Featured Reviews

Amit-Sarkar - PeerSpot reviewer
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.
CharlesBrewer - PeerSpot reviewer
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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It's a very easy plug-and-play solution where you can just enroll the devices and choose the features you want."
"The product's initial setup phase was straightforward."
"We're very comfortable with the solution. Since we've been used the product for so long, we're very comfortable with its functionalities."
"It's great that one user can log onto many different devices."
"All the development that they've done in Teams recently has been great."
"The features such as meetings connected with Microsoft Teams and the integration is fabulous."
"It has file storage, file sharing, a provisioning box, and a SharePoint profile for each user."
"It is a collaborative platform, so you can do everything in one place."
"The most valuable feature for us is Microsoft Teams."
 

Cons

"Kandji should give open customization."
"Lacks ability to deploy on more than two devices per license."
"Tech support is not that feasible. The Microsoft team is not easily accessible."
"The solution could improve by allowing more integration."
"n the future, a dashboard should be included."
"There should be more alignment between Windows solutions, mobile solutions, and web solutions."
"365 Business' workflow should be better integrated into our current ERP systems. We are running two different ERP systems that are integrated, so it would make sense in the future to have those systems integrated into a content management workflow system."
"Microsoft 365 Business needs to improve its price."
"In the next release of this solution, there is a need to improve the integration with other platforms."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Users have to pay a yearly licensing fee for Kandji, which is expensive."
"It is probably not cheap, but you can't really compare it with anything else."
"Microsoft 365 Business could be cheaper."
"The licensing costs are not expensive."
"The program is inexpensive."
"The product is expensive and the licensing costs are yearly."
"If you go with Microsoft, they will give you 80 GB in advance and all those kinds of features. They will also keep asking you to go from E1 to E2, E2 to E3, and now E5. Their prices are high, but as long as the organization is happy to pay and your emails are working seamlessly, it shouldn't be an issue."
"We pay annually for the license."
"We pay regular licensing fees to continue using Microsoft 365 Business."
