"Real-time detection and cloud-based delivery of detections are highly efficient."
"The stability keeps getting better and better."
"It performs well. The stability is seamless."

"We'd like to see more one-to-one product presentations for the distribution channels."

"We've had a lot of false positives; things incorrectly flagged that require manual configuration to allow. Even worse, after we allow a legitimate program, it sometimes gets flagged again after an update. This has caused a lot of extra work for my team."

"Kandji should give open customization."

"The solution needs to improve its ransomware. It's not so good. It could also use some general performance optimization for the computers the solution operates on, to ensure it does not slow down the devices."
"It makes your Surface devices hot. It is resource-intensive. It strains your CPU, not more than other file scanners around, but it also does a lot more. When you are transmitting files or data, it is continuously scanning the traffic and analyzing it bit by bit to see what's going on, and that, of course, is costly in terms of CPU. It is CPU intensive, and if you are on battery, it drains your battery fast. That's the only drawback that it has."
"I would just like them to have more consistency, and that's a comment that's across the board with Microsoft. They change things a lot."
