In general, your requirements determine the best tool for the job. This article breaks down each platform\u2019s features and the business and organizational impacts of each service to help you determine which one is the right choice for your organization. Let\u2019s start by exploring 探花大神.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
探花大神\u2019s Software Management<\/h2>\n\n\n\n![\"Software](\"https:\/\/jumpcloud.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Software-management.png\")
探花大神 provides optionality for app repositories<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n探花大神 provides a unified identity, device, and access management platform designed for IT simplification. App lifecycle management is an important component of healthy device posture, because keeping apps up to date is the best way to avoid vulnerabilities. The platform offers OS patching<\/a> and the ability to install and manage apps from trusted sources like a private repository and app stores. It also manages apps on endpoints across multiple operating systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\nApp Management<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Admins can use the 探花大神 Admin Console to upload and install Android, Apple, and Windows apps from either uploads or app stores. It eliminates the need to host custom applications and purchase point solutions for app management. Android apps can be deployed on devices that are enrolled in Enterprise Mobility Management (EMM) using 探花大神. 探花大神\u2019s App Repo will soon have parity between Microsoft Store app and Apple Volume Purchase Program (VPP) apps, for a patch-forward approach to app lifecycle management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"User](\"https:\/\/jumpcloud.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/user-groups.png\")
A Microsoft Store app is assigned to users via groups<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\nConsiderations:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n- MSI (Windows) and PKG (Apple) file formats are currently supported for the private repository. 探花大神 is working to add support for additional formats.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Storage (total across the entire repository) is limited to 10GB.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Egress (data consumed from the repository) is limited to 10GB per licensed user per month.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Maximum allowable application size is 5GB.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Prerequisites:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n- Requires Windows MDM<\/a> for MSI deployments<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Requires Apple MDM<\/a> for PKG deployments<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Packages must include valid, signed certifications to ensure file integrity<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

Note:<\/strong> \nResources<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nManage Software for Windows with Microsoft Store<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\nGet Started: Software Management<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\nManage Software from Apple\u2019s VPP<\/a><\/p>\n <\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\nApproval Workflows<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
The ability for users to access requests to apps and an approval process is forthcoming. The feature will introduce a catalog of apps that can be requested as well as a workflow for approvals by designated managers. The goal is to enable users to obtain access to the apps they need when they need them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Device Trust and Access Control<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
探花大神\u2019s software repo only permits managed endpoints to increase security. Admins may enroll all corporate-owned devices (COD) and bring your own devices<\/a> (BYOD). A strategy for mobile devices is especially important for remote, hybrid, or global work environments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n探花大神 Mobile Device Trust prevents unmanaged devices (Android, iOS, iPadOS) from accessing enterprise services through browsers and native applications. It enhances mobile security through 探花大神 Go\u2122<\/a>, a phishing-resistant credential that eliminates passwords and MFA fatigue<\/a> for a more seamless user experience. Device trust introduces stronger authentication factors to user portals and single sign-on<\/a> (SSO) apps to protect your resources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/p><\/div>
Note:<\/strong> \nResource<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nSimulation: Conditional Access: Device Trust<\/a><\/p>\n <\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\nIntune\u2019s Software Management and GRC<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Microsoft Intune offers a comprehensive suite of features for app management. It\u2019s not included with Azure Active Directory (AAD), now known as Entra ID, and is usually licensed through Microsoft 365 bundles. MDM must be \u201cturned on\u201d in AAD; Intune configures the enrollment options. Intune requires a Premium 1 AAD subscription or higher in order to work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
App Management<\/h3>\n\n\n\n![\"App](\"https:\/\/jumpcloud.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/app-management.png\")
<\/figure>\n\n\n\nIntune allows you to deploy, update, and remove apps across various platforms, including iOS, Android, and Windows. Software can be distributed from private app stores and Intune can feature apps within Microsoft\u2019s proprietary Company Portal app for end users. Devices that are joined via Active Directory (AD) are synced using the Configuration Manager connector. Intune is also used as a channel to distribute and manage Microsoft\u2019s Office 365 apps for users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Considerations:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n- Microsoft Store for Business (licensed separately) syncs apps to Apple\u2019s Intune; however, it is being retired in favor of Intune\u2019s app management.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Microsoft hosts prepackaged Win32 apps within its Enterprise App Catalog, which is another add-on for self-updating.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Intune supports a variety of file formats.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Apps may be sorted into categories.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Admins may assign a code-signing certificate to distribute line-of-business apps.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- The maximum application size varies depending on the installer that\u2019s being used. For instance, an ioS app can\u2019t exceed 2GB but a Win32 app may be as large as 30GB.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Intune includes 2GB of cloud storage.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
