Great MDM for startups and enterprises alike
What do you like best about the product?
Pros:
- Easy to use interface
- Quick ways to set up CIS requirements
- Tons of policies that can be toggled on and off
- Easy ways to manage the dozens of apps they have set up (most being in most startups)
- Great support! ++++++++++++ shout out to Liam and the team for their quick support and responses.
- Quickly coming out with features to match other competitors
- Directory integration with Google makes assigning computers easy
One of the small details I like is the description of each setting and what it does.

What do you dislike about the product?
Cons:
- Blueprints and library items may not be the best way for large enterprises that need a lot of granular controls of their policies
- Mass updates are not there yet for updating multiple computers
- Needs to have smart groups for rule base searches
- From a JAMF user, it needs extension attributes
- Pricing seems to be getting in line with the bigger guys which might sway folks to just go with the bigger guys.
- More integrations to other services to make automation easier for small teams without an engineering team.
I'm sure these will be things that Kandji will look into eventually as I am sure they want to separate themselves from the overly featured rich set of JAMF and find a nice middle group that still offers a ton of value for the cost.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As a startup, we don't have the bandwidth normally to fully support an enterprise solution like Airwatch and JAMF. Kandji solves this by making policies easy to manage with an on/off button and allows installing apps easier with their pre-built set of apps. The ability to also switch to different CIS benchmarks helps with any audits and compliance that has to happen.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I think Kandji is great for companies that are starting out and need a great out-of-the-box solution. I do think within time, Kandji will be a world-class enterprise solution but we just need to watch how they scale and which feature they deem a priority as Mac management gets more complex.

Let the Queen Bee Rule
What do you like best about the product?
Kandji is clear, concise, very easy to use right out of the box. Their system of modularizing apps and parameters into Library items, which can then be added to and removed from Blueprints for different classes of a machine is brilliant and well thought out. Out of the box security templates make for great starting points when creating new Blueprints. The overall performance of Kandji is my favorite thing of all. Systems respond very quickly to profile updates, changes and machine enrollment is a snap. Lastly the ability to combine VPP, Custom Apps and Scripts into a easily custom branded self service kiosk is the icing on the cake. Did I mention their customer support is excellent? It is. Kandji should be your next MDM.
What do you dislike about the product?
Occasionally they are a little slow getting their auto app library updated with the latest versions of applications. We have had some issues with operating system updates that Kandji has had to provide elaborate scripted workarounds for. I feel like they could do a better job of sorting this out with Apple beforehand, as each is dependent on the other.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Quick and easy management of hundreds of home-officed Macs at a cost that doesn't crush a startup.
Kandji has been wonderful for managing Macs, iOS, and more
What do you like best about the product?
After leaving one of the leading vendors for Mac Management, Kandji is SO EASY to administer. We can do everything we need quickly, and we have had no technical issues at all. Much better than the tedious processes we were dealing with previously.
What do you dislike about the product?
Kandji is a relatively new product, so there are some minor gaps in information captured, but they are pretty trivial. For example, printers weren't available in self-service yet. We found a way to accomplish this another way in Kandji. Also, this issue is slated to be resolved soon.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are pushing out security policies and applications to our fleet of Macs, Apple TVs, and iOS devices. Kandji has made changing our antivirus solution a breeze. We removed the old program, installed system extensions, set permissions, and pushed out the new client in just a matter of minutes.
Kandji is a great Apple MDM with lots of potential
What do you like best about the product?
Kandji makes it easy to deploy apps and has a unified blueprint for all my devices. The enrollment and deployment are excellent, and we're excited for it to get even better. We're delighted with the fast-paced rollout of features that the platform offers. Since we first became a customer, Kandji has rolled out SAML SSO, self-service, self-service custom packages & scripts, new auto packages, and many more features. We're also really excited for a new upcoming feature called Kandji liftoff!
What do you dislike about the product?
The blueprint ideology behind the platform is a double-edged sword, and it allows us to have a blueprint for all of our devices where each system is very similar to one another. The BAD thing is it makes testing tricky and cumbersome. We have to create a new blueprint if we want to try a feature or library item and move all our devices into that new blueprint, which leaves a lot of room for errors. I imagine Kandji would be hard to use at large enterprise organization with the blueprint system.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We're solving vulnerability management with Kandji because their auto-apps make it really easy to update software without it being too intrusive on the end-user. We also don't have to constantly update our packages which is great.
Easy to use, intuitive, great customer support
What do you like best about the product?
Great customer support, easy to use, intiutive design
What do you dislike about the product?
For Mac/iPhone exclusively so can't accomodate Windows at all
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Great MDM system for Mac admins who might not have the most system administration experience but want to have state of the art quality and security. Helps us have secure baseline configurations on our Mac-only workstation fleet - super useful and essentially touchless/fully automated once you configure the rollout (which is also super easy). Also very easy to troubleshoot with a really pleasant and responsive customer support team.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you have a Mac-only fleet Kandji is the tool to use. (If you use Windows devices, you'll have to look elsewhewhere, though.) I did a fair amount of searching because I wanted a tool that I could use to secure our workstations with minimal system administration experience and the ease of use of the system itself and the support was the best by far.
Above and Beyond
What do you like best about the product?
Out of all the MDM's we vetted, Kandji, by far, was the most organized and willing to help. They were an immense help when it came to the rollout and deployment of not only Kandji but also that of other applications and configurations. The integrated app library is a huge plus, as well as the ability to upload custom apps and scripts. Overall we are happy to partner with Kandji.
What do you dislike about the product?
If I had to nitpick, it would be that they are not a massive player in the MDM space yet; this attributes to somewhat of a lack of documentation when it comes to integrating and deploying custom software. However, Kandji has been more than willing to offer aid when needed.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The biggest problem that Kandji solved for us is to fill the void that Fleetsmith left. Feature's that left Fleetsmith due to the Apple acquisition were present on Kandji, which was a massive plus for us. Kandji has continued to allow us complete control of our fleet of MacOs and iOS products.
Amazing Features, easy to use, always update to date MDM
What do you like best about the product?
What I love the best about Kandji is their new and innovative approach to being a Mac MDM. Having used Jamf (on-prem), they have an antiquated system with the need for updates through SQL and Java. With Kandji, it's always up to date managed on a cloud server, has Auto apps, and a seamless and flawless way to back up Filevault keys. The idea of blueprints is just amazing makes managing macs for different departments a breeze. Kandji having access to Google Workspace is amazing to make setting up new users and assigning blueprints easy. With Jamf, this would require many different policies and scripts. Kandji is always adding new features. They added SAML SSO recently and Selfservice, and now adding no-touch deployment (lift-off) will make it an even more seamless experience for the end-user. With Self Service, they have improved greatly with what other companies have in their self-service. They allow for richer features. Such as Dark mode making self-service look like it's a native mac app with Mac OS-like design. Popular adds get added to Kandji's Auto app section, which allows you to have Kandji auto-update the apps, so you don't need to bug your end-users to update the app or upload the newest package over to your MDM. Kandji allows for custom apps to be added right from the browser, unlike some other MDM where you need to upload it to a separate app then show up on the browser.
The customer support is crazy good with Kandji. You can hit a button and be chatting with someone who can help vs Jamf where you are in Jamf Nation searching through someone else who is having a similar issue there is no support with Jamf

