Executive Summary

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
5.2
Wiz delivers significant ROI with streamlined security management, reduced costs, and improved operations, despite high cost challenges in some regions.
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.
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.
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.
Cloud Ops Lead at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees
We have seen ROI from Wiz and we continued to see value in Wiz.
CyberSecurity Sr Manager at a retailer with 10,001+ employees
I think we're reaching the point where we'll see a return on investment, and we'll be there by the end of the year.
Senior Information Security Engineer at a financial services firm with 1,001-5,000 employees
We estimate a cost reduction of around 35% to 50%, or even more, due to consolidating our security management into one platform.

You just go to the help section and can chat directly to get instant support.

On a scale from 1 to 10, I would give Wiz's support a 10.

Kandji scales well for small to medium businesses, efficiently accommodating growth, but may challenge very large organizations needing flexibility.
Sentiment score
7.7
Wiz excels in scalability and integration, efficiently handling large workloads, though some users face cost management challenges.
Kandji's scalability is quite good, though I do see a concern once organizations start getting really large and need more flexibility.
IT Support Technician at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees
I think Kandji is a perfect choice for growing small companies that become medium-sized or even bigger.
IT Operation Manager at a retailer with 201-500 employees
Kandji's scalability is perfect, as my organization grew from 180 to almost 300 devices with no bottlenecks.
IT Corporate Engineer at Shippo
We have deployed Wiz in three organizations on AWS, each with approximately 70 to 80 accounts, totaling more than 120 accounts.
AWS Cloud Security Engineer at a tech services company with 51-200 employees
Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten.
Business Line Manager at S2E
Our environment quadrupled in size. We didn’t have to make any adjustments or configuration changes; it just accommodated the growth.

Room For Improvement

Kandji users want more customization, improved reliability, better pricing, and enhanced features to match competitors for greater satisfaction.
Wiz users seek enhanced reporting, integrations, security, real-time detection, automation, reduced false positives, cost efficiency, and AI integration.
The simplicity and straightforwardness are its strongest attributes.
IT Support Technician at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees
However, it often takes more than thirty minutes to execute the command, and sometimes it fails.
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.
SysAdmin at a recreational facilities/services company with 11-50 employees
We would like to see preventive controls that can be applied through Wiz to protect against vulnerabilities that we're not going to be able to remediate immediately.
CyberSecurity Sr Manager at a retailer with 10,001+ employees
One significant area for improvement would be increasing automation. While they excel at identifying issues, we need assistance in minimizing the human hours required for tasks.
Principal Engineer at Aviatrix
Adding AI-driven features could significantly assist developers in addressing vulnerabilities more efficiently, thereby improving deployment times and adherence to deadlines.
Senior Engineer at a insurance company with 10,001+ employees
 

Setup Cost

Kandji's expensive pricing involves a yearly fee, suitable for large organizations, requiring sales engagement for non-disclosed costs.
Wiz's pricing is fair yet potentially costly, with concerns over transparency despite its value from comprehensive features.
It is cheap.
TechOps Engineer at a financial services firm with 201-500 employees
The pricing is not published publicly, requiring interaction with sales representatives for details.
Cloud Ops Lead at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees
While it might be on the expensive side compared to Jamf Pro, it is closer in pricing to other MDMs such as Microsoft Intune, which comes with the EMS E3 license.
Technical Lead at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees
We are paying 250k per year.
Project Manager at Hilti
In some cases, it has a very aggressive price, so very cheap.
Business Line Manager at S2E
I don’t think there’s anyone else out there offering the same level, scale, or efficiency.
Principal Engineer at Aviatrix
 

Valuable Features

Kandji simplifies device management with user-friendly features and automation, enhancing security and efficiency for diverse teams managing devices.
Wiz offers comprehensive cloud security visibility with agentless scanning, AI analytics, automation, and seamless multi-cloud integration for robust protection.
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.
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.
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.
IT Operation Manager at a retailer with 201-500 employees
The ability to scan every layer without agents is a huge selling point because we're multi-agent.
Senior Information Security Engineer at a financial services firm with 1,001-5,000 employees
The feature leads to minimal false positives and a low volume of alerts, which is highly valuable for our operations.
Cloud Security Lead at a computer software company with 5,001-10,000 employees
It's highly customizable, allowing us to manage many custom features effectively.
Project Manager at Hilti

SysAdmin at a recreational facilities/services company with 11-50 employees
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.
Peter Whelan - PeerSpot reviewer
CISO at a computer software company with 1,001-5,000 employees
Improved our security posture thanks to comprehensive visibility
I have contacted Wiz technical support frequently. The support is excellent. We contact via an in-application portal. We can see the support cases we personally open, and also the cases that other people have opened from our company. I appreciate that feature. Generally, support gets back to us within a few days with a good answer. There was one fellow in particular who has been knocking it out of the park. He is a great support person to deal with. We are happy with the support experience. If I were to put Wiz support on a scale from one to ten, I would give them a ten.