<\/p><\/div>
Note:<\/strong> \nAlso consider this: Intune gates off features like the ability to view local accounts residing on a PC as add-ons or as part of Intune Suite. You\u2019ll pay more for the full platform. Learn more about whether or not Intune pricing<\/a> is worth it.<\/p>\n <\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\nApproval Workflows<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Apps that are displayed in the Microsoft Store are vetted by admins. Administrative approvals may be configured for users to submit a business justification to access apps or scripts to one (or more) approvers. This workflow serves as a safeguard against a compromised admin account.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p><\/div>
Note:<\/strong> Access requests and access packages for SaaS apps are restricted to the Entra Identity Governance add-on to AAD Premium or the Microsoft Entra Suite SKU.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\nGRC Features<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Intune provides tools for managing GRC, but isn\u2019t strictly intended for that purpose. It\u2019s often used in conjunction with other Microsoft solutions like Microsoft Purview and Azure Information Protection (AIP) to create a comprehensive GRC strategy. You have to license all of those services in order to get the most out of Intune and AAD, depending on your requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
App and Data Protection<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
App protection policies:<\/strong> Create policies to protect data within apps, ensuring sensitive information isn\u2019t leaked or shared inappropriately. It works best with Microsoft Office.<\/p>\n\n\n\nConditional access:<\/strong> Implement policies to control access to apps based on device compliance, location, and user risk. This requires Premium AAD subscriptions.<\/p>\n\n\n\nApp configuration:<\/strong> Manage app settings to ensure compliance with corporate policies.<\/p>\n\n\n\nMonitoring and Reporting<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
App monitoring:<\/strong> Monitor app usage and performance to ensure they are functioning correctly.<\/p>\n\n\n\nReporting:<\/strong> Generate reports on app deployment, usage, and compliance.<\/p>\n\n\n\nUser and Device Management<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
App management on personal devices:<\/strong> Use Mobile Application Management (MAM) to manage apps on devices that aren\u2019t enrolled with Intune.<\/p>\n\n\n\nAccess control:<\/strong> Manage access to organizational resources and enforce compliance policies.<\/p>\n\n\n\nProprietary Integrations<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Intune works best when it\u2019s used with other Microsoft products, some of which may not be optional.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
AAD<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
Intune requires AAD. AAD is used to manage users and groups as well as to enable MDM and any access control policies related to devices. In other words, it\u2019s a must-have integration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Office Apps<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
Built-in app configuration and protection policies for Microsoft Office apps are more robust than what you can expect to see for any third-party software or services managed within Intune.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Information Protection and Microsoft Purview<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
AIP and Microsoft Purview aren\u2019t needed to protect some sensitive data, but integrating those services enhances its data protection capabilities. Intune isn\u2019t a standalone GRC suite; it plays a role within the broader Microsoft architecture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
AIP <\/strong>is a cloud-based solution that helps organizations classify, label, and protect sensitive data. <\/p>\n\n\n\nMicrosoft Purview<\/strong> is designed to help organizations govern, protect, and manage their data across their entire data estate. It combines data governance, data security, and risk and compliance management into a unified platform. However, it\u2019s a separate product from AIP.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/p><\/div>
Note:<\/strong> Speaking of the broader architecture: Intune won\u2019t safeguard your data from leaks in SaaS apps. AIP or Purview must be combined with Defender for Cloud apps and AAD Premium in order to monitor and\/or block bad user behaviors.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\nOpen Directory Platform vs. Platform Bundling<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Microsoft\u2019s vertical product integrations and focus on GRC may make it the right tool for some organizations that have stringent compliance requirements, and are heavy users of Office apps. Its products are designed to work well together, but Microsoft could be a mismatch for organizations that want to choose best-of-breed apps beyond what\u2019s included in M365.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Small- to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that value optionality and flexibility might instead opt for 探花大神. It provides IT simplification and connects users to whatever resources they need. 探花大神 takes an interoperable approach via its open directory platform, making it possible for SMEs that use other IdPs like Okta or Google to also manage apps and devices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p><\/div>
