Deel IT vs. Lendis: Which IT Solution is Right for Your Team?

For companies managing hybrid and remote teams, equipping employees often means coordinating hardware, furniture, and logistics across multiple vendors and regions. But getting devices and equipment in place is only part of the picture. Application access, security, device management, and offboarding still need to be handled, often across different systems, depending on how a company structures its IT stack.

With different platforms taking different approaches, choosing the right solution isn’t always straightforward. In this guide, we compare two of the leading options, Deel IT and Lendis, to help you understand which approach best fits your team’s needs.

What is Deel IT?

Deel IT is a global IT platform that automates the full IT lifecycle, covering devices, access, security, and support across 130+ countries. It connects directly with your HR system, so employee changes automatically trigger the right IT actions without manual coordination.

Key features include:

• Global device delivery: Laptops ship directly to employees worldwide, with customs, taxes, and logistics handled centrally, backed by a 99.5% on-time delivery rate
• Zero-touch device setup: Devices are fully configured before delivery using zero-touch deployment, so employees can start working immediately
• Application access and license management: Employees have the tools they need from onboarding, with access updated or removed automatically as roles change or employees leave

Device pre-configuration and MDM

Whether a device is ready to use from the moment it arrives depends on how configuration and management are handled — within the platform itself or through separate tools.

Deel IT

Deel IT includes device configuration and management in one system, so devices arrive ready to use and stay aligned with company policies over time.

• Built-in MDM with no additional tool required: Devices are enrolled automatically, with policies applied from first boot, and remote actions like lock or wipe available at any time
• Zero-touch deployment globally, ensuring devices are configured with the right settings, applications, and security controls before they reach the employee
• Policies update automatically with HR changes, so access, configurations, and restrictions stay aligned as roles change
• Ongoing device management handled in the same platform, removing the need to switch between systems for enforcement or updates

Lendis

Application access and license management

Giving employees the right tools on day one (and removing access at the right moment) depends on how application access is managed. Without automation, these steps often rely on manual updates, which can lead to delays or security gaps.

Deel IT

Deel IT manages application access as part of the employee lifecycle, with permissions and licenses aligned automatically to HR data.

• Direct integrations with identity providers such as Google, Microsoft, Okta, and JumpCloud, so access is provisioned automatically based on role and employee data
• Centralized license management, with visibility into usage, ownership, and spend, and the ability to reassign licenses as teams change
• Access updates and removal handled automatically, ensuring permissions stay current as employees join, move roles, or leave
• No manual access workflows required, reducing the risk of delays or missed deprovisioning

Lendis

Lendis does not manage application access or licenses.

• No native application provisioning or license management
• SSO is only used to log into LendisOS, not to manage employee access to other tools
• Access and permissions handled in separate tools

Deel IT

Deel IT includes 24/7 global IT support as part of the platform, so employees can get help immediately without relying on internal teams or multiple vendors.

• 24/7 support across all time zones, ensuring employees can get help whenever issues arise, without waiting for local business hours

• 24/7 ticket submission via LendisOS

Here are 7 signs your business needs after-hours IT support.

Onboarding and offboarding automation

Manual onboarding and offboarding create risk at both ends — delayed access when employees join, and gaps in access or device recovery when they leave. These risks increase when hardware and software workflows are handled in separate systems.

Deel IT

Deel IT automates onboarding and offboarding as a single, coordinated workflow, linking HR changes directly to IT actions across devices, access, and security.

• HRIS-triggered workflows automatically provision devices, grant application access, and apply security policies when a hire is added
• End-to-end offboarding automation, with access revoked, devices secured, and collection initiated without manual follow-up
• Coordinated actions across hardware and software, ensuring nothing is missed during role changes or departures
• Global execution, so onboarding and offboarding processes run consistently across regions

Lendis

Lendis automates hardware workflows tied to onboarding and offboarding.

• HRIS-triggered device ordering and retrieval
• Device collection coordinated at offboarding
• Data wipe and storage handled after return
• Access and permissions managed in separate tools

Deel IT

Deel IT connects across HR, identity, and IT systems, enabling automation across the employee lifecycle without relying on multiple disconnected tools.

• Direct HRIS integrations with platforms like Workday, BambooHR, and HiBob, so employee changes automatically trigger IT actions
