VERDICT

Should I use Iru (formerly Kandji)?

Manage devices and everything they touch. See how security, IT, and compliance get easier when unified around devices with Iru. - iru.com

Depends. Buy if you run a growing, Apple-heavy fleet with real compliance obligations and want MDM, identity, and audit automation in one platform. Skip it if you're a tiny team with basic device needs — quote-based pricing and platform breadth are overkill.

Confidence

Medium. Based on 14 public sources; no named customer logos found; pricing evidence is quote-based only.

Gotchas - check before you buy

medium

No public pricing — you learn cost only after a sales call; budgeting blind.

medium

Annual per-device subscription; fleet growth directly raises spend.

medium

Windows support added October 2025 — less battle-tested than Apple management.

low

Kandji-to-Iru rebrand may cause confusion in docs, billing, and integrations.
