How Iru compares to CrowdStrike

Iru
CrowdStrike

Endpoint detection and response

Iru EDR detects and quarantines malware and malicious behavior, isolates compromised devices, and opens a secure remote shell to investigate and remediate.

Manage and secure in one platform

Iru manages and secures every Mac device from one platform and one agent, with no separate tool to run for device management.

Automatic vulnerability remediation

Iru matches CVEs to your software hourly and patches vulnerable apps automatically with Vulnerability Response, so the app patches automatically from the same tool.

Designed for IT teams of any technical profile

Iru works out of the box for any IT team, with advanced response tools like Remote Shell and Device Isolation available the moment you want them.

Dedicated support

Iru's support team is reachable by phone, chat, and email, staffed by the same people who build the product.

“We had difficulty with CrowdStrike; they were somewhat overloaded. They were difficult to learn, difficult to navigate, and it was hard for a 'one-guy team' to manage them.”
Topher Ohlin
IT Operations Manager, Planning Center

Why switch to Iru?

Flexible response to different threats

Isolate a compromised Mac or Windows device, open a Remote Shell with command-line access to pull forensic files, and shut the incident down from inside the detection. Remote Shell keeps working after network isolation, so you contain the spread and still investigate the device.

"Iru allowed us to keep the same IT headcount. With another EDR tool, we may have had to hire a new person to manage the endpoint protection efforts."

Iru replaces fragmented tools with one AI-powered platform, so IT & security spend less time chasing tickets and more time improving the business.
