Great for productivity checking and provides good reports
We use this solution for password encryption and remote access. We are customers of ARCON This solution is good for productivity checking and provides good reports.  We've had instances where some parameters have disappeared and that is frustrating. The automation needs to be improved.  We've…

One area for improvement for Kandji would be having a bigger suite of applications. I noticed that some of the niche apps our data software firm needs were not in the regular library. We were able to use the custom app feature to create those apps ourselves, but I would love it if Kandji could expand the library. I also wish Kandji could lock down different ports on MacBooks based on which ones we wanted to shut down, and I hope there is an easier way to sandbox people's bring your own device devices because when we're doing SOC 2, it really wants us to sandbox things so that if someone were to take a device that is not ours, we could delete just our data off there and not theirs. An improvement needed for Kandji would be the ability to remote into devices. I would appreciate something that is really reliable for that without having to buy third-party software.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Good for productivity checking."
"The support for ARCON ARSIM is very good."
"It is very user friendly; there are not a lot of clicks and buttons, the tool helps me with the installations so the user can do the installation rather than having a technical guide, and I also like the browsing stream and its good dashboard."
"It is very user friendly. There are not a lot of clicks and buttons. The tool helps me with the installations. The user can do the installation rather than having a technical guide. I also like the browsing stream. It has a good dashboard."
"I would definitely advise anyone to look at it, it is a good product, quite stable and scalable, and for the requirements that we looked into, ARCON met the customer's needs."
"Kandji has positively impacted our organization by making it so we feel confident in our security structure, and we feel confident that we can pass SOC 2 every year because we know that Kandji is doing what it says it's doing."
"Kandji has positively impacted my organization because it is very user-friendly, and among the multiple MDM solutions I have used, such as JumpCloud and Intune, Kandji stands out as one of the best for Mac devices."
"The customer support at Kandji is phenomenal and is the best I have experienced from any vendor."
"Kandji offers excellent features, including the ability to erase devices remotely without needing to be in front of the laptop."
"Everything is now compliant and controlled, and we know where each device is, with all updates pushed and managed and licenses that they do not require."
"I have seen a return on investment with Kandji, as I save time."
"I highly recommend Kandji to others looking into using it since I have not seen any game-breaking issues; it is highly reliable, scalable, improves security, and reduces the time individuals need to spend on system configuration for security updates."
"Kandji has positively impacted our organization by making it easy to manage all of our MacBook devices and applications."
 

Cons

"I would love to have all the products. Currently they have all the server operating systems and network operating systems but they should have all the other devices also included, like security devices. That's what I think is missing. They should also improve the license audit part. If I want to do a license audit from this tool, I'm not able to do it right now."
"As for what can be improved, definitely pricing. Customers look for pricing and ARCON is a little more expensive than Thycotic. So the pricing model could be improved."
"They should also improve the license audit part. If I want to do a license audit from this tool, I'm not able to do it right now."
"As for what can be improved, definitely pricing. Customers look for pricing and ARCON is a little more expensive than Thycotic."
"The automation needs to be improved."
"While it might be on the expensive side compared to Jamf Pro, it is closer in pricing to other MDMs such as Microsoft Intune, which comes with the EMS E3 license, making it potentially pricey for startups, yet a good cost for established enterprises."
"I rated Kandji an eight because the laptop needs to be connected to Wi-Fi to erase it."
"One area for improvement for Kandji would be having a bigger suite of applications."
"The Windows part needs a lot of work."
"In Kandji, I see a drawback related to the remote wipe function."
"One way Kandji can be improved is through pricing, as other market providers comparatively have a lower price."
"While I do not have anything specific to add about the features, I do think there is a lack of flexibility in Kandji."
"I believe Kandji can be improved by having more self-service options, as users can complete a few steps before reaching out to IT support, which will give us more context on the issue."
