What is Microsoft Endpoint Manager?
Microsoft Endpoint Manager (MEM) is a cloud-based solution that is designed to address the challenges associated with deploying, managing and securing devices in the enterprise. This includes servers, PCs and mobile devices. IT administrators are also able to create policies for personal devices being used to access an organization's applications and data.
What is included in Microsoft Endpoint Manager?
MEM includes several different services, which collectively allow for the management of physical, virtual and mobile devices throughout an organization. The following services are included with MEM:
Microsoft Intune. As Microsoft's solution for mobile device management and mobile application management, Intune is a cloud-based solution that allows admins to configure and secure iOS, Android, MacOS and Windows devices. It can also be used as a solution for deploying applications to managed devices.
Configuration Manager. Whereas Intune is a cloud-based solution for managing a variety of devices, Configuration Manager resides on premises and is used to deploy applications and manage updates for PCs and servers.
Co-management. This tool ties Intune and Configuration Manager together so that either one can be designated as the management authority for an organization's various workload groups.
Desktop Analytics. This is a cloud-based solution that delivers actionable insights based on the data gathered by Configuration Manager. It can help organizations identify issues with applications, drivers and updates.
