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.

SolarWinds Dameware

Riepilogo del prodotto

Dameware Remote Everywhere offre strumenti di assistenza remota cloud-native che consentono ai professionisti IT e ai fornitori di servizi gestiti (MSP) di monitorare gli endpoint remoti e di risolvere rapidamente i problemi. Per mantenere i dati e i dispositivi al sicuro, Dameware utilizza la crittografia e l’autenticazione a più fattori. Le funzionalità di helpdesk e la reportistica completa di Dameware semplificano e velocizzano il supporto remoto.

Casi d’uso

  • Accesso remoto:
    L’accesso remoto personalizzabile permette all’IT di accedere da remoto: Dameware Remote Everywhere consente ai tecnici di accedere a dispositivi remoti all’interno e all’esterno di una rete per diagnosticare i problemi ed eseguire dei comandi per risolverli.
  • Monitoraggio degli endpoint:
    I tecnici possono visualizzare in tempo reale e nello storico l’integrità del dispositivo e i dettagli della sessione, in modo da poter risolvere eventuali problemi.
  • Assistenza remota:
    Gli utenti possono semplificare il loro lavoro di assistenza remota utilizzando le funzioni dell’helpdesk di Dameware, come il trasferimento di file, la condivisione dello schermo e un sistema di ticketing integrato.

Punti deboli

  • Tariffe:
    La tariffa per tecnico è costosa per gli utenti rispetto alle funzionalità fornite da Dameware.
  • Problemi di connessione remota:
    I conflitti DNS possono indurre i tecnici a collegarsi al dispositivo sbagliato.
  • Problemi di grafica:
    La risoluzione dello schermo è spesso insufficiente quando si utilizzano le funzioni di accesso remoto, rendendo difficile per i tecnici risolvere in modo efficace i problemi dei dispositivi.
