How Iru compares to Fleet

Iru
Fleet

Manage with Configuration as Code

Command-line utility helps IT teams manage, pull, and push configurations to Blueprints and Custom Library Items.

Designed for IT teams of any technical profile

Works out of the box for IT team member. GitOps workflows are available when you want them.

Automated deployment and remediation

Library Items contain logic for deployment, updates, error surfacing, and remediation. IT sets the desired state and Iru enforces it autonomously.

A single agent to manage, protect, and remediate

The Iru Agent delivers Endpoint Management, Endpoint Detection & Response, and Vulnerability Management in a single deployment on Mac and Windows.

Compliance automation

Iru automates evidence collection for SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, and more. Teams stay continuously compliant rather than a scramble before the review window opens.

Fast support from IT engineers

Resolve problems faster with experienced support engineers with IT backgrounds. Available in chat 24-hours a day, 5 days a week.

“We were spending almost a full-time engineer's worth of effort just on device management.”
Marc Littlefair
Head of IT, GoCardless

Why switch to Iru?

Automation that reduces operational overhead

Fleet makes you build install logic for every custom package, re-upload when versions change, and chase down failed installs by hand. Iru's Library Items handle updates, surface errors, and remediate automatically — set the desired state once, and every device stays current on its own.

Config as code without creating bottlnecks

Fleet requires DevOps involvement for most configuration work. Iru gives engineers version-controlled git workflows, while the elegant admin experience works for everyone else.
