What does Microsoft provides to deploy application bundles ?

Question

Hi,

We are currently looking what Microsoft has to offer in terms of application bundle deployment.

We saw that we could do very limited stuff with Intune(Endpoint Management)

Is Microsoft Configuration Manager the equivalent of Zenworks ?

If yes, is Configuration Manager going to be supported for a long time or is it planned to be discontinued soon ?

Thank you !

Hey there Antonin Audard

Thats a good question and thanks for using QandA platform

So Microsoft offers several solutions tailored to different needs. Intune, provides cloud-based management for mobile devices and PCs. While it supports application deployment.

On the other hand, SCCM is an on-premises solution offering comprehensive features for deploying application bundles, managing devices, and ensuring compliance. Configuration Manager is not directly equivalent to Zenworks but provides extensive management capabilities.

Microsoft is committed to supporting Configuration Manager, As for whether Configuration Manager is equivalent to Zenworks, while they serve similar purposes, they have different architectures and capabilities.

If this helps kindly accept the answer thanks much.
