Microsoft Intune
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
We use Microsoft Intune to manage most of the laptops, and a portion of the mobile phones. Through Microsoft Intune we have control and a good overview of how compliant the devices are based on the policy that has been applied. The distribution of software also runs through Microsoft Intune, and receives regular updates.
Pros
- Automated Device Provisioning
- Compliance & Conditional Access Enforcement
- Application Deployment & Management
Cons
- Sometimes it takes a little longer for updates to be implemented properly.
- Installation times vary. Sometimes it's very quick, and sometimes it takes longer.
- Sometimes it is confusing which Microsoft licenses are required for certain functionalities
Return on Investment
- Installation procedure is automatic which saves you a lot of time
- You can quickly see how compliant all devices are, and take targeted action where necessary. This saves time
- Many actions can be solved remotely, so users do not have to physically come to the office for a solution.
