Enables management of multiple operating systems with a single license

The best feature is that it's a Microsoft product, so if anything goes wrong, we get quick support for anything required. Remote system functionality allows us to sit anywhere and take control of any device via remote management. We can enhance security for clients' laptops with built-in Microsoft Defender, which is available with the Microsoft Intune license. We use it for reporting purposes through endpoint analytics. When pushing scripting, there are two types available: remediation script and reservation script. Through endpoint analytics, you can push defender policies to clients. It helps with reporting, inventory updates, and monitoring tenant status health.

IT Mobility Support Analyst at a financial services firm with 5,001-10,000 employees

Helpful technical support, and performs well, but initial setup could be simplified

They are constantly improving the scalability of BlackBerry Enterprise Mobility Suite. More collaborative features are being developed. I know they have integrations with a lot of other vendors and applications, and it's constantly growing. Our company has approximately 3,000 users. I would say we have ten people for actual administrative roles with Blackberry.

Cloud Ops Lead at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees

Automated updates have strengthened security and save me time on daily device management

In my opinion, the best features Kandji offers are its UI, which is very clean and clear to use, not overly cluttered, allowing me to see the icon of all the different apps that I can install, and when I click on the little icon in my toolbar, it shows me any updates which I am able to install, making it very easy to use. The clean UI and ease of use definitely save me time, probably cutting the time in half for trying to figure out when to install updates myself, because the notifications are pushed to me, which is good since I want to keep my system up to date without interfering with my workflow. Kandji has impacted my organization positively by definitely increasing security because it notifies you when an update is ready to be installed, and if you do not install it within a reasonable time frame, it would automatically install it, which is good, and it probably has saved at least 30% of my time from manually having to look for updates since it just notifies me when the update is ready. Kandji's automatic installation feature ensures our team's compliance or security posture, as it makes sure we are up to date and all on the same version of a particular tool, which is very important for a technical IT team to avoid differences that might affect functionality.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We have used conditional access policies to prevent users from copying internal resources or internal data to external devices, which has helped protect our organizations from being compromised."

"Implementing Microsoft Intune is easy."

"Our bank's most valuable Intune features are centered around the dedicated device concept."

"It is a wonderful product; I would advise others to go for it because it is definitely helpful for an enterprise and has been improving constantly."

"It's easy to manage."

"Agile and easy to deploy MDM solution that covers the maximum number of policies. Stable, scalable, and with knowledgeable technical support."

"By using Microsoft Intune, I can control my Outlook on my phone, and whenever I try to open any file attachment, it will be more secure."

"Microsoft Intune is cost-effective and easy to use, so I can recommend it."

More Microsoft Intune pros

"Compared to the product that we upgraded from, we have received great responses from our end users who are appreciative of the following: They can access their calendar in events better than the other product that we were using."

"Provides access to our Lotus Notes system in a controlled and managed manner and is device agnostic with a similar interface for the gamet of devices in the market."

"It was an improvement when we got the Tasks and the Notes as well as Connect for Skype For Business."

"We are able to separate personal information and in the event of e breach, we are able to turn off access and/or delete this information."

"Security is the most valuable feature, because we are a financial institution, we have a large number of clients, and we have to make sure all communications are secure and PCI compliant."

"It allows me to be able to access my email when I do not necessarily have my computer with me. I can also access my calendar when I am on public transport or outside of the office."

"The functionality with UEM and BlackBerry Works, the shared calendar, is a massive improvement for us."

"Web-based management tools are handy for administrators to control the ACL."

More BlackBerry Enterprise Mobility Suite pros

"It's a very easy plug-and-play solution where you can just enroll the devices and choose the features you want."

"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."

Cons

"Intune endpoint analytics can be challenging."

"Intune's privilege management feature, while beneficial, is less intuitive than other Intune features, making it challenging to use."

"In my opinion, Microsoft Intune has room for improvement. The pricing could be a little better, and the reporting could be a little better as well."

"There is room for improvement in Microsoft Intune's understanding and user experience as the interface is easy to navigate for deploying applications and finding user information, but I think there should be a reduction in dependency on on-premises infrastructure and focus on artificial intelligence and automation to improve further."

"There's a significant discrepancy in Intune pricing between tenants."

"The Mac integration has room for improvement."

"The admin portal for Microsoft Intune is not yet on the same level as other Microsoft 365 admin portals when comparing the interface and user-friendliness."

"Sometimes the syncing is inconsistent. I'm confident that the devices are checking in every eight hours, but sometimes the devices aren't picking up the settings as quickly as I would expect."

More Microsoft Intune cons

"I know for the BlackBerry Connect, our users want to see more features, such as audio and video. I know the current version doesn't have that."

"It's too difficult to manage ourselves. We have to get a third-party in to do that. The fact that it breaks on some end-users' devices is also a concern and just the frequency and complexity of upgrades is not ideal."

"What I'm noticing now, and it feels like I took a step back, is that I have to zip logs again and upload them, and that takes a lot of time."

"It didn’t help us because we ran into lot of issues, and BlackBerry support couldn’t figure out the issues in a timely fashion."

"It's too difficult to manage ourselves. We have to get a third-party in to do that."

"We cannot integrate BlackBerry Edit from BlackBerry Enterprise. BlackBerry Edit has issues when we are editing any document. We have other internal applications that we can use for documents, but we cannot edit into BlackBerry Edit. There's room for improvement with editing documents."

"The only thing is that the UEM service is a little slow. We have a product production environment, and a test environment and both of them are a little slow. When you are using the UEM Web interface, it takes time to load."

"More devices supported like iOS, Android, and API so it can support various platforms to enhance the experience."

More BlackBerry Enterprise Mobility Suite cons

"Kandji should give open customization."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing for Intune and the competitor products are all within the same range, there is no true advantage when it comes to cost."

"It's affordable for the protection it gives. There are no additional costs."

"This cost is approximately $30 USD per user per month."

"If you're subscribing to Premium or E3, there are no additional costs for Intune, it's included."

"It is not a cheap solution. The price for a device when you start using it at a large scale can be improved. It is covered under our enterprise agreement. We pay once a year. I am not aware of any additional costs."

"The price of Microsoft Intune is reasonable."

"The solution is cost-efficient."

"I have no comment on pricing of the solution."

More Microsoft Intune pricing and cost advice

"It was on a yearly support contract, and the licenses were perpetual. There was also the implementation cost and the support cost for the integrator."

"We pay about $6 a year for the solution. There are no extra costs on top of that. You save a lot of money when you use this product."

"Sometimes, it is very hard to get an overview because there are so many different suites to find out what is the right thing for new customers."

"The licensing costs are paid on a yearly basis because we just renewed the license. If you have some big issue, they will also charge you."

"We are paying $200 annually. You also need to have a hardware server or a license for the server so there could be some additional fees added on to that."

"We currently pay by the year, but the licenses are calculated on a monthly basis."

"For the number of licenses, I believe it was approximately $500,000 per year, or for three years."

"In my opinion, we're paying an awful lot for what we get, compared to other vendors. I don't deal with the pricing, but it does seem to be a bit pricey for the things that we get, especially, when you compare them to other vendors, such as VMware, Citrix, who have all bought up other players in this space. VMware offers AirWatch free as part of their packages."

"Users have to pay a yearly licensing fee for Kandji, which is expensive."
