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.

VMware Workspace One

VMware Workspace ONE è una piattaforma di gestione unificata degli endpoint, la quale consente agli utenti di gestire dispositivi, endpoint virtualizzati e applicazioni.

Casi d’uso

  • Accesso remoto:
    I tecnici possono risolvere i problemi che si presentano grazie ad un accesso remoto sicuro.
  • Automazione:
    Automatizza attività comuni e ripetitive come la distribuzione di applicazioni e dispositivi e la gestione delle patch.

Punti deboli

  • Interfaccia complessa:
    Le recensioni affermano che VMware Workspace ONE ha una curva di apprendimento ripida per i nuovi utenti.
  • Problemi di prestazioni:
    VMware Workspace ONE si carica lentamente e rischia di essere poco reattivo perché la piattaforma può aprire troppe applicazioni contemporaneamente.
  • Tariffe:
