Until 2023, Microsoft Intune was a single product with a single licence. Every Intune capability (device management, application management, compliance policies, conditional access integration, endpoint analytics) was included in one subscription that came bundled with Microsoft 365 E3, E5, Enterprise Mobility + Security (EMS) E3 and E5, and as a standalone purchase. Then Microsoft restructured Intune into a tiered model, creating a base plan (Plan 1) that retained most existing capabilities, and a premium tier (Plan 2) that gated new advanced features behind an additional per-user monthly fee.
The restructure matters for two reasons. First, it means that organisations on M365 E3 or E5 already have Intune Plan 1 at no additional cost, but the advanced features Microsoft is now marketing most aggressively (endpoint privilege management, advanced analytics, firmware management) require a separate purchase. Second, it creates a new licensing optimisation challenge: organisations must determine which users genuinely need Plan 2 capabilities and which are fully served by Plan 1, because deploying Plan 2 to all users when only a subset needs it wastes $4 to $10 per user per month across the entire user population.
For a 10,000-user organisation, the difference between deploying Plan 2 to everyone versus deploying it to only the 2,000 users who need it is $384,000 per year. Understanding the feature boundaries between the plans is not an academic exercise. It is a high-stakes financial decision.
Intune Plan 1 (included in M365 E3/E5): The core endpoint management platform. MDM for Windows, macOS, iOS, Android. MAM for app-level data protection without device enrolment. Compliance policies and conditional access integration. Application deployment, configuration profiles, Windows Autopilot, endpoint security baselines, and basic endpoint analytics. For most organisations, Plan 1 is the complete device management solution.
Intune Plan 2 (~$4/user/month add-on): Adds Microsoft Tunnel for MAM (VPN connectivity for managed apps on unmanaged devices), advanced endpoint analytics (device query, enhanced anomaly detection, battery health reporting), and specialised device management for mission-critical hardware. Plan 2 is designed for specific advanced requirements, not as a universal upgrade.
Intune Suite (~$10/user/month): Bundles Plan 2 with all individual premium add-ons: Endpoint Privilege Management (EPM), Enterprise Application Management (EAM), Advanced Analytics, Remote Help, Firmware-over-the-Air (FOTA), and Microsoft Cloud PKI. Cost-effective when an organisation needs three or more premium capabilities for the same user population.
The feature boundaries between Intune tiers determine which plan each user needs. This comparison covers every significant capability and its licence requirement.
| Feature | Plan 1 (Included) | Plan 2 Add-on | Suite / Individual Add-on |
|---|---|---|---|
| MDM (Windows, macOS, iOS, Android) | Yes | - | - |
| MAM (app protection without enrolment) | Yes | - | - |
| Compliance policies and conditional access | Yes | - | - |
| Application deployment and management | Yes | - | - |
| Configuration profiles and security baselines | Yes | - | - |
| Windows Autopilot | Yes | - | - |
| Basic endpoint analytics | Yes | - | - |
| Microsoft Tunnel (enrolled devices) | Yes | - | - |
| Microsoft Tunnel for MAM (unenrolled devices) | No | Yes | Yes (Suite) |
| Advanced endpoint analytics (device query, anomaly detection) | No | No | Yes (Add-on or Suite) |
| Endpoint Privilege Management (EPM) | No | No | Yes (Add-on or Suite) |
| Remote Help | No | No | Yes (Add-on or Suite) |
| Enterprise Application Management (EAM) | No | No | Yes (Add-on or Suite) |
| Firmware-over-the-Air (FOTA) | No | No | Yes (Add-on or Suite) |
| Microsoft Cloud PKI | No | No | Yes (Add-on or Suite) |
Before evaluating Plan 2 or the Suite, every organisation should assess whether it is fully utilising Plan 1 capabilities that are already included in its M365 licence. Most organisations use less than 60% of Plan 1's functionality, meaning the most impactful "upgrade" is often deeper adoption of existing capabilities rather than purchasing additional tiers.
Mobile Device Management (MDM): Full lifecycle management for Windows, macOS, iOS, iPadOS, Android, and Linux devices. MDM provides device enrolment (manual, bulk, zero-touch via Autopilot or Apple Business Manager), configuration profiles (Wi-Fi, VPN, email, certificates, restrictions), compliance policies (encryption, OS version, password requirements, jailbreak detection), and remote actions (wipe, retire, lock, restart, rename). Plan 1 MDM covers every device management scenario that most organisations encounter. The capability is identical to what enterprise MDM competitors charge $5 to $8/device/month for as standalone products.
