Built for the AI era, Iru unifies identity \& access, endpoint security \& management, and compliance automation—collapsing the stack and giving IT \& Security teams time and control back. The Problem IT \& Security teams today juggle dozens of point solutions with separate consoles and data silos. There's no shared context or single view, so work slows and risk grows. Nearly half of teams cite overlapping tools as their top challenge. The stack is the problem. Iru collapses the stack by bringing together the capabilities every business relies on. When they live in one place, they inform each other, and everything works better. At the core is the Iru Context Model—a living map of your environment. On top of it sits Iru AI, which transforms complex data into clear, strategic insights and enables all products to inform and improve each other. The Platform Iru gives you a single view of your users, apps, and devices through six integrated products: - Workforce Identity delivers passwordless single sign-on with device-bound passkeys, context-aware access to every app, and automated user lifecycle management. - Endpoint Management provides advanced automation to onboard users, update apps, and enforce policies across Apple, Windows, and Android—all with a single lightweight endpoint agent. - Endpoint Detection \& Response stops advanced and emerging threats with machine learning-enhanced detections, autonomous containment, and remediation in real time across Mac and Windows. - Vulnerability Management gives full visibility into software risk on Mac and Windows with autonomous response to patch vulnerable software, prioritized by Iru AI. - Compliance Automation is AI-native—transforming frameworks into tailored controls, breaking them into tasks, and mapping evidence automatically to keep you audit-ready." - Trust Center provides a public portal to share certifications, reports, and security posture to accelerate deals, with security questionnaires answered by Iru AI. Built for the AI Era Iru AI is designed from the ground up to connect agents across identity, endpoints, and compliance. Powered by the Iru Context Model, it understands your users, devices, and apps to act safely, intelligently, and in context across your organization. This gives IT \& Security teams time and control back. > > Verdict: Rated **4.9/5** by 496 users.

My experience using Iru has been great. > > **Cons**: On others MDM's like Jumpcloud, it's easier to push a script to a single machine. Having something like that on Iru would be good. ----- ### "One of the Most Intuitive MDM Solutions—Up and Running in Days" — 5.0/5 > **Chaz** | *10 March 2026* | Hospitality | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: This is one of the most intuitive MDM solutions I’ve ever used. Unlike other MDM solutions, it required very little training, and we were up and running in a matter of days. > > **Cons**: It would be much better if the Threats and Vulnerability modules were included in the main package, rather than offered only as additional add-on modules. > > We recently rolled out IRU, as our Mobile Device Management solution for Apple devices. During our evaluation process, we reviewed several platforms including Microsoft Intune, IRU, and Jamf. After careful consideration, IRU stood out as the solution that delivered the full range of functionality we required, while remaining within an affordable price range. From both a senior and junior engineer perspective, the platform is intuitive and straightforward to configure and manage. The setup experience was smooth, and the interface makes day to day administration simple without sacrificing depth or control. One of the key strengths for us was the ability to assign permissions based on our RBAC roles, allowing appropriate access across the team while maintaining governance and security. From an administrator standpoint, the visibility and control are excellent. From an end user perspective, the experience is seamless and minimally disruptive. We were able to complete the full onboarding process for all devices and users within a month, covering configuration, testing, and full rollout. Overall, IRU has proven to be a reliable, scalable, and cost effective MDM solution. I would highly recommend this platform to any company looking to manage their Apple device fleet efficiently and confidently. ----- ### "Best option for modern Apple fleet management" — 5.0/5 > **Ryan** | *17 June 2025* | Financial Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: We started using Kandji's MDM service to help with managing our fleet of Apple products . We chose this solution because when comparing it with incumbents they had the least barrier to entry and the most functionality for the price . Since implementing it, we’ve seen improvements in compliance with our policies through enforcement and fewer tickets to the IT team regarding installing corporate software, and I especially loves how easy it is to deploy new apps and policies across the fleet. The support team is so quick to answer and willing to really hop in and help build out solutions > > **Cons**: One of the challenges we've faced with Kandji is that since they are newer than incumbents like JAMF some third party providers dont have explicit instructions for setting up their products with Kandji and you have to work a bit harder to implement. > > Couldnt be happier with our decision to move to Kandji, they have been a huge value add to my tech stack and made Apple management much easier ----- ### "Reliable, Intuitive, and Powerful Endpoint Management" — 5.0/5 > **Adnan** | *8 July 2026* | Insurance | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: The ease of deployment, setting up and "Auto Apps" features are fantastic. It makes onboarding new employees incredibly fast, and the visual Assignment Maps are very intuitive. It takes a lot of the heavy lifting out of compliance and patching, especially for our Apple fleet. Providing top tier customer support where and when needed. > > **Cons**: While it's great that they recently expanded to a cross-platform model, their Windows and Android management features are still maturing compared to their deep, historical Apple-native roots. Always a learning curve through this. Additionally the remediation on vulnerabilities aren't as easy to action where you would require to manually remediate through the user and not through the platform. > > My overall experience has been highly positive. Iru significantly reduced our manual IT workload, value for money in my opinion, its given us a much better visibility into our security posture. It is a robust, AI-powered platform that saves our team hours of administrative work each week. ----- ### "all in all, it´s very good" — 4.0/5 > **Jamie** | *16 March 2026* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: What I like most about Iru is the intuitive user interface, which makes daily work straightforward and efficient. On top of that, the support team is impressively responsive and knowledgeable — issues get resolved quickly, which is a huge plus. > > **Cons**: The activity log remains a significant weak point. It is very difficult to search through — there is no simple way to filter by keyword or by user. For example, if an admin performs an action in the console, you often cannot find any trace of it in the activity view. This makes auditing and troubleshooting unnecessarily cumbersome. > > My overall experience with Iru has been very positive. I use it frequently and enjoy working with it. The interface is clear and easy to understand, which keeps the learning curve low. Value for money is solid given the quality of the product and the responsive customer support. The ease of use is one of its strongest points, and device and client management features work reliably. The main area for improvement remains the activity/audit log and its filtering capabilities. ----- Page: 1 / 21\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/71745/Iru?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/71745/Iru) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | fr | | ----- ## Structured Data
