The platform allowed us to achieve full device management for our Mac and iOS fleet incredibly fast, making the Ease of Implementation a major upside. We especially appreciate the one-click actions, pre-built Blueprints, and how straightforward it is to deploy apps and enforce compliance. Their Customer Support has also been responsive and extremely knowledgeable whenever we've needed assistance. > > **Cons**: While there's very little to dislike, we are looking forward to the continued expansion of features, particularly for advanced Endpoint Detection \& Response (EDR) capabilities and deeper integration with other core security platforms we use. This is a minor point, as the platform is already excellent for our core MDM needs. > > Iru is solving our biggest challenge of maintaining a consistent security and compliance baseline across our rapidly growing fleet of Apple devices. It allows us to remotely enforce encryption, install critical security updates, and deploy required applications automatically. Crucially, Iru has made our device provisioning entirely hands-off. We can now simply ship a brand-new device directly to a user, and it automatically enrolls, configures, and secures itself right out of the box (OOBe) using Kandji's integration with Apple Business Manager. The immediate benefit is a massive reduction in manual IT workload, significant time savings for the IT team, and a reliable way to ensure zero-trust alignment for all endpoints, regardless of the user's location. ----- ### "Excellent Product for MacOS Device Management \*\*\*\*\*" — 5.0/5 > **Richard** | *12 February 2026* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Simplified the Process of Management of MacOS devices for a team that was more windows based. Onboarding was really quick and easily with excellent hands on support. Support response and resolution times are really good too. The whole product is intuitive and easy to use. > > **Cons**: Alerts and clearing alerts is a pain. We see some alerting for some devices where through for example apps are already deployed before onboarding and the software can not be installed. It would be really nice if these could be cleared easily or "ignored" in the UI. > > I would recommend this product to any company using MacOS. We moved from using Intune from MacOS devices to Kandji with a focus on security and have not looked back. The Onboarding was exceptional with knowledgeable staff able to assist us with our initial blueprints and configurations. When things have not worked or we have required support the support team and really responsive and resolve issues fast. Overall this is a product i would not be without. ----- ### "A device management platform that simply does what it promises" — 5.0/5 > **Mark** | *24 August 2026* | Architecture & Planning | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Iru does what it says it’s going to do, without a lot of fuss or fanfare. That’s probably the biggest compliment I can give it. I’ve used plenty of products that promise a huge amount, only to find that delivering those capabilities in a real-world environment is complicated or that some of the promise is more marketing than reality. With Iru, the functionality is practical, reliable and actually achievable in day-to-day use. > > **Cons**: There’s genuinely very little I dislike about Iru, but if I had to choose something it would be aspects of the Assignment Maps functionality. It’s already a useful feature, but I think there’s room to make complex deployments easier to understand at a glance. For example, being able to explicitly name or label the individual stages of a deployment would make larger Assignment Maps much easier to read, manage and troubleshoot. > > From day one, our experience with Iru has been excellent. We migrated from our previous MDM before Apple’s migration tooling made that process as straightforward as it is today, so the prospect of moving an entire fleet was fairly daunting. Iru’s support team guided us through the process and made the migration about as painless as it could possibly have been. That experience set the tone for the relationship we’ve had with them ever since: knowledgeable, responsive support backed up by a product that reliably does what we need it to do. ----- ### "Mandatory Review" — 3.0/5 > **Ester** | *09 January 2026* | Computer & Network Security | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10 > > **Pros**: Iru provides comprehensive endpoint protection with broad coverage across devices, helping reduce risk and centralize security management. > > **Cons**: Contract management is consistently problematic, with frequent inaccuracies, delayed renewal notices, and incorrect quotes that require follow-up. > > Contract management continues to be messy, often incorrect, late renewal notices, incorrect quotes, etc. ----- ### "Amazing Device Management with Strong Automation" — 5.0/5 > **Jason** | *11 June 2026* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The standout feature is how easy Iru is to deploy and manage. Onboarding devices is very straightforward, and the automation (particularly blueprints and zero-touch deployment) saves a significant amount of manual effort. The interface is clean and intuitive, making day-to-day management efficient without needing deep training. Another big plus is how updates and ongoing management are handled. Much of the patching, policy enforcement, and configuration happens automatically in the background, which reduces the need for manual intervention and helps keep devices compliant without constant oversight. Device management is strong and it gives good visibility across the estate. Customer support has also been responsive when needed, which makes a big difference for operational confidence. > > **Cons**: While the core functionality is solid, some areas feel less mature than more established platforms. Reporting and filtering could be more flexible, and there are limitations when it comes to integrations, particularly in more complex or Microsoft-heavy environments. Naturally, it also feels slightly more tailored towards Apple-first setups, so mixed-device environments may not get the same level of depth or control compared to other enterprise tools. But I know they are workign hard to bring other device platforms into line with their Apple management offering. > > Overall, my experience with Iru has been amazing\! It’s a reliable and efficient platform that simplifies device management and reduces the day-to-day workload for IT teams. The ease of use and automation features make it particularly well-suited for small to mid-sized environments or organisations looking to streamline their tooling. That said, for more complex environments requiring deep integrations or highly customised reporting, there are still some limitations. Despite that, it delivers strong value and covers the core requirements perfectly. ----- Page: 1 / 21\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.co.za/software/181954/Iru?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.co.za/software/181954/Iru) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | ko | | ----- ## Structured Data
