Why We Chose It
Our Reasoning
Intune is included with Microsoft 365 Business Premium and integrates natively with Entra ID and Conditional Access. This means one platform for identity, devices, and security policies—not three different tools from different vendors.
- Included with M365 Business Premium (no extra cost)
- Native integration with Conditional Access
- Windows Autopilot for zero-touch deployment
- Consistent policy across Windows, Mac, iOS, Android
- App protection policies for BYOD scenarios
- Integrates with Defender for endpoint compliance
How It Fits
Part of the Athencia Stack
Intune is the device management layer of every Athencia deployment. We configure compliance policies that work with Conditional Access—non-compliant devices can't access company data. Combined with Autopilot, new hires can set up their own laptops with zero IT involvement.
Intune FAQs
Does Intune work with Macs?
Yes. Intune manages macOS, iOS, Android, and Windows devices. We can enforce security policies, deploy apps, and ensure compliance across all platforms.
What about personal phones (BYOD)?
Intune supports app protection policies for BYOD. We can containerize work data within specific apps without managing the entire device. Users keep privacy, you keep security.
How does Autopilot work?
When a new employee's laptop arrives, they power it on, connect to WiFi, sign in with their Microsoft 365 account, and Autopilot automatically configures everything—security settings, applications, policies. No IT involvement required.
