Managing Microsoft Intune Connections
Microsoft Intune is a cloud-based service that focuses on mobile device management and mobile application management. It helps organizations manage the devices employees use to access company data, ensuring that security policies are enforced and that data is protected. The Microsoft Intune Connector, provided by Flexera, collects inventory data from Microsoft Intune and seamlessly imports it into IT Visibility once a day. The data collected gives you comprehensive visibility into managed devices, user data, and managed and unmanaged applications installed on corporate-owned devices in your Microsoft Intune estate.

Note:The unrecognized evidence from five devices or more is collected as a part of the inventory collection process.
