Review summaries and opinions

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

ROI

Sentiment score

6.9

Kandji streamlines IT management, reduces deployment costs, and boosts efficiency, enabling single-person management for hundreds of devices.

Sentiment score

6.2

Snyk enhances efficiency and security, reducing vulnerabilities and costs, improving productivity, and offering immediate value to developers.

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.

Abhishek-Roy

Tech Support Engineer at Aleph

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.

Felipe Blanco

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

Krishan Rawat

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.

It lacks the ability to select branches on its Web UI, forcing users to rely on CLI or CI/CD for that functionality.

Valuable Features

Kandji simplifies device management with user-friendly features and automation, enhancing security and efficiency for diverse teams managing devices.

Snyk enhances security with AI-powered vulnerability scanning, seamless integration, and efficient management across various tools and programming languages.

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.

reviewer2795433

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.

Steffan Rowe

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.

Tomas Palmlöf

Our integration of Snyk into GitHub allows us to automatically scan codebases and identify issues, which has improved efficiency.

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.

Improves security posture by actively reducing critical vulnerabilities and guiding remediation

Snyk's main features include open-source vulnerability scanning, code security, container security, infrastructure as code security, risk-based prioritization, development-first integration, continuous monitoring and alerting, automation, and remediation. The best features I appreciate are the vulnerability checking, vulnerability scanning, and code security capabilities, as Snyk scans all open-source dependencies for known vulnerabilities and helps with license compliance for open-source components. Snyk integrates into IDEs, allowing issues to be caught as they appear in the code dynamically and prioritizes risk while providing remediation advice. Snyk provides actionable remediation advice on where vulnerabilities can exist and where code security is compromised, automatically scanning everything and providing timely alerts. Snyk has positively impacted my organization by improving the security posture across all software repositories, resulting in fewer critical vulnerabilities, more confidence in overall product security, and faster security compliance for project clients. Snyk has helped reduce vulnerabilities significantly. Initially, the repository had 17 to 31 critical and high vulnerabilities, but Snyk has helped manage them down to just five vulnerabilities, which are now lower and not high or critical.
