## Reviews

### "Effortless MDM with Seamless Out-of-Box Provisioning" — 5.0/5

> **Ryan** | *04 December 2025* | Marketing & Advertising | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The ease of use and intuitive interface of Iru are exceptional. 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 \&amp; 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.&#10;Onboarding was really quick and easily with excellent hands on support.&#10;Support response and resolution times are really good too.&#10;The whole product is intuitive and easy to use.
> 
> **Cons**: Alerts and clearing alerts is a pain.&#10;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.&#10;The Onboarding was exceptional with knowledgeable staff able to assist us with our initial blueprints and configurations.&#10;When things have not worked or we have required support the support team and really responsive and resolve issues fast.&#10;&#10;Overall this is a product i would not be without.

### "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.&#10;&#10;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.&#10;&#10;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.&#10;&#10;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.

### "Great macOS MDM solution for businesses." — 5.0/5

> **David** | *26 March 2026* | Marketing & Advertising | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The overall UI interface is simple and modern. Enrolling macOS devices either manually or through ABM/ADE/DEP is very straightforward and works as expected. Device management when enrolled is great. You get device details, ability to send MDM actions, and deploy apps automatically or through its self service app is very useful.
> 
> **Cons**: You can't manually clear/mute device alerts. You have to somehow physically remediate or resolve the issue before the alert is cleared. They also charge you in batches of 25 devices/licenses only.
> 
> I was looking for a good MDM solution to manage all my macOS devices and Iru does a fantastic job. It allows me to manage the devices, deploy and enforce applications, apply group policies, wipe, DEP, and bypass any personal end user activation locks. Setup and deployment is very easy and pretty easy to learn to administor. UI is clean, modern, and easy to navigate.

### "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.
