Considered Both Products

Chose Kandji
Both MDMs have issues with employee's laptop passwords and being able to reset those password. We switched to Kandji because laptop PWs were connected to Gmail PWs. However, there were continous "password sync" errors that it ended up being a huge headache for everyone.
Chose Kandji
Overall, my organization is an iOS-heavy company, and Kandji struck a good balance of user experience and good automations.
Chose Kandji
With Intune, they aren’t friendly with Macs. We had to add each app individually and constantly update the packages for updates. Even when we do everything right, it still doesn’t work all the time.

Its not on the individual points where Trend stands out but the holistic security you get. In general other vendors buy solutions, sell then integrate into their product portfolio. This approach which leads to installation and interoperability issues as well as adding more …

McAfee was very heavy for our android devices and didn’t work well and we were paying a high rate and we were getting nothing out of it but later we switched to Trend Micro Mobile security and we are highly glad about it and it is accomplishing everything we needed from such …

Kandji would be excellent for a company that has Mac fleets and is currently using Intune or Jamf as their MDM. Kandji is cheaper than Jamf and way easy to configure than Intune.

This software is good at providing security to mobile devices. If someone is doing and performing major tasks of his organization via phone then he should have this software installed in his device so as to ensure protection and to protect data from any mishap of the attack of viruses and Malware. It is also good in blocking calls and spam messages.

Usability
Switching from our old MDM to Kandji: "We'll set you right up with an integration specialist" and it'll be "so easy." Greatly incorrect. The change took months and was a disaster at best. So many things I had to figure out that they never mentioned, or I had to keep going back to them to get more information. "Oh, we forgot to mention that!" - said about a dozen times. Also, I had to go to our former MDM to ask them how to do it because "Kandji can only help on the Kandji side of things - not the other MDM side." Well yes, but then don't make it sound like you can and will do that part in the first place!

Its not on the individual points where Trend stands out but the holistic security you get. In general other vendors buy solutions, sell then integrate into their product portfolio. This approach which leads to installation and interoperability issues as well as adding more screens to watch for the real life view on the endpoint. Trend, in my experience, do not launch immature applications to market and when it comes out it works well with the other Trend applications in the estate, it plays nice with others also.

Return on Investment
  • They promised us we could add devices as needed. I even had that written in an email. However, they rescinded that promise and required us to add devices in buckets of 50. That means, since we had 55 users, we had to pay for 100 licenses.
  • Password issues were made much worse by using Kandji instead of our old MDM (Hexnode).
  • Overall, Kandji created major headaches with laptop instead of improving.
