An easy-to-manage and deploy solution, but it should provide open customization

You don't need a certification or great knowledge to manage and deploy the solution because it's not complex. It's a very easy plug-and-play solution where you can just enroll the devices and choose the features you want. Kandji doesn't require much customization because it has built-in features that we have to create manually otherwise.

Price and reliability need improvement while general tasks are streamlined

The pricing for Microsoft 365 is too high, and quality-wise, it does not meet high standards. The operating system is outdated and inadequate. Microsoft has very poor security, and Defender is ineffective. In terms of collaboration and file sharing, OneDrive is very clunky and has frequent sync issues. It also crashes a lot and is unreliable.

Cons

"Kandji should give open customization."

"The price could always be better. I live in Turkey, our economy is not very good."

"Windows should be included with the solution since Microsoft is heading towards an SaaS-, cloud-based model."

"Some of the functionalities available in the desktop version are not available on the cloud."

"The pricing for this solution could be improved."

"If Business 365's documentation were better, then the user could read it and fix their issues by themselves. Microsoft could also add some more detailed pop-up troubleshooting messages. When a user has a problem, the messages they get don't help much."

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

"The price is fine."

"It has a subscription-based model, so we need to procure as many licenses as required as part of an enterprise agreement. It is a little bit expensive. It is definitely a bit more expensive than other solutions that are on-premises. It is also expensive as compared to the cloud-based solutions from other companies. However, when we look at the ease of use of the product and the adoption by the users, its cost can definitely be considered as comparable to other products. The features that we get in this solution are not available in solutions from its competitors."

"USD $1,250 annually for the standard package."

"The cost is on the high end, particularly when you have multiple users."

"Microsoft 365 Business is expensive."

"The solution is very cheap."

"There is a licensing fee that is quite expensive. However, the solution is useful and the price is equal to the value."

"The licenses could be cheaper."
