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.

Tanium

Le sue funzionalità di segnalazione degli incidenti consentono ai tecnici di individuare e diagnosticare minacce e incidenti. I team IT e gli MSP possono utilizzare l’automazione di Tanium per aggiornare gli endpoint e accelerare le risoluzioni da remoto di eventuali problemi.

Casi d’uso

  • Gestione degli endpoint:
    Tanium offre visibilità di tutti gli endpoint da un’unica piattaforma. I tecnici possono configurare nuovi endpoint da questo hub e distribuire le applicazioni.
  • Automazione:
    Le funzionalità di automazione di Tanium semplificano i processi di protezione dei dati, garantendo una protezione continua con un intervento manuale minimo.
  • Gestione della conformità:
    Questa soluzione è in grado di scansionare automaticamente i dispositivi e le reti per verificare la presenza di lacune nella conformità e di distribuire patch, aggiornamenti del sistema operativo e software di terze parti per mantenere gli endpoint aggiornati e sicuri.

Punti deboli

  • Patching:
    Alcuni utenti hanno segnalato problemi con la funzionalità di patching di Tanium, che a volte può portare a interruzioni involontarie del server.
  • Curva di apprendimento ripida:
    L’apprendimento di tutte le query richiede una notevole quantità di tempo e può essere difficile per i nuovi utenti familiarizzarsi con esse.
  • Utilizzo elevato delle risorse di sistema:
    Tanium consuma un volume elevato di risorse del dispositivo, il che può aumentare l’utilizzo della CPU e influire sulle prestazioni del dispositivo.
