Using Intune for Application Management, it shows Managed Apps by device clearly and what the status is. However Intune is missing a feature that many other UEM tools have and that is essential from a support perspective: (remotely) force installation of an available application.
Is this feature anywhere on the roadmap?

VanakenJ By "available application" you mean one that is assigned to a user as optional, that they can install from Company Portal? If the app needs to be installed, you would assign it as required. Or is there a reason you would assign as Available, but still need to force the installation?
If this is for VPP apps (you don't specify an OS in your post) please like (👍) this post on aka.ms/IntuneFeedback https://feedbackportal.microsoft.com/feedback/idea/149d2f14-0529-ef11-8ee8-6045bdb3639f?q=force+installationThis is in the scenario of a Windows app deployed to a group of users as 'Available', where IT support wants to install (push) installation of the app on behalf of (a single) user. This could extend reach of IT support and offer better service to end users.

Thanks for the scenario. This is not something that we are looking at, though we do see some benefit. Recommend training the users on using Company Portal to find the apps that've been assigned and showing them how install them.
Alternatively, we have Intune Remote Help where IT can remote into a device, but this is probably not what you are looking for.
