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.
