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. 

Competitor 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.

Competitor Shortcomings:

  • Limited features: According to G2 users, one of Kandji’s biggest challenges is that its platform could improve several of its features, including alerts and notifications on Slack and email, as well as remote shell commands per device. 
  • No support for other OSs: Designed specifically for Apple-only environments, this solution would not be compatible with hybrid set-ups and 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.

Why your peers choose us over Kandji

Kandji is an Apple-centric MDM that helps IT teams monitor and manage all their Apple devices. That said, its greatest strength is also its biggest weakness: It offers little to no support for other operating systems. 

Comparatively, NinjaOne helps IT organizations reduce cost and complexity by managing Android and Apple mobile devices and their Windows, macOS, Linux, VMs, and SNMP devices within a single pane of glass. This makes NinjaOne an all-in-one solution that IT enterprises of all sizes across all industries can use.

Here’s What Our Customers Say About Us

The best thing about our switch to NinjaOne from our previous RMM product is how it boils down the essence of the RMM platform. All the features you want are front and center with very easy configuration methods without other features and settings getting in your way.

Chris Saas, Owner, OWC Pro IT Services

NinjaOne is incredibly easy to use, combining a fluid interface with powerful back-end features. There’s no complicated setup, or difficult to manage interface. All options and tools are clearly labeled, easy to understand, and the interface is… easy to navigate.
