There are five points that you should be aware of and take into consideration before choosing between SCCM and Intune for your organization 

Both Microsoft's System Centre Configuration Manager (SCCM) and Microsoft Intune provide management options for devices, applications, and configurations. Despite the fact that their functions overlap, there are important differences between the two. A thorough overview of SCCM and Intune is provided below:

How to implement fine tuning in your organization, step by step:

1. Scope and Architecture: 

SCCM: With the help of the on-premises management tool System Centre Configuration Manager, businesses may control the devices, applications, and configurations that are part of their internal network infrastructure. With its granular administration capabilities for large-scale installations, SCCM offers great control over the management and deployment procedures.

Intune: With the integration of Microsoft Intune, businesses can control their devices and applications in the cloud. It works with many different kinds of devices, including those running Windows, macOS, iOS, and Android. Intune, which is a component of Microsoft Endpoint Manager, specializes in offering contemporary, cloud-based management features.

2. Management and deployment:

SCCM: Administrators may deploy and manage devices across their network infrastructure with the help of SCCM. It provides capabilities including software distribution, patch management, operating system deployment, and remote control. Using an agent-based strategy, SCCM enables management and communication with the SCCM infrastructure by installing client agents on managed devices.

Intune: With a focus on managing devices that aren't always connected to the company's network, Intune offers cloud-based device management. Administrators can use it to remotely manage settings, apps, and policies. Intune manages devices without the use of client agents by utilizing the built-in mobile device management (MDM) features of modern operating systems including Windows 10, iOS, and Android.

3. Connectivity and Reach:

SCCM: SCCM is an on-premises solution, so in order for devices to get management rules and updates, they must be connected to the organization's network infrastructure. Devices must establish VPN or other remote access connections with the SCCM server infrastructure.

Intune: Through the use of the internet, Intune offers administration features as a cloud-based service. As long as a device has an internet connection, it can be managed anywhere using Intune. Because of this, Intune is an excellent option to administer mobile and remote devices that might not always be connected to the company's network.

4. Mobile Device Management (MDM) and Application Management:

SCCM: Although SCCM provides certain mobile device management features, they are often only applicable to on-premises scenarios and legacy devices. Instead of controlling modern mobile devices, SCCM is primarily involved with managing traditional  desktops and laptops.

Intune: For present-day gadgets like smartphones and tablets, Intune is designed to offer comprehensive mobile device management capabilities. It enables businesses to deploy apps, set up settings, enforce security policies, and manage data on mobile devices. Additionally, Intune provides functionality for managing and distributing applications from an app store.

5. Hybrid Scenarios:

SCCM: A hybrid management environment can be created by integrating SCCM with Intune. Through Intune's cloud-based MDM features, this connection enables organizations to expand their SCCM infrastructure to manage mobile devices. It offers a uniform administration interface for both conventional and contemporary devices.

Intune: To enable organizations to use both on-premises and cloud-based management features, Intune may be linked with SCCM. Through this integration, businesses may continue to manage on-premises devices with SCCM while monitoring mobile devices with Intune and taking advantage of cloud-based management features.

It's crucial to remember that Microsoft is always improving these products and their features. As Microsoft brings SCCM and Intune closer together to offer a unified administration experience through Microsoft Endpoint Manager, certain features and functionality may change over time.

In my upcoming blog post, I'll walk you through the step-by-step configuration of co-management using SCCM and Intune. Remain tuned.
