It integrates with Microsoft Entra ID, Okta, Google Workspace, Active Directory, LDAP, Intune, Jamf, and Workspace ONE, and works with a range of access point vendors.

IronWiFi is built for schools, government, enterprises, and other organizations managing Wi-Fi networks across multiple sites. It is offered as a cloud service with a 14-day free trial that includes all features, and email support is included with every plan.
