About Microsoft Intune

Microsoft Intune is a cloud-based unified endpoint management service. IT staff use it to manage, secure and govern devices and the apps on them, including Windows, macOS, iOS and Android devices, following Microsoft's Zero Trust approach.

It is part of Microsoft's security product family alongside Entra and Defender, and is administered from a web console. It suits organisations already using Microsoft 365 that want device policies and app management in the same place.

Strengths

  • Manages desktops and phones from one cloud console
  • Works alongside other Microsoft security products
  • Covers both device and app management

Limitations

  • Cloud-only, tied to a Microsoft tenant
  • Aimed at organisations, not individuals
