A 6-step plan for moving from Kandji to HaloFortress without an all-or-nothing cutover. Co-existence agents run both stacks side-by-side. Most fleets complete migration in 3-8 weeks.
Install the HaloFortress agent alongside your Kandji agent. Run in observe-only mode for 7-14 days while you translate policies. Cut over conditional access for a pilot ring, then expand by posture rings until Kandji can be retired. The first policy is live within 11 minutes of tenant provisioning.
Pull your Blueprints, Parameters, Library Items, and assignment rules. HaloFortress ingests the export and produces a translation map.
Both agents co-exist on macOS without conflict. HaloFortress observes for the first week.
Most Kandji parameters map directly to HaloFortress posture controls. Auto Apps map to the patch catalog with explicit version pinning.
Move whatever you stacked on top of Kandji (Okta+Twingate, Cloudflare One, custom EPM scripts) into HaloFortress Trust and HaloFortress EPM.
Move ABM/DEP token to HaloFortress for new devices. Migrate existing devices in rings.
Most teams drop Kandji at end-of-month after 4-6 weeks of stable HaloFortress operation.
Yes, primarily for teams that have outgrown Apple-only management or want to consolidate Kandji + Okta + a ZTNA vendor + a DLP vendor into one platform. Mac-only shops happy with Kandji should stay; cross-platform teams or single-pane-of-glass buyers should look hard at HaloFortress.
Yes. HaloFortress posture controls auto-remediate when drift is detected, with the same kind of declarative library Kandji ships. We also support custom remediation scripts and rollback windows.
Most Kandji shops migrate in 3-5 weeks of calendar time, faster than Jamf because Kandji's surface area is smaller and the parameter model translates cleanly.
We will pair you with a migration engineer who has done this for fleets your size. No cost during evaluation.
