Gained full visibility and streamlined threat detection through behavior-based insights and AI integration
Initially, we got to have a lot of false positives when we onboarded, but nowadays it's quite smooth. We have fine-tuned our security policies and allowed different levels of policies to get rid of those false positives. Currently, we are getting a fairly good amount of incidents that are not false positives or benign, but actionable items. The process is streamlined. In the initial days, the operations used to get involved in a lot of benign and other activities, but now the process is streamlined. We are leveraging the auto-detection and remediation plans. The operations teams are now more involved in other business roles as well, not just looking into the logs and fetching out what's happening there. They have fixed a lot of things. Initially, they didn't have IAC code drift detection, cloud posture management, or security posture management, but they have those now. They purchased different vendors and did a merger with that. They have now Prisma Cloud that gets integrated and now they are working with Cortex Cloud. Everything that was negative has now been addressed, and the product altogether looks to be in a very better and mature shape now. Currently, it's more or less detecting the workloads with AI-based best practices. Since most organizations are consuming AI agents and other things, we are looking forward to seeing what other feature enhancements Palo Alto can support in that.

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.
