Kryonaut is widely regarded as one of, if not THE best thermal pastes on the market.
When Arctic MX-5 came out last year it was originally priced way lower and matched the performance of Kryonaut, making it the better choice. But as time has gone on MX-5 has risen in price and nearly matches Kryonaut now, with this sale there's never been a better time to get the best performing thermal paste at a $/gram that is only matched when buying large amounts normally.
Arctic even advertises on their products that Kryonaut is superior, as they usually hold the edge in price.

If you need larger quantities than this 1g syringe, you should pick up a few, as the $/g isn't matched unless you purchase the 11g syringe. For 1 g you will have more than enough to cover 2 applications, don't expect much more than 2 though, as the third could be short.

Multiple independent tech sites and channels have confirmed that it's one of the best thermal compounds for lowering temperatures. That said, nearly all thermal compounds do at least an adequate job at cooling CPUs, with a good heatsink. But if those extra few degrees will mean the difference to your successful extreme overclocking, then Kryyonaut is one of the best ones to get.
By the way, you're going to need that spatula. This stuff is THICK! I wouldn't count on using the "pea method" and letting the pressure from the heatsink spread it out enough to be effective!
See the comments above. It generally retails for around $10-15 a tube (though Amazon currently has it on sale for $7, so either they're trying to get rid of a lot of it! or Thermal Grizzly gave them a sweet deal to promote it. Likely both!) But there's no way you're getting enough from this for 25 computers! That said, it's a great deal on one of the best thermal compounds on the market.
Not only is that Hydraunaut, which is a completely different product, but many experts and tech sites and channels that have tested them have said it's not as good as Kryonaut.
If you're looking to save a few bucks, and are using more than 2-3 applications, Noctua NT-H1 is almost as good, and is $9 on Amazon for 3.5g.

Had no "new" thermal paste so I ordered this from Amazon (Big Syringe) and temps on the i7-9700K (Last Fall $150 Micro Center Slickdeal) I just put together and temps are at 30 C. Have not done any testing as yet but so far looking good.

Word of advice: Thermal Grizzly products are counterfeited a lot. There should be a code inside the package to verify authenticity.

Don't go off benchmarks alone, while Kryonaut scores well in charts, it depends on your system components or how extreme you overclock. You will see good temps initially on the 12900K then wonder why your CPU idle temps are sitting at 80-90C after a few weeks.

"Kryonaut uses a special structure, which halts the drying out process at temperatures of up to 80° Celsius. This structure is also responsible for the nano-aluminum- and zinc-oxide-parts included in the grease to compound optimally, to compensate for unevenness of the component (i.e. the CPU) or the heat sink, thus guaranteeing remarkable heat transfer."
So anything after 80C can be inferred that it starts to dry out. Which I can confirm happened in my case with the initial pump out and then drying. It's not that I am dissing the product (I bought it), it's just that there are limitations on what it can be applied to. A 12900KS runs close to 100C stock speeds, throttling itself even on an AIO or Custom Loop, it will dry this paste out with no overclocking involved. Just save the hassle and go with Hydronaut (if you want to use Thermal Grizzly) for anything extremely hot.

This seems like a huge downside. Obviously you don't want your CPU to run much past 80C, but still.
