Director

Very flexible blueprints for our Mac network - allows me to customise a range of use cases from a large pre-built library, plus add my own custom items.

Senior DevOps Operations and Security

As a SOC 2, certified company, it helps us manage device profiles, EDR, and required apps across the organization, making the audit process much easier.

Infrastructure Lead

We have found that most mobileconfig files need to be manually created and uploaded to Kandji as a Custom Profile. Since my Windows sysadmins are used to the point-and-click abilities in Intune, it would be great if Kandji would build out support for point-and-click configurations of the apps it published as Auto Apps.

Senior IT Technician

Iru allows us to manage our MacOS and IOS devices with ease, it has all the features we need offers great value compared to its competitors.

Sr. Software and Security Engineer

Some warning messages are not describing the actual issue: e.g. if a user tries to install an app themselves on a MacBook, using a .DMG file (which is basically forbidden in our case), there's no error, but a warning regarding the non-encryption of the mounted disk.

Global Head of IT Operations

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.

However Kandji has truly offered hands-on problem solving even in cases where we're asking them to help us solve 3rd party issues like help with custom scripting or installing unsupported 3rd party software.

Senior IT Ops

some insights on app usage of devices, runtime etc. exemptions of library items for single devices, a bit more flexibility on updates push timeframe.

IT Support Engineer

One situation I encountered when started using the platform was when I tried to remotely wipe a company laptop, which was turned on, and simply returned a message something like "The device was already erased" and nothing happened to the laptop.

Technology Director

Kandji has revolutionised this process for us and allowed us to confidently configure end to end device mangagment, onboarding flows securely and confidently.

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.

Senior Manager, Infrastructure Security

A plus to it is also its ability to identify devices that are misconfigured, out of date in terms of updates and correct them whether automatically or through interaction from us. How could I forget this?

Chief of Staff

Iru provides comprehensive endpoint protection with broad coverage across devices, helping reduce risk and centralize security management.

Features like Passport, Liftoff Blueprints all with clean and modern interface means our etams and users love using Kandji.

Managing certain aspects on Iru from a mobile device is difficult at times due to web page formatting - but it is usable for the key device management features.

Director of ICT Architectures and Operations

It simplifies the deployment and ongoing management of our macOS and iOS devices, offering a clean interface and clear policies.

Lead Platform Engineer

More recently, we signed up for EDR and Vuln which have simplified the number of vendors we have and requires significantly less time, maintenance, and money to manage these systems.

Director of IT

One small thing that has bugged me for years haha, is that Xcode isn't in the auto apps list, which would make life easier for our devs since we have to manually handle that deployment.

Senior Business Systems Administrator

The only drawback with Kandji is that some advanced features can feel a little rigid compared to fully custom solutions. While the automation is great, there are times I wish I had more flexibility to fine-tune certain settings or workflows.

There are a couple of small things that could be improved, like having more auto apps and being able to see the entire blueprint on one screen, but nothing that really gets in the way of day-to-day use.

Senior Manager, HR

Ease in which I can setup laptops for new users, the ability to look up a firevault key easily when locked out of a user profile, and the ability to view the status of each machine.

Senior Software Engineer

It allows control over enforcing updates meaning that staff can be given a specified window during which they can apply updates at their leisure, but with a deadline where installation is enforced.

IT Operations Manager

Kandji is a powerful, Apple-focused device management platform that simplifies IT operations with zero-touch deployment, automated compliance, and a user-friendly interface.

System Administrator

The inability to assign smart groups to library items, the lack of blueprint routing, and the absence of options to clear specific tags or reset a device to a default blueprint when deleted are known limitations.

IT-Systemadministrator

The interface is clean and intuitive, the automation via Blueprints saves us hours of manual configuration, and the zero-touch deployment works flawlessly with Apple Business Manager.

The platform automates our security policy enforcement and device auditing processes, which significantly streamlines our annual SOC2 audits.

IT Manager

Customer support is night-and-day easier, the product is more than capable for our enterprise compliance needs, and you don't feel like the product is getting worse+costing more due to private equity ownership.

IT Lead

Kandji is a seamless, intuitive solution for managing Apple devices, it truly lives up to its reputation as the "easy button" for Mac MDM.

Sr. Systems Engineer

We also use a third party compliance provider that supports Kandji for device attestation and endpoint security controls.

Adding new devices is effortless, and the blueprints feature makes onboarding completely seamless and consistent across teams.

It’s a reliable, well-supported platform that simplifies complex workflows and lets IT teams focus on what matters.

Security and Privacy Analyst

Kandji is a Mac sysadmin's MDM tool; it's integrated directly with macOS in a way other MDM tools are not, and it's exclusively Apple-focused, meaning you're not dealing with a system that has to account for various versions of Windows and dozens of Linux distros.

The features of Auto Apps, Passport logins, and Liftoff create an experience for our users that is seamless and intuitive, especially in a school environment.

Head of IT

Occasionally, advanced configurations (like custom PPPC or FDA profiles) require some trial and error, but the documentation and support team quickly bridge the gap.

Global IT Coordinator

Kandji is a great MDM for managing apple devices and takes the workload from IT technicians, who can focus support the end users instead!

Security and Compliance Lead

The main concern we had with Kandji was the minimum device limit when purchasing a license, as it was double the amount of users in our company, but with how quickly we've been growing, we're closely coming up to that limit! And for time saved, it's worth making the investment.

A great solution that saves me a heap of time and having to remember maintenance updates and software roll outs with our 40-50 machines.

Sr. IT Manager

We don't like that we have to buy a second tool to fill this gap. If you are an experienced Mac Admin and have been using tools like Jamf for a long time, you might find it frustrating to use because it just does a lot of things automatically. If you like granular configurations, Iru's simplified approach takes some getting used to and comfortability with having less control.

Head of operations

The device management and update enforcement helps significantly us as we are pci dss certified startup and Kandji has been a great help!

Finance Manager

For someone who was getting acclimated to remote device management, the Iru platform and customer support, namely [sensitive content hidden] , made it extremely simple to learn and understand the platform.

IT Director

It helps us manage and keep all of our 100+ devices (across 14 different locations) up to date.

Initially we purchased the solution to manage and patch MacOS devices, but after the great experience and support, we expanded this to IOS devices too.

Systems Administrator

Clean interface where non-tech teams (like auditors) can look at without jumping through multiple hoops (eg. dashboard for vulnerability scans)

ITOps Engineer

Right now, users can postpone an update by one hour, which is helpful – but in some cases, having the ability to delay for 2 or even 3 hours would be much more practical.

Operations Director

Customer support has been responsive and knowledgeable, and the device management side has helped us streamline workflows and reduce manual tasks.

Systems and Network Director

The ability to push updates, manage compliance, and troubleshoot remotely—all from a clean, intuitive dashboard—saves tons of time and headaches.

Chief Technology Officer

This smart move promises to unlock deeper insights and streamline device management, all while saving users valuable time. If Kandji keeps up this pace, it’s poised to become an even stronger contender in the Apple device management space.

The change from blueprint to assignment map is also not great, since there are some small things you can do with blueprints that are not available on maps.

VP, Infrastructure and Security

Product is high quality, effective, and a great product team that listens and caters to customers' feedback which is what makes Iru an absolute stable in my IT stack.

Additionally, the platform's Mac-only focus, while perfect for our current setup, limits its usefulness for organizations that need to manage both MacOS and Windows devices in a single MDM solution.
