Microsoft Intune vs RMM: Proven Guide to the Best Fit
Intune ships inside a Microsoft 365 subscription you may already own; a traditional RMM arrives with an IT provider, an agent on every machine and a per-device fee. They look interchangeable and are not. This guide sets out what each platform actually does, how enrolment and policy differ from agents and alerts, the seventy per cent of workstation tasks where the two genuinely overlap, the tasks only one of them can do at all, what each costs once design and monitoring labour is counted, a five-question framework for deciding, how to run both without conflicting policy, a twelve-week migration plan, the five mistakes that derail the project, and the questions that expose whether your provider has designed a boundary or simply picked a favourite.