What do you dislike about the product?
When I first looked into Kandji, they lacked things such as Self Service and Custom apps, but after talking to them and understanding this is on their road map, I took a chance and believed in them. Kandji did not disappoint. They are just like Apple. They may not bring the feature first to the market, but they have refined the feature to work without flaws, unlike the others. Kandji doesn't have to report yet but they are working on that and at least with Jamf I could never rely on that being the source of truth vs using another software that is built more for that. Just because another software has a lot more features doesn't make them better if anything I think it wears them thin.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The intial problem we were solving with Kandji is how we can deploy New Mac OS's without having to waste a day with updating Jamf as well as why did my script in Jamf to update software we use just not work sometimes. The Benefits I have realized with Kandji is amazing quick support, being able to always have my fleet of computer have Mac OS up to date as well as ensure all my users their software from Self Service all up to date to ensure we are secure.
Amazing UI, even better customer support.
What do you like best about the product?
Kandji makes it incredibly easy to manage Apple products from the easy-to-use interface, easy-to-use Auto-Apps, to the amazing support team. I can go on and on about how incredible the customer service is at Kandji. They are always willing to help us with any questions we may have, no matter how small the issue is. They are incredibly attentive and are always ready to help. 10/10 experience. From the first demo we received, the team at Kandji was on top of their game and were on the call to listen to our requirements in an MDM and show us what they have to offer. Throughout our demo period, they were there to support us to make sure that our team was ready to utilize the platform to its fullest. One of the main reasons that we chose Kandji was because of the incredibly good-looking UI. And, although some products look pretty but have nothing going on under the hood, Kandji is nothing like that. Kandji looks amazing and works, it just works. They have taken the Apple MDM solution and have made it simple and user-friendly with Mac Admins in mind without compromising on any functionality that might be needed. Amazing product!
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing. Our experience with Kandji has been nothing but the best.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our biggest problem that we have been able to solve with Kandji was the ability to manage security policies on our Macs after we switched to working from home. We are now able to ensure that our users are fully safe while using their machines remotely.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Kandji has seriously changed the game with Apple Device Management. They have produced a product that is not only easy to use, but it is also great looking and to simply put it, it just works! Their support team is by far the best support team that I have had the pleasure of doing business with, along with the amazing sales/account management team. I urge every Apple Admin to have a look at Kandji and give it a shot, you will not be dissappointed.
Kandji - Best MDM for macOS!
What do you like best about the product?
Ease of use. Features like AutoApps and rotating FileVault keys make Kandji secure, easy to use and up to date!
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing so far! The team at Kandji has been super responsive to all requests and they're happy to help out wherever they can.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Securing our MacBook fleet and enabling quicker updates.
Extremely Flexible "MDM plus"
What do you like best about the product?
Granularity and flexibility. Custom apps are dead simple. Easily scriptable. Great chat- or helpdesk-based support. The interface is a great foundation for more to come.
What do you dislike about the product?
The automatic app catalog could be larger, but the single best workaround would be tighter Volume Purchase Apps/Books integration. My biggest gripe is that I can't deploy a single app to a single device. Because this is such a nagging concern, I'm reminded that Kandji's roadmap isn't public, though we have been told it will be. I would also appreciate more willingness to Zoom for support. The emailing and chatting can get laborious, and aren't saving either party any time.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Just a little worldwide pandemic and remote workers. We have a lot more flexibility in how we manage machines that we NEVER lay physical hands on. The other huge problem facing us was migrating from a defunct MDM to Kandji during the summer of 2020, with a fleet dispersed across many states. There wasn't room for error, and after thorough testing with Kandji's support team, we made the migration with only the tiniest of issues.
