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 most valuable feature of this solution, in my opinion, is its simplicity."
"The flexibility of the solution has been great."
"Teams and SharePoint are both great."
"The scalability is very good."
"I appreciate the mobility of this solution."
"The stability of the product is excellent."
"The solution is very flexible and the UI is user-friendly."
"The best thing about the product is the ecosystem of it. As most of our users are using Windows and it's a product of Microsoft, we find we get amazing performance."
 

Cons

"Kandji should give open customization."
"There should be more alignment between Windows solutions, mobile solutions, and web solutions."
"The cost is a bit high."
"It could be flexible in terms of working with other cloud-based solutions."
"They should simplify breakout rooms a bit. Breakout rooms are probably the most important factor. They have done some work on breakout rooms, but they probably have to do a bit more to make them simpler."
"From the perspective of a developer, the interface could be more user-friendly. It is quite difficult to use."
"The product lacks certain drawing tool capabilities."
"One of the only aspects that I do not like about Microsoft is that they release solutions into the market without testing them and rely on users to test them."
"Microsoft 365 could be less expensive."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Users have to pay a yearly licensing fee for Kandji, which is expensive."
"The solution is moderately priced for what it offers."
"Now you can select different licenses, for example, if somebody doesn't need all of the features, it would cost $8 USD per month and if they didn't need the email application then it would cost $6 USD per month."
"The price of the solution could be reduced, it is expensive. We recommend customers purchase annual subscriptions because they receive a discount of two free months."
"In general, the product offers different licenses at different prices based on which users have to determine the features they want in the product. My company has P1 and P2 licenses from Microsoft."
"It is quite expensive."
"This is an expensive product because it is subscription-based, which is always more expensive than a perpetual license."
"It is probably not cheap, but you can't really compare it with anything else."
"Pricing can always be improved."
