Description

Kandji, the Device Harmony platform for Apple devices in the enterprise, tears down the wall between IT and InfoSec teams to keep Apple users secure and productive. In the past, these teams pursued their mandates independently — InfoSec handled security, while IT managed user devices. But in a world where user security and productivity are C-level priorities, they need shared intelligence, automation and workflows to win. Kandji’s Device Harmony platform deeply connects IT and InfoSec capabilities that were previously spread out across five different product categories: Device Management, Vulnerability Management, Endpoint Detection and Response, Endpoint Visibility, and Endpoint Compliance. Kandji bridges these capabilities with shared intelligence, automation, and workflows designed for the cross-functional manner in which these teams now work.

What do you like best about Kandji?

I want to say my favorite thing about Kandji is the simplicity and easy to navigate interface, but truthfully it is the great support techs and engineers that Kandji has. Though MDM can get frustrating due to limitations and minor nuiances that occur every now and then, but the support team and Kandji does a very good job at being informative and providing various forums to help your use case. Not only is the support team great to work work, but our company assigned CSM, Kaylee, has been amazing to work with as she has provided assistance for whatever my MDM needs required. Such as training from the bottom up, teaching best practices, collaborating with support engineers to get me the best possible answers, etc.

Another thing I love about Kandji is how easy the MDM profile gets integrated into devices purchased through Verizon. Once I receive and boot up the device, Kandji is already there ready to go. Only thing I need to check is if the device is using the correct blueprint or not, and if it is not, it is a quick and easy fix. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Kandji?

There aren't necesarilly any cons to Kandji, at least none that I have found, but just like every other MDM, they aren't perfect, but that is typically due to the device's manufacturer limitations.

Only other dislike is probably the learning curve. If you are like me and come into MDM softwares with little to no knowledge about mobile devices or platforms that help manage it, then you will most likely struggle like I did. If you already have that experience, using Kandji will be a breeze. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Kandji solving and how is that benefiting you?

We use Kandji to restrict certain departments from device features, record device information, assign permissions and limitations to either departments or individual users, and general MDM needs. Using Kandji has been super easy and helpful to manage devices within the company which has now allowed to practically pay no attention to that side of my department. Because Kandji runs everything automatically and I now get Kandji preloaded onto purchased devices through Verizon, I rarely ever have to login, I just let Kandji do what it needs to do unless otherwise noted.

What do you like best about Kandji?

Easy to use and great connections with other tool and applications. Takes the hassle out of managing devices which can be a challenge in a fully remote global organisation. Policy administration is made easy with the built in templates. Enrolment of devices and users is simple. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Kandji?

Ensuring the devices are kept within policy. This has to happen anyway and at least Kandji alerts you when something goes wrong with a device Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Kandji solving and how is that benefiting you?

Managing fully remote devices with users spread around the globe. Providing a good end user experience for new users. Help keep all our devices compliant with policies.

What do you like best about Kandji?

The whole process from the initial call to onboarding has been amazing and a huge thenkyou to the team. The platform is exactly what we needed in terms of fully mange our Mac estate, from deployment, to patching and asset tracking.

Its ease of use to setup, implement and integration is so well laid out, and the customer support elements are well delivered and easy to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Kandji?

Ill be honest, i just cant fault it, the platform is everything we need Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Kandji solving and how is that benefiting you?

We never had a proper way to support the Mac assets in the business, and deployment was extremely manual process. In terms of updates, it was a similar thing, if a device came back in we patched and did what we needed. The Kandji platform has transformed this whole process for us Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Kandji?

I've been a Kandji user for over few years now, and I must say, I'm genuinely impressed with its features and ease of use. We made the switch from JumpCloud, and Kandji has proven to be a far superior choice for our needs. The platform's intuitive design made policy implementation a breeze and ensured it was tailored to our organization's requirements. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Kandji?

Having the ability to execute terminal commands remotely on specific devices directly from the device section would enhance the platform. This would streamline device management and troubleshooting without the need for additional steps or equipment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Kandji solving and how is that benefiting you?

Kandji is vital in helping our company maintain SOC2 compliance. It ensures that we have efficient systems for patching and the right policies for updating our apps and devices. This is instrumental in lowering risks and adhering to regulations by significantly enhancing our security measures and compliance methods. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Kandji?

Compared to other "enterprise" Apple MDM solutions we had used in the past, the price was very affordable for our small business. The migration and onboarding from our old provider to Kandji was included in the price of the solution, and was incredibly easy to execute. The Account Executive, Customer Success Manager, and Principal Engineer were all very knowledgeable and helpful during the entire process. I am absolutely satisfied with their product offiering.

I only wish that we could manage the few Microsoft Windows that we do have in our organization in 1 application. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

(Original )Information
What do you like best about Kandji?

We evaluated multiple MDM solutions before deciding on Kandji and have been very happy with our choice. It's easy to set up and deploy the MDM agents, create blueprints to manage multiple environments, and see what's happening in our fleet in real time. The recent addition of the Prism reporting features has been a huge addition, fixing one of the few flaws Kandji had. Any time we've experienced issues, their customer support has been incredibly responsive and helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Kandji?

The biggest downside is the lack of useful logging. There are times where I'd like to see when and what happened, and Kandji is severely lacking in that area. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Kandji solving and how is that benefiting you?

