Thanks to this platform, companies can efficiently manage their devices and applications, while simplifying processes and guaranteeing optimum security.

Here’s an overview of the main benefits of Microsoft Intune.

1. A unified solution for device management

Centralization is one of Microsoft Intune’s strong points. This solution enables you to manage a variety of devices, such as :

• Mobile devices: iOS and Android smartphones and tablets.

By reducing the complexity of multi-platform management, Microsoft Intune enables IT teams to save time and optimize their interventions. What’s more, thanks to its native integration with Azure Active Directory (Azure AD), it facilitates identity and access management for all users.

2. Reset methods tailored to your needs

Microsoft Intune offers several reset methods to meet specific needs:

• Wipe: a complete reset for devices lost, stolen or leaving the company. All data, applications and settings are deleted.
• Fresh Start: refreshes a slow device by removing unnecessary software while preserving user data and Azure AD registration.
• Autopilot Reset: ideal for quickly reassigning a device to a new user. Essential settings are retained, such as connection to Azure AD and regional configurations.

These options offer invaluable flexibility and reduce the need for manual intervention by IT administrators.

The result: considerable time savings for IT administrators and a simplified deployment process for end-users.
