An easy-to-manage and deploy solution, but it should provide open customization

You don't need a certification or great knowledge to manage and deploy the solution because it's not complex. It's a very easy plug-and-play solution where you can just enroll the devices and choose the features you want. Kandji doesn't require much customization because it has built-in features that we have to create manually otherwise.

Improves productivity and allows team collaboration in organizations

Previously, my company did not use a unified communication tool. For unified communication, my company started to use Microsoft 365 Business. My company used to use technology like Slack for team collaboration. My company used to use local products to manage emails. My company had a totally different license for Office 365. Microsoft 365 Business was chosen by our company as a solution to combine everything. My company does not use a similar technology, like Microsoft 365 Business. In general, my company improved by moving away from disintegrated technologies, and now we are able to integrate different technologies using Microsoft 365 Business.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"It's a very easy plug-and-play solution where you can just enroll the devices and choose the features you want."

"I consider the installation to have been very easy."

"The adaptability is very easy."

"Feature-wise, everything is okay. We are getting the latest version of the application. You also don't need to manage anything. Everything is running at the backend. The best part is that even if there is a failure in the on-prem active directory, users can still access mails. You can configure MFA easily and protect the mailboxes. Integrity and confidentiality are there. In this aspect, I am very happy with Microsoft."

"What I like is that Office 365 is nicely integrated with our email application Outlook. We also don't have to worry about updates. They are free, and they just happen automatically."

"The product's initial setup phase was straightforward."

"Offers very good versatility."

"I never have had any problems with any kind of situation where I couldn't get my documents. It is very, very reliable and very consistent."

"We can access it from anywhere. We can access it from home, the office, or any other place. It is a simple and the right product for the current COVID situation."

Cons

"Kandji should give open customization."

"Lacks ability to deploy on more than two devices per license."

"We would like to see the solution use more artificial intelligence bots in future releases."

"I am pretty happy with its features. However, it could be cheaper for long-term business use."

"Outlook should tie into a backend database and everything should be done in the Outlook screen."

"The only problem with 365 nowadays is that it expires."

"If they offered more integration capabilities, that would be ideal."

"The price could be better. The user interface could be more user-friendly. Microsoft 365 Business could be more secure."

"Microsoft needs to enhance its part in service management. I believe they have a product called Orchestrator, it does not get the same benefits and functionality as the rest of the solutions such as Dynamics or Office 365. They can improve by providing more integration with other solutions to cover the full business spectrum of needs, this would be a great benefit."
