Intune is SCCM’s cloud-based mobile device and application management service. Unlike SCCM it is cloud native and is used to deliver software updates to mobile devices. It is part of Microsoft's Enterprise Mobility + Security (EMS) suite.
INTUNE PROS
* Cloud native
* Strong in Mobile Device Management (MDM)
* Good at light-weight, smaller applications on mobile devices or mobile OS.
* Auto provisioning of systems – with Microsoft Intune and Autopilot, you can give new devices to your end users without the need to build, maintain, and apply custom operating system images to the devices.
* When you use Intune to manage Autopilot devices, you can manage policies, profiles, apps after end users are enrolled
INTUNE CONS
* Narrow focus on mobile devices; not a full systems-management platform
* Doesn’t support server-side applications
* Not intended for large applications
* Doesn’t have the feature-set to handle complex package deployments
* Incurs egress or monthly usage fees based on the volume of data transmitted – software deployment is often a reactive activity based on the software provider updates; usage fees add up and get more expensive over time.
* Challenges in planning – difficult to predict the number or size of software updates that will occur over time, especially in an environment where most applications are going cloud native with a higher frequency of updates.
