I've been kicking the tires on this and have already run into a significant challenge.
The apps in your enterprise store aren't being updated frequently enough. For example, Zoom is still at version 5.17.2.29988 from Jan 8 2024, yet there have been two subsequent releases on Jan 23 and 31st. The same goes for Cisco Jabber 14.2 vs 14.3, with 14.3 released Dec 23rd 2023. In order to be effective in patching, including when vulnerabilities are announced, the catalog needs to update in lock/step with the vendor's release of product. It's can't lag 4-6 weeks otherwise the team must resort to packaging, which this solution should avoid.
I've already had to do this, where I've setup an app using Ent App Management, only to have to go back and build a regular w32 app to deploy a new version with critical fixes.
All also add that the per-user licensing it terrible, both for this and the suite. In higher education where the ratio of people to computers can be extreme, this add-on or elevation to the Intune Suite becomes prohibitive. MS needs to revisit this and consider a device rather than user pricing model.
