What are your suggestions when clients have complex application stacks and don't appreciate the current process of application deployment and application upgrade management currently available via Intune? ConfigMgr still provides far better application management capabilities for complex application deployments that are very common in the Legal Industry.

No one is forcing or even asking customers to move away from ConfigMgr. It's still a great tool and is why we've created features like co-management and tenant attach -- collectively referred to as cloud attach. We are currently hard at work on direct integration between Intune and the Microsoft Store and Windows Package Manager repositories. The vision here is that this will greatly simplify all application management tasks and make them no-brainers for standard, public software management.- DGOct 24, 2022Copper ContributorNo, no one is forcing anyone. The issue is this panel is encouraging a Cloud First mentality, but there are still some serious lacks of feature parity that many organizations still depend upon. Even startups that require certain applications and control requirements cannot achieve this via Intune solely.

This is because that is our engineering direction. I disagree with the last statement though as we have many, many organizations that have adopted Intune only for their management strategy (some very large, some small, and everywhere in between). This often takes a paradigm shift and re-thinking of how you go about management (perhaps some creativity as well), but it can be done. Just because its the way you've always done it, doesn't make it the only or only right way to do it.
