First Plug vs. Deel IT

First Plug helps companies with remote and distributed teams purchase, deploy, and manage hardware across multiple countries, covering the entire employee lifecycle—from onboarding new hires to offboarding and device recovery. As remote work continues to scale globally, many technology companies struggle with hardware logistics, asset visibility, and operational control across regions. First Plug was built to solve that exact problem.

Deel IT is a global IT management platform that helps organizations provision, secure, support, and recover employee devices and software across distributed teams. It enables IT teams to manage the full device and access lifecycle for remote and international employees, with onboarding and offboarding actions triggered automatically through connected HR systems. Devices arrive ready to use with predefined security, applications, and access controls, and are recovered and secured when employees leave.
