Introduction
Imagine you're an IT administrator managing 2,000 devices across your organization. Your users need remote support when issues arise, but coordinating third-party remote assistance tools creates security risks. Your help desk team struggles to troubleshoot devices without administrative rights, yet granting users local admin access violates your security policies. You need better insights into device performance and anomalies, but the built-in reporting doesn't provide the depth you need.
Microsoft Intune provides robust device management capabilities out of the box. However, many organizations face scenarios that require capabilities beyond core Intune functionality. The Microsoft Intune Suite addresses these advanced needs by providing mission-critical add-on capabilities that extend endpoint management and security.
In this module, you'll explore the Microsoft Intune Suite and its components. You'll learn about the business value each component provides, how they integrate with core Intune capabilities, and how to plan for licensing and deployment.
Example scenario
Suppose you work at Contoso, a healthcare organization with 2,500 devices. Your security team wants to implement Zero Trust principles by removing local admin rights from users, but users still need to install approved software and drivers. Your support team needs a secure way to remotely assist employees working from home. Your operations team wants predictive insights into device health issues before they affect productivity. You'll evaluate the Microsoft Intune Suite to determine which components address these requirements.
What will you explore?
In this module, you will:
- Describe the purpose and business value of the Microsoft Intune Suite
- Identify key Intune Suite components and their capabilities
- Compare Intune Suite features to core Intune functionality
- Plan licensing and deployment strategies for Intune Suite add-ons
What is the main goal?
By the end of this module, you'll be able to explain what the Microsoft Intune Suite offers and identify scenarios where Intune Suite components provide value beyond core Intune capabilities.