Kandji enables up to remotely manage our fleet of devices, and ensures that we maintain a secure and compliant environment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Kandji?

As a primarily Microsoft focused professional working for an organization that heavily uses Microsoft services and products, Kandji has been an invaluable tool to me to ease my concern about the security and compliance of our endpoint Mac devices. Kandji made it super easy to migrate our devices off of Intune and create policies that closely align to NIST and CIS frameworks - making it so engineers not very familiar with Mac architecture can build robust policies that keep our devices safe.

Kandji support is also fantastic, and whenever I need help I can get on a chat with a Kandji engineer in as little as 5 minutes. In my experience, they will also assist with Mac related questions even when Kandji does not have a solution for the particular problem. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Kandji?

The only downside in my view is that it is difficult to manage devices in two places. This isn't necessarily a Kandji problem, but from an overhead perspective having two places to maintain inventory and reporting isn't ideal. However, Kandji's benefits far outweigh the negative aspects of using multiple MDM. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Kandji solving and how is that benefiting you?

Kandji helps our business keep our Macs secure with the added benefit of providing a single sign on (adjacent) experience that uses our Microsoft tenant to sync the user accounts of our employees. This was a gap when we used Intune, and it was a headache when our users forgot their Mac passwords.

Kandji has greatly improved our Mac imaging process - going from using a Time Machine backup image to Kandji ADE + Liftoff has decreased our per-device imaging time by almost 2 hours.

The system has also made it far easier to assign applications to our Macs by providing a robust catalog of apps that are supported and updated in addition to the Kandji self service portal.

Kandji is addressing gaps that were previously present when applying device hardening policies to our Macs. The blueprint and assignment map systems make it far easier to apply these configurations and make changes when required. As a non-Mac focused engineer, having the ability to understand the changes being made greatly improves our ability to manage these devices. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Kandji?

Ease of use, as we are an MSP for multiple customers this is crucial. The automatic updated on third party apps works great. Implementation is fast and the tenant is up and running very easily.

If you ever need customer support it is top notch with Kandji, the people in the support are responsive and professionals in using Kandji.

Kandji is extremely easy to integrate to other systems as Microsoft Entra for example. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Kandji?

I would hope they'd bring multi tenant support for MSPs and that their licensing model would change to more flexible model. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Kandji solving and how is that benefiting you?

It makes managing Apple fleets a breeze, integration with Apple Business Manager guarantees a true zero touch deployment of devices. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Kandji?

Kandji MDM is an outstanding solution for mobile device management. Its powerful blueprints allow for seamless configuration and automation, ensuring consistency across all devices. The Assignment Maps feature simplifies device grouping and policy application, making management easy for teams of any size. What’s more, it’s incredibly easy to start using, even without any prior MDM experience. Overall, Kandji is user-friendly, efficient, and reliable, with features that greatly enhance device management. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Kandji?

While Kandji MDM is a solid solution, there are a few areas that could use improvement. One of the biggest challenges is the lack of sufficient training materials. While the platform is intuitive, more in-depth resources would be helpful, especially for teams new to MDM. Specifically, there aren’t enough real-life examples or step-by-step guides on how to effectively set up new Assignment Maps. This can make the learning curve a bit steeper for users who aren’t familiar with device management systems.

Another feature that's noticeably missing is the ability to group libraries under blueprints. It would be incredibly useful to have more flexibility in organizing and managing device settings and applications in a more structured way within blueprints. Overall, while Kandji is powerful, these areas of improvement could help make the platform even more user-friendly and efficient. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Kandji solving and how is that benefiting you?

What I really like about Kandji MDM is how it solves some of the biggest headaches in device management. For instance, the activation lock bypass is a game-changer. It makes managing devices so much easier, especially when you need to quickly reset or repurpose a device without any hassle. The same goes for the recovery lock—Kandji handles it seamlessly, so there’s no disruption in getting devices back up and running.

I also love how easy one-touch deployment is. I can set up multiple devices at once, applying all the necessary configurations in just a few clicks. It saves me so much time, and I know everything is set up correctly every time.

And when it comes to security profiles, Kandji really shines. The ability to apply custom security settings across devices gives me the confidence that everything is secure and compliant with our policies. It’s these features that make Kandji such a reliable and time-saving tool in my day-to-day management of devices. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Kandji?

Kandji has been very easy to adapt and configure to meet our institutional needs. We went from a zero MDM enviornment to this with very useful implementation meetings from the Kandji team. We have been set for 2+ years now, and it has proven to be a low touch product in that we almost set it and forget it for periods of time. Customer support via chat has been wonderful as well. Most every question or issue we have had was able to be resolved within minutes as opposted to having to go down the ticketing path. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Kandji?

We have not found a great configuration setup as of now to manage our Mac computer labs with multi user devices. Kandji does not have anything right out of the box to help us configure that. Still a work in progress on our end, and not sure if any competators offer this or not to be honest. I am also not looking forward to moving all of my traditional "blueprints" to the new model they have. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Kandji solving and how is that benefiting you?

We have lowered end users tickets and overall support time for our mac fleet by being able to keep everyone in a tighter window with regard to updates and patches. Overall security of our fleet has been enhanced and we have cut down on time to provision devices. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
