Managing Mac devices in your work environment is more crucial than ever. Remote work and hybrid environments have made it challenging to get all of your devices on the same page. Organizations need a robust solution that can handle these challenges efficiently. Microsoft Intune is that solution.

What is Microsoft Intune?

Microsoft Intune acts as a hub for your device management needs. It simplifies app management, automates policy deployment, and integrates with mobile threat defenses. This powerful tool is designed to manage user access to organizational resources across various devices, from mobile devices and desktop computers to virtual endpoints.

How Microsoft Intune Improves Mac Device Management

Microsoft Intune can now utilize Mac devices with no additional software needed! Here are some of the key features of Microsoft Intune that will improve your business’ Mac experience:

Automated device enrollment

With one central system controlling your device access, Microsoft Intune makes adding new devices to your network much easier. Intune can readily adapt to various third-party software to ensure that your new devices will quickly be integrated into your system, cutting down on needed integration time that would otherwise be required to enable your new devices to join your network.

Microsoft Entra ID-based single sign-on experience

Using Intune doesn’t just connect your devices but makes them safer, too.

Microsoft Intune utilizes its Entra SSO software to ensure that only authorized users can access your device network by providing a singular, exclusive credential. By minimizing logins to the SSO system, hackers will have far fewer login usernames and passwords available to target and exploit your Mac devices.

Comprehensive Compliance Features

Microsoft Intune has compliance and reporting features that support organization-specific requirements, thus ensuring your Mac devices adhere to all necessary protocols and regulations.

Support for Common DMG and PKG app package types

With Microsoft Intune’s ability to thrive with Mac devices and easily handle various DMG and PKG packages, you don't have to worry about converting your files without all the unnecessary hassle.

Declarative Device Management (DDM) for updates

Under Microsoft Intune's management, you won’t have to worry about your Mac losing its DDM abilities. Your Mac devices will still be able to update to your needs, and this can be implemented on all your devices through Intune’s management software.

Remote Help for macOS within the Intune Suite

If you need some extra help with your Mac, no worries. With Microsoft Intune’s new update, you can now use the Remote Help feature to allow IT teams to access your Mac devices remotely to assist with troubleshooting.
