    Kandji is well-suited for the following: - Onboarding remote employees (we are a remote company). Kandji offers zero-touch deployment via Apple Business Manager, making it incredibly easy to configure our Macs. -Maintaining security and compliance for Apple devices -Managing a fleet of iOS devices in the field. Where it's less appropriate: -When there is a mixed OS environment -If you have a highly custom or script-heavy environment.

    The experience using SOTI MobiControl has been excellent as a user. My notebook and smartphone devices have the security policy applied and it works perfectly. I have all the apps I need to work installed, up to date and with no issues. All devices are tracked by the software and are safe in case of theft, and the information contained in the devices is erased remotely. Each group/user has their permissions specified according to what they need and that makes things even more secure. I recommend SOTI MobiControl for its ease of use and security and for not slowing down my devices.

    Cons
    Kandji
    • Problem after problem after problem with employees getting locked out of their laptops, (which was the whole reason we switched to Kandji - to prevent that from happening), employees ultimately having to factory reset their laptops to get back in, pop-ups that never go away, and continuous password sync issues.

    Usability
    Kandji
    I gave it an 8/10 because overall, it offers a spotless and intuitive interface that makes routine device management easy. Features such as onboarding, app deployment, and compliance enforcement are handy, thanks to the various blueprints we can set up. The only reason I didn't give it a 10 is that it lacks some advanced configurations, and the reporting aspect is not as customizable.

    I support other users with the help of this tool. I really like the remote support functionality. You can make screenshots or even capture videos. If you face network problems, the tool doesn't help at all. It might be helpful, if they would develop a kind of offline support mechanism. So that there is some kind of logging even when there is no network and we can check the logs afterwards (or do video capture while being offline, etc.).

    We had a feature request. They accepted the request, but couldn't tell us whether the feature will be developed or when. I think this is not helpful for us as a customer. We do not always ask the SOTI MobiControl for help but other consultants. I think that is quite expensive.

    With Intune, they aren’t friendly with Macs. We had to add each app individually and constantly update the packages for updates. Even when we do everything right, it still doesn’t work all the time

    MobiXontrol allows more access to different types of devices. I also appreciate the ability to separate out the devices by type to make searching easier. The real-time access to what the user is seeing is much better with MobiControl.

    Return on Investment
    Kandji
    • They promised us we could add devices as needed. I even had that written in an email. However, they rescinded that promise and required us to add devices in buckets of 50. That means, since we had 55 users, we had to pay for 100 licenses.
    • Password issues were made much worse by using Kandji instead of our old MDM (Hexnode).
    • Overall, Kandji created major headaches with laptop instead of improving.
