Kandji

Product Summary

Kandji is a cloud-native device management solution for Apple-only ecosystems. It is widely used for managing MacBooks, iPads, and iPhones.

Use Cases

  • Automated patch management:
    Kandji’s Auto Apps library offers common Apple applications ready to deploy and can be set to scan devices automatically to ensure they are updated.
  • Out-of-the-box configurations:
    Kandji offers blueprint configuration templates for deploying applications to a macOS device.
  • Remote endpoint management:
    Technicians get full visibility of all macOS devices, including applications, activity, and logs of remediations for any issues.

Shortcomings

  • No support for other OS:
    Designed specifically for Apple-only environments, this solution would not be compatible with hybrid set-ups since organizations would have to invest in another solution to support non-Apple devices.
  • Limited reporting:
    Users on G2 have noted that extracting detailed reports can be difficult, and some metrics cannot be extracted.
  • Rigid licensing:
    Kandji’s pricing is inflexible and requires a minimum of a hundred devices for a license, which can make it less cost-effective.

ManageEngine Endpoint Central

Riepilogo del prodotto

ManageEngine Endpoint Central è una soluzione di gestione unificata degli endpoint basata sul cloud che consente alle organizzazioni di monitorare, gestire, proteggere e risolvere i problemi in remoto di vari endpoint. Questo software consente ai fornitori di servizi gestiti (MSP) di automatizzare numerose attività IT.

Casi d’uso

  • Gestione degli endpoint:
    Consente agli utenti di gestire più endpoint da un’unica console e di risolvere eventuali problemi.
  • Gestione delle patch e del software:
    Distribuisci software e patch a endpoint e server e gestisci le licenze software. Gli amministratori possono anche bloccare il software non autorizzato e gestire le autorizzazioni.
  • Accesso remoto:
    Offre agli utenti la possibilità di monitorare gli endpoint da remoto, consentendo loro di accedere a file manager, task manager, registro di sistema e altri strumenti.

Punti deboli

  • Utilizzo elevato delle risorse di sistema:
    Questo servizio richiede un grande consumo di risorse sul dispositivo gestito, che può causare problemi di prestazioni.
  • Scalabilità:
    Quando il numero di endpoint e la complessità dell’ambiente IT aumentano, la soluzione può presentare difficoltà di funzionamento e può diventare difficile da gestire.
  • Assistenza clienti:
    Alcuni utenti hanno dichiarato di aver avuto difficoltà a ricevere assistenza per problemi complessi e che il team di assistenza è spesso lento a rispondere o a seguire i casi.
  • Reportistica:
    Alcuni utenti hanno difficoltà a personalizzare i report. Anche l’estrazione o la presentazione di dati specifici nel formato desiderato dall’utente può rappresentare una sfida.
