Case Study: Cloudera manages 2,700+ Macs without a dedicated admin with Iru

Cloudera manages 2,700+ Macs and cuts onboarding to 5 minutes with Iru

The customer, Cloudera, an enterprise data platform, faced challenges managing over 2,700 Mac computers with a lean IT team and no dedicated Mac administrator. Their previous MDM solution had failed patch management, requiring manual updates for critical apps and causing silent failures. They implemented Iru for automated endpoint management to address these issues.

By using Iru, Cloudera automated the patching of 49 applications and macOS updates, enforced security baselines with Blueprints, and streamlined device onboarding to just five minutes. This automation eliminated manual patch chasing and white-glove setup, allowing their small team to manage the entire Mac fleet efficiently without needing a full-time admin.
