    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 program really excels at basic mobile protection against malware and viruses. It offers some unique features as its anti-theft application that can help keep mobile devices from being used by unauthorized users. It works well when providing basic security for mobile devices out in the field or in remote work situations. However, it companies may need more extensive or additional security applications to ensure adequate protection

    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.

    • The program could use some improvement in its setup and installation process.
    • Another area needing improvement could be its interactive interface.
    • Perhaps a learning tutorial or guide could be added to the application.

    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.

    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

    McAfee Mobile Data Protection offers basic security measures for mobile computing devices without a high cost or extensive training. However, it also may lack some needed features such as data encryption utilized by other products. While its interface is not perfect, it is easier to learn than more feature robust products on the market.

    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.

    • McAfee Mobile Data Protection provides a fairly easy and low cost security measure for providing basic to medium security for mobile devices. While not perfect, it does it basic job fairly well.
    • The program may require a bit of a learning curve for some end users with its interface and installation processes. This may require some additional training or support.
    • The program lacks some of the more advanced data protection abilities found in other competitor products. The result may be a need for additional security applications.
