Our take
Device and application management is essential for the maintenance of an IT stack, with particular emphasis on frequent updating and compliance. This can be a laborious and repetitive task, so management software exists to automate these processes. However, existing solutions are generally aimed towards IT departments running on Windows.
Iru, formerly Kandji, provides a mobile device management platform that facilitates the remote maintenance of Apple-based IT stacks. Users can manage IT devices, applications, networking and compliance within a zero-touch automation system. The need for this service in companies using Apple hardware is clear: it has been adopted by major enterprises such as Belkin, Crunchbase and Notion.
As the Apple device management market is also expanding at speed, Iru is well poised to continue its run of success. It has raised significant funding across several rounds, the latest of which came in 2024 and helped it launch its new AI-powered unified IT and security platform. This new product signifies a new approach to IT and security management and exemplifies Iru's ability to continuously innovate its market.
