Simplify's Take

What believers are saying

  • The recent $100 million funding round will accelerate innovation and growth, potentially leading to new features and improved services.
  • The introduction of tools like Prism and iOS Home Screen Management demonstrates Kandji's commitment to enhancing user experience and compliance.
  • Partnerships with companies like SecureW2 and Diamond Assets expand Kandji's ecosystem, offering more integrated solutions for clients.

What critics are saying

  • The company's focus on Apple devices may limit its market to businesses heavily invested in the Apple ecosystem, potentially missing out on clients using other platforms.
  • Rapid growth and scaling efforts, fueled by recent funding, could strain resources and impact service quality.

What makes Kandji unique

  • Kandji's focus on Apple devices sets it apart in the MDM market, which is often dominated by solutions catering to multiple operating systems.
  • Their MigrationAgent tool simplifies the transition from old MDM solutions, reducing user interaction to a few clicks, which is a significant advantage over competitors.
  • Kandji's 24/5 customer support staffed by Mac admin-experienced engineers provides a level of peer-to-peer guidance that is rare in the industry.
