Kandji manages Macs, iPads, and iPhones through Apple's device management protocols, with blueprints that apply settings, apps, and security baselines to groups of machines automatically. Compliance checks flag a Mac with FileVault disabled or a missing OS update, and remediation can run without anyone filing a ticket, while custom scripts can be pushed to a device group on demand. It targets companies that standardized on Apple hardware and want management without Jamf's administration overhead.
Who it is for
IT admins at Apple-only companies who need compliance evidence without a dedicated MDM team.
Key features

Where it falls short
It manages only Apple devices, so any Windows fleet needs a second tool, and pricing is per device with an annual commitment and a seat minimum.
Pricing
Annual per-device subscription with volume tiers and a minimum device count; no free tier, and pricing is quoted.
Prices move; the tier structure is the part that stays true. Check current pricing on Kandji.