Note:<\/strong> \nIs Microsoft 365 E3 right for you?<\/a><\/p>\n <\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\nDemo 探花大神\u2019s App Lifecycle Management<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
探花大神 unites endpoint management with identity and access management (IAM). This architecture delivers strong access control while consolidating IT management tools into a single console for greater operational efficiency. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Admins can even temporarily elevate local account permissions on a time-bound basis, execute PowerShell commands, provide remote assistance, and manage software and OS patching \u2014 all from a single pane of glass. SMEs can license for workflows versus product integrations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Connect to whatever resources you need, including AD, Google Workspace, HRIS platforms, and more. You can try 探花大神 for free<\/a> to learn whether it\u2019s right for your organization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/p><\/div>
Note:<\/strong> \n探花大神 is enhancing its platform<\/a> to unify SaaS, IT security, and asset management to uncover shadow IT<\/a>. The platform\u2019s streamlined architecture provides for detailed reporting to track events, identities, and other IT assets to assist with GRC and cybersecurity initiatives.<\/p>\n <\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Intune and 探花大神 feature app lifecycle management, but they can serve very different purposes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":120,"featured_media":46103,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_oasis_is_in_workflow":0,"_oasis_original":0,"_oasis_task_priority":"","inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[2753],"tags":[],"collection":[2778,2779],"platform":[],"funnel_stage":[3015],"coauthors":[2537],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n

探花大神 provides a unified identity, device, and access management platform designed for IT simplification. App lifecycle management is an important component of healthy device posture, because keeping apps up to date is the best way to avoid vulnerabilities. The platform offers OS patching<\/a> and the ability to install and manage apps from trusted sources like a private repository and app stores. It also manages apps on endpoints across multiple operating systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Admins can use the 探花大神 Admin Console to upload and install Android, Apple, and Windows apps from either uploads or app stores. It eliminates the need to host custom applications and purchase point solutions for app management. Android apps can be deployed on devices that are enrolled in Enterprise Mobility Management (EMM) using 探花大神. 探花大神\u2019s App Repo will soon have parity between Microsoft Store app and Apple Volume Purchase Program (VPP) apps, for a patch-forward approach to app lifecycle management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Considerations:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Prerequisites:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Resources<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Manage Software for Windows with Microsoft Store<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Get Started: Software Management<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Manage Software from Apple\u2019s VPP<\/a><\/p>\n <\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n The ability for users to access requests to apps and an approval process is forthcoming. The feature will introduce a catalog of apps that can be requested as well as a workflow for approvals by designated managers. The goal is to enable users to obtain access to the apps they need when they need them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 探花大神\u2019s software repo only permits managed endpoints to increase security. Admins may enroll all corporate-owned devices (COD) and bring your own devices<\/a> (BYOD). A strategy for mobile devices is especially important for remote, hybrid, or global work environments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 探花大神 Mobile Device Trust prevents unmanaged devices (Android, iOS, iPadOS) from accessing enterprise services through browsers and native applications. It enhances mobile security through 探花大神 Go\u2122<\/a>, a phishing-resistant credential that eliminates passwords and MFA fatigue<\/a> for a more seamless user experience. Device trust introduces stronger authentication factors to user portals and single sign-on<\/a> (SSO) apps to protect your resources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Resource<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Simulation: Conditional Access: Device Trust<\/a><\/p>\n <\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n Microsoft Intune offers a comprehensive suite of features for app management. It\u2019s not included with Azure Active Directory (AAD), now known as Entra ID, and is usually licensed through Microsoft 365 bundles. MDM must be \u201cturned on\u201d in AAD; Intune configures the enrollment options. Intune requires a Premium 1 AAD subscription or higher in order to work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Intune allows you to deploy, update, and remove apps across various platforms, including iOS, Android, and Windows. Software can be distributed from private app stores and Intune can feature apps within Microsoft\u2019s proprietary Company Portal app for end users. Devices that are joined via Active Directory (AD) are synced using the Configuration Manager connector. Intune is also used as a channel to distribute and manage Microsoft\u2019s Office 365 apps for users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Considerations:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Also consider this: Intune gates off features like the ability to view local accounts residing on a PC as add-ons or as part of Intune Suite. You\u2019ll pay more for the full platform. Learn more about whether or not Intune pricing<\/a> is worth it.<\/p>\n <\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n Apps that are displayed in the Microsoft Store are vetted by admins. Administrative approvals may be configured for users to submit a business justification to access apps or scripts to one (or more) approvers. This workflow serves as a safeguard against a compromised admin account.