Let’s understand some insights into Intune Vs SCCM Past Present Future. Brad Anderson (Corp. VP, Microsoft 365) showed in Microsoft Ignite 2020 how to lead during these uncertain times by using modern management tools to help organizations survive and thrive. For more details & watch the recording here.

He also provided interesting data points about Intune vs. SCCM adoption. Microsoft’s move from ConfigMgr to Intune is quite visible in the stats shared by Microsoft. However, this doesn’t mean Microsoft is moving away from ConfigMgr development. Brad mentioned on Twitter that ConfigMgr is an eternal part of MEM so that it will live forever.

Intune and SCCM are two enterprise-level device management solutions developed by Microsoft. When comparing Intune and SCCM, it’s essential to consider your specific organizational needs. The right choice depends on your current IT infrastructure, security requirements, and device management needs.

Intune works well for organizations that require cloud-based management and focus on mobile and remote devices. SCCM is a better fit for organizations that need comprehensive on-premises management with extensive configuration options and control over their IT infrastructure.
