Which do you have intune or sccm, there is a big difference? Which 3rd party tools have you looked at so far? Have you looked at software metering in sccm?
Intune Endpoint Manager\SCCM - Remove unused applications (Google, FireFox etc.)
Hi,
I was wondering is someone had any ideas for the below question, anything will be great.
We need a solution that will monitor application usage and then remove the application if not used for a set period of time.
For example, if FireFox is not used for 3 months or so then uninstall the application, it means we can keep more on top of the security of our devices (FireFox updates when opened and closed etc. - If not used then it will not update) but also means we can keep on top of licenses if a licensed application is not used we SCCM or Intune will remove the application.
I am asking regarding SCCM and Intune but if there is another 3rd party solution or plugin then please do let me know.
Kind regards,
Ben
