Iru (formerly Kandji) review

Kandji now operates as Iru, and the old kandji.io pricing page redirects to iru.com. The endpoint management product keeps the features that made Kandji popular with Apple admins: Assignment Maps for configuring devices visually and a catalog of more than 550 Auto Apps that Iru patches with no admin work. It now also lists Windows and Android management, with one lightweight agent for Mac and Windows. Around it, Iru sells endpoint detection and response, vulnerability management, passwordless workforce identity, compliance automation and a public trust center, and every product includes round-the-clock support and API access. The weak spot for buyers is pricing. Iru publishes no prices and builds a quote from your counts of computers, mobile devices and single sign-on users, so we could not verify a starting price and scored value conservatively. If you shortlist Iru, ask for a quote early and compare it with Jamf for Mac, which bundles a similar mix of management and security.

Who it is for

Fast-growing, Apple-first companies that want automated patching and are fine with quote-based pricing.
