 feature set between the Android and Apple devices is not fully equal."
"There could be more automation features for the solution."
"They could make a more beautiful interface."
"The admin portal is slightly clunky and sometimes shows a different status than what the device is actually doing."
"The product needs to improve its user awareness."
"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 ability to allow split-tunneling while still following our corporate policy needs to be on the table."
"Improvements for Check Point Remote Access VPN could include enhancing mobile connectivity for a smoother user experience."
"You have no ability to reserve a total number of licenses. The VPN user licenses are assigned per gateway, and if you enable MEP function is not so easy to size the gateway licenses."
"Check Point Remote Access VPN's connectivity and establishment takes time and needs to be faster."
"The connection has gotten less smooth as the number of users increases. The issue is that the logs fill up quickly. Too many users are connecting remotely. It worked great when we only had a few remote connections. Now, it is disconnecting people and dropping the internet connection."
"The maximum it is giving us is only 5 licenses and if you need more, they must be purchased separately."
"The non-standard setup is quite complex as you have to do changes via GUI and CLI."
"The provisioning of VPN users has room for improvement."
