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.

Effective, fast risk reduction with critical threat intelligence updates
The dashboarding and reporting functionality of Zafran Security is an area that definitely could use some improvements. Overall, you get some dashboards and widgets to start with that are helpful, but customization was lacking. It is definitely a weaker point of the product right now, but am confident this will be changing soon!

Pros

"I have seen a return on investment with Kandji, as I save time."
"Kandji has positively impacted our organization by making it so we feel confident in our security structure, and we feel confident that we can pass SOC 2 every year because we know that Kandji is doing what it says it's doing."
"Kandji has positively impacted my organization because it is very user-friendly, and among the multiple MDM solutions I have used, such as JumpCloud and Intune, Kandji stands out as one of the best for Mac devices."
"Kandji has positively impacted my organization because many things happen through Kandji, especially on the laptops and desktops at the infrastructure workspace level."
"Kandji offers excellent features, including the ability to erase devices remotely without needing to be in front of the laptop."
"Kandji has positively impacted my organization by increasing our security, reducing our resolution times, and ensuring that all employees who work from home have their computers working from day one."
"The customer support at Kandji is phenomenal and is the best I have experienced from any vendor."
"Kandji has positively impacted my organization because it was very easy to implement and manage all of our devices, especially when we manage with the ISO and SOC 2 certifications that we need for our organization."
"We are able to see the real risk of a vulnerability on our environment with our security tools."
"Zafran is an excellent tool."
"With Zafran Security, it integrates with your security controls, allowing you to take that risk score and reduce it based on the controls in place or increase the risk based on different factors, such as if the issue is internet reachable or if there's an exploit in the wild."
"Overall, we have seen about eighty-seven percent reduction of the number of vulnerabilities that require urgency to remediate, specifically the number of criticals."
"Zafran has become an indispensable tool in our cybersecurity arsenal."
"We saw benefits from Zafran Security almost immediately after deploying it."
 

Cons

"One area for improvement for Kandji would be having a bigger suite of applications."
"Kandji can definitely be improved by the complexity. I feel we cannot necessarily tweak the Blueprints in the ways that we need to or there are just complex one-off situations where we need more customization and more ability to run custom scripts."
"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, making it potentially pricey for startups, yet a good cost for established enterprises."
"While I do not have anything specific to add about the features, I do think there is a lack of flexibility in Kandji."
"The Windows part needs a lot of work."
"I rated Kandji an eight because the laptop needs to be connected to Wi-Fi to erase it."
"One area for improvement for Kandji would be having a bigger suite of applications."
"Kandji should give open customization."
"Initially, we were somewhat concerned about the scalability of Zafran due to our large asset count and the substantial amount of information we needed to process."
"The dashboarding and reporting functionality of Zafran Security is an area that definitely could use some improvements."
"I think the ability to have some enhanced reporting capabilities is something they can improve on, as they have good reports but we have asked for some specific reporting enhancements."
