Who Kandji is best for

Kandji is best for IT teams managing Apple fleets, macOS, iOS and iPadOS, that want modern, automated, easy management with auto remediation and a polished experience, from startups and SMBs to enterprises. It suits Apple focused, automation minded teams.

Kandji offers automation that keeps devices compliant with little manual effort. Its modern automation, experience and ease are its defining advantages.

Integrations and ecosystem

Kandji integrates with Apple Business Manager, identity providers, security tools and business apps, with APIs. Its Apple and identity integration plus automation library, which let teams deploy, manage and auto remediate Apple devices smoothly, support its modern, automated approach, though its ecosystem is newer than Jamf's.

Kandji and automation

Automation and auto remediation are the signature strength: Kandji's prebuilt configurations automatically enforce and remediate device settings to keep them compliant without manual effort, and onboarding is near zero touch, so IT manages Apple fleets with far less work. For teams that want automated, low effort Apple management, this is the main reason to choose Kandji.

Ease of use and support

Kandji is among the highest rated endpoint tools, praised for its modern interface, automation and ease, with strong support. Its G2 reviews highlight automation, the polished experience and ease, with being newer and Apple only than the longest established Jamf the main consideration.

Is Kandji worth it?

For IT teams managing Apple fleets that want modern, automated, easy management with auto remediation and a polished experience, Kandji is an excellent, top rated choice. The main caution is that it is Apple only and newer than Jamf, so Windows or mixed fleets may prefer Intune or Workspace ONE, and those wanting the longest established standard Jamf, but for modern Apple device management Kandji leads.
