Modern Device Management Demands a Scalable Solution
With a growing device fleet stemming from hybrid/remote work scenarios, organizations face several management challenges. From complex onboarding, patching and compliance, IT professionals have had to extend their bandwidth so employees, contractors, and partners can transition to remote work while maintaining productivity. Whether they are corporate-owned, personal, or shared, Intune allows you to manage devices remotely, centralizing control for thousands of endpoints.
Intune Licensing Options for Large Device Environments
Microsoft Intune is organized into several tiers, each one with different features designed to fit different organizational needs, and Intune pricing will vary depending on the tier and licensing model you choose.
- Intune Plan 1 is perfect for small to mid-sized organizations looking for cross-platform device management, built-in end point security and mobile application management.
- Upgrading to the Intune Suite however, would be ideal for large organizations or high-device environments, with endpoint privilege management and advanced endpoint analytics.
Along with these tiers, there are two main licensing options suited for different needs:
User-based licensing allows you to license Intune per user. Each user can enroll and manage up to five devices, whether it’s Windows, iOS, Android, or macOS.
Device-based licensing licenses Intune per device, allowing multiple users to manage a single device. However, it applies only to Windows devices.
Both licensing options include the following features:
- Device management: Enroll, configure, and update your devices, and apply security and update policies.
- App management: Deploy and manage apps across your devices. Control app access and data sharing.
- Data protection: Protect your data with encryption, conditional access, multi-factor authentication, and compliance policies.
- Monitoring and reporting: Use monitoring and reporting tools to track and troubleshoot your devices, apps, data statuses and issues.
When considering Intune pricing, it’s important to evaluate both the features and the deployment scale. Purchasing your Intune license through a Cloud Solutions Partner (like the 365 Cloud Store) can bring even more cost benefits, with 3% savings compared to Microsoft’s published prices. Different subscriptions to Microsoft 365 (such as E3 and E5) integrate Microsoft Intune in bundles that can increase cost savings and help you leverage the full capabilities of your Intune environment. You can learn more about your different licensing options in our Intune Licensing page.
