CallStream helps us integrate and automate tasks.
Senior Security Consultant at CyberNxt Solutions LLP
The time saved includes processes such as software installation, as previously we needed to take a user device remotely, but with Kandji, we can initiate software installation from the back end, which is a significant time saver.
Security Engineer at Corsearch
We went from one hour for resolution time per device to 15 minutes, allowing us to save more than 50 hours of support time in a year.
IT Corporate Engineer at Shippo
I have seen a return on investment with Kandji, estimating that time saved is at least 20 to 30%, as individuals do not have to figure out which security updates to carry out themselves since the notification is pushed for them to review and install.

Room For Improvement

Users recommend enhancing compliance, UI, integration, and reporting, improving security features, and optimizing pricing and navigation for Qualys TotalCloud.
Cybersixgill users seek UI improvements, better training resources, real-time data, and expanded dark web information sources for enhancement.

Ideally, the scanner should automatically detect and scan all subdomains, even if not explicitly defined, ensuring comprehensive vulnerability assessment.

Ideally, updates should be more immediate, enabling quicker implementation of solutions.
Project Lead at Persistent Systems
Our goal is to integrate all these functions into Qualys, creating a single dashboard for comprehensive security monitoring and management.
Senior Information Security Engineer at a consultancy with 10,001+ employees
The simplicity and straightforwardness are its strongest attributes.

However, it often takes more than thirty minutes to execute the command, and sometimes it fails.
TechOps Engineer at a financial services firm with 201-500 employees
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.

Qualys TotalCloud is expensive, but it offers a premier solution with no headaches.
Vice President at Inspira Enterprise
It is cheap.
TechOps Engineer at a financial services firm with 201-500 employees
The pricing is not published publicly, requiring interaction with sales representatives for details.
Cloud Ops Lead at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees
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.

We are enjoying the new feature, FlexScan, which is valuable for Internet-facing VMs.
Senior Consultant at a consultancy with 10,001+ employees
The best feature that Cybersixgill offers with respect to dark web intelligence is that they provide very good screenshots of where the particular data has been taken, which allows for better visualization and understanding of the scenario, with the source being indicated through onion links that can be reverse-engineered for further investigation.
Associate at a financial services firm with 10,001+ employees
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.
Cloud Ops Lead at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees
It is reliable, a modern approach to managing Apple devices, and with features in blueprints, smart apps, and consistently reliable performance, I do not think Jamf really comes close.
IT Support Technician at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees
The Auto Apps function is brilliant. It takes 20 seconds to push out a new app, and it automatically updates. This function really saves time.

Unified risk scoring has improved our cloud visibility and simplifies remediation priorities
Qualys TotalCloud provides unified vulnerability and threat assessment across both IAS and SaaS. This solution provides a single prioritized view of risk, which helps reduce the work I would have to do. We are no longer based on CVSS; we are based on Qualys risk scoring, which is based on CVSS plus internal findings made by Qualys, and then assigns its own score. The TruRisk insight feature has found a small number of assets with high vulnerability scores, though I am cautious since some information is classified. Qualys TotalCloud has positively impacted our bank's performance, and we have definitely seen benefits after implementing this solution.

Centralized threat insights have enabled comprehensive dark web exposure reporting
The best feature that Cybersixgill offers with respect to dark web intelligence is that they provide very good screenshots of where the particular data has been taken, which allows for better visualization and understanding of the scenario, with the source being indicated through onion links that can be reverse-engineered for further investigation. We were really impressed by some of the features of the platform, and we were planning to integrate it into our day-to-day work, but I'm not certain whether that happened because I was serving a notice period at that time.

Strong security structure has supported fast Mac and iOS administration with minimal IT effort
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.
