Tool sprawl is dangerous, warns Apple MDM vendor Kandji
"When it comes to optimizing their present technology stack, better integration between tools (61%) and better automation (49%) are the highest priorities for IT teams, even higher than lowering total costs (40%). 41% cite security risks from poor or missing integrations; 40% say compliance/audits take too much time. For security teams, their priorities are better integrations between tools (56%) and managing security risks due to poor or missing integrations (52%)."
"Integration problems between different tools from different providers are all too familiar: Too many of the tools in use across businesses host overlapping functions, or their poor integration poses security risks. Sure, you can - and should - give everyone a Mac for work, but you'll cancel those benefits out if you confuse the experience with too many tools to manage and use. (This may also be why Apple Intelligence's on-device, platform-based utility may make that service even more useful in future.)"
Survey of 1,000 IT and security professionals shows 40% of IT admins/managers spend over half their weekly time on maintenance and only 26% spend a majority on strategic work. Priorities for optimizing current technology stacks are better integration between tools (61%) and better automation (49%), outpacing cost reduction (40%). Integration gaps create security risks for 41% and make compliance/audits time-consuming for 40%. Security teams prioritize integrations (56%) and managing integration-related security risks (52%). Overlapping tool functions and poor integrations increase complexity and operational overhead, limiting IT capacity for strategic initiatives.