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Note:<\/strong> Access requests and access packages for SaaS apps are restricted to the Entra Identity Governance add-on to AAD Premium or the Microsoft Entra Suite SKU.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n Intune provides tools for managing GRC, but isn\u2019t strictly intended for that purpose. It\u2019s often used in conjunction with other Microsoft solutions like Microsoft Purview and Azure Information Protection (AIP) to create a comprehensive GRC strategy. You have to license all of those services in order to get the most out of Intune and AAD, depending on your requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n App protection policies:<\/strong> Create policies to protect data within apps, ensuring sensitive information isn\u2019t leaked or shared inappropriately. It works best with Microsoft Office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Conditional access:<\/strong> Implement policies to control access to apps based on device compliance, location, and user risk. This requires Premium AAD subscriptions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n App configuration:<\/strong> Manage app settings to ensure compliance with corporate policies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n App monitoring:<\/strong> Monitor app usage and performance to ensure they are functioning correctly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Reporting:<\/strong> Generate reports on app deployment, usage, and compliance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n App management on personal devices:<\/strong> Use Mobile Application Management (MAM) to manage apps on devices that aren\u2019t enrolled with Intune.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Access control:<\/strong> Manage access to organizational resources and enforce compliance policies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Intune works best when it\u2019s used with other Microsoft products, some of which may not be optional.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Intune requires AAD. AAD is used to manage users and groups as well as to enable MDM and any access control policies related to devices. In other words, it\u2019s a must-have integration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Built-in app configuration and protection policies for Microsoft Office apps are more robust than what you can expect to see for any third-party software or services managed within Intune.<\/p>\n\n\n\n AIP and Microsoft Purview aren\u2019t needed to protect some sensitive data, but integrating those services enhances its data protection capabilities. Intune isn\u2019t a standalone GRC suite; it plays a role within the broader Microsoft architecture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n AIP <\/strong>is a cloud-based solution that helps organizations classify, label, and protect sensitive data. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Microsoft Purview<\/strong> is designed to help organizations govern, protect, and manage their data across their entire data estate. It combines data governance, data security, and risk and compliance management into a unified platform. However, it\u2019s a separate product from AIP.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Note:<\/strong> Speaking of the broader architecture: Intune won\u2019t safeguard your data from leaks in SaaS apps. AIP or Purview must be combined with Defender for Cloud apps and AAD Premium in order to monitor and\/or block bad user behaviors.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n Microsoft\u2019s vertical product integrations and focus on GRC may make it the right tool for some organizations that have stringent compliance requirements, and are heavy users of Office apps. Its products are designed to work well together, but Microsoft could be a mismatch for organizations that want to choose best-of-breed apps beyond what\u2019s included in M365.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Small- to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that value optionality and flexibility might instead opt for 探花大神. It provides IT simplification and connects users to whatever resources they need. 探花大神 takes an interoperable approach via its open directory platform, making it possible for SMEs that use other IdPs like Okta or Google to also manage apps and devices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Is Microsoft 365 E3 right for you?<\/a><\/p>\n <\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n 探花大神 unites endpoint management with identity and access management (IAM). This architecture delivers strong access control while consolidating IT management tools into a single console for greater operational efficiency. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Admins can even temporarily elevate local account permissions on a time-bound basis, execute PowerShell commands, provide remote assistance, and manage software and OS patching \u2014 all from a single pane of glass. SMEs can license for workflows versus product integrations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Connect to whatever resources you need, including AD, Google Workspace, HRIS platforms, and more. You can try 探花大神 for free<\/a> to learn whether it\u2019s right for your organization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 探花大神 is enhancing its platform<\/a> to unify SaaS, IT security, and asset management to uncover shadow IT<\/a>. The platform\u2019s streamlined architecture provides for detailed reporting to track events, identities, and other IT assets to assist with GRC and cybersecurity initiatives.<\/p>\n <\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Intune and 探花大神 feature app lifecycle management, but they can serve very different purposes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":120,"featured_media":46103,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_oasis_is_in_workflow":0,"_oasis_original":0,"_oasis_task_priority":"","inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[2753],"tags":[],"collection":[2778,2779],"platform":[],"funnel_stage":[3015],"coauthors":[2537],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nApp Management<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
