Simplify's Take

What believers are saying

  • Cross-platform MDM expands replacement deals across Mac, Windows, and Android.
  • Passwordless hardware-backed passkeys strengthen access control and endpoint differentiation.
  • Migration support lowers switching friction from legacy MDM incumbents.

What critics are saying

  • Jamf’s Apple specialization weakens Iru’s original Apple-first differentiation.
  • Microsoft Intune bundling compresses pricing and reduces standalone MDM demand.
  • Broader platform scope increases complexity, slowing deployment and muddying sales messaging.

What makes Iru unique

  • Iru unifies identity, endpoint, and compliance into one AI-powered platform.
  • It evolved from Kandji’s Apple-first MDM expertise into cross-platform management.
  • Its support team consists of actual IT admins, available 24/5.