Mobile Application Management (MAM): App-level data protection without requiring device enrolment. MAM policies control how corporate data is handled within managed applications: prevent copy/paste to personal apps, require PIN or biometric authentication, encrypt app data at rest, and selectively wipe corporate data without affecting personal content. MAM is critical for BYOD scenarios where employees use personal devices and the organisation cannot (or chooses not to) enrol the entire device. Plan 1 MAM covers the full app protection policy framework. The only Plan 2 MAM addition is Tunnel for MAM (VPN for unenrolled devices).
Windows Autopilot and Zero-Touch Provisioning: Automated device provisioning that configures new Windows devices directly from the factory or from a reset state, delivering them to users fully configured with applications, policies, and settings without IT touching the physical hardware. For organisations with distributed or remote workforces, Autopilot eliminates the logistics and cost of manual device imaging. This is a Plan 1 capability that many organisations have not yet deployed, representing significant operational savings.
Endpoint Security Baselines and Compliance: Pre-configured security baseline profiles for Windows, Microsoft Edge, Microsoft Defender for Endpoint, and other components. Security baselines implement Microsoft's recommended security configurations as Intune policies that can be deployed to all managed devices. Compliance policies define the minimum security requirements a device must meet (encrypted, current OS, no jailbreak, compliant password) to access corporate resources via conditional access. Together, baselines and compliance policies form the foundation of zero-trust device security, all included in Plan 1.
The highest-impact action is ensuring Plan 1 is fully deployed: Autopilot for zero-touch provisioning, security baselines for endpoint hardening, MAM for BYOD protection, and conditional access integration for zero-trust device security. Only after Plan 1 is fully utilised should the organisation evaluate which specific user segments genuinely need premium capabilities.
The premium capabilities gated behind Plan 2 and individual add-ons address specific enterprise challenges. Each capability has a defined use case and a defined user population that benefits from it. Understanding these use cases is essential for determining which users need premium licensing and which do not.
Endpoint Privilege Management (EPM): Enables standard (non-admin) users to perform specific tasks that would normally require local administrator rights (installing approved applications, running specific executables, configuring certain system settings) without granting them full admin access. IT defines elevation rules that control which applications can be elevated, under what conditions (automatic, user-confirmed, or support-approved), and for which users. EPM addresses the fundamental tension between security (removing local admin rights) and productivity (users who need admin-level tasks). Available as an individual add-on (~$3/user/month) or included in the Suite.
Remote Help: Provides helpdesk technicians with the ability to remotely view and control users' devices directly from the Intune admin console. Sessions are authenticated through Entra ID, logged for audit purposes, and governed by role-based access controls. Available as an individual add-on (~$3.50/user/month) or included in the Suite. Most organisations evaluate Remote Help against existing remote support tools (TeamViewer, ConnectWise, BeyondTrust) for consolidation potential.
Firmware-over-the-Air (FOTA): Enables organisations to manage firmware updates on supported Android devices (primarily Samsung and Zebra) directly from Intune. Critical for organisations with large fleets of Android rugged devices (warehousing, logistics, field services) where firmware updates must be controlled. Organisations without significant Android device fleets do not need this capability.
Advanced Endpoint Analytics: Extends basic endpoint analytics with device query (real-time KQL queries against managed devices), enhanced anomaly detection (AI-powered identification of unusual device behaviour), and battery health reporting. Most valuable for organisations with 5,000+ managed endpoints where proactive analytics reduces support costs and improves uptime.
Enterprise Application Management (EAM): A curated catalogue of pre-packaged, enterprise-ready Win32 applications that IT can deploy directly from Intune without manual packaging. Microsoft maintains the packages, handles updates, and ensures compatibility. Most valuable for organisations with limited application packaging resources.
Microsoft Cloud PKI: A cloud-based certificate authority integrated with Intune that eliminates the need for on-premises PKI infrastructure (Active Directory Certificate Services). Issues, renews, and revokes certificates for managed devices used for Wi-Fi authentication (802.1X), VPN authentication, and S/MIME email encryption.
Microsoft Tunnel for MAM: Extends Microsoft Tunnel VPN connectivity to managed applications on unenrolled (BYOD) devices. This is a Plan 2 capability (not a separate add-on). Critical for organisations with significant BYOD populations that need access to on-premises line-of-business applications. Organisations that are fully cloud-native with no on-premises resources do not need this capability.
Intune Plan 1 is included in multiple Microsoft licensing bundles. Understanding where it is already included prevents duplicate purchases and informs the incremental cost calculation for Plan 2 and the Suite.
Microsoft 365 E3: Includes Intune Plan 1. All E3 users have full MDM, MAM, Autopilot, compliance policies, configuration profiles, security baselines, and basic endpoint analytics. No additional purchase required for core Intune capabilities. The most common Intune deployment scenario.
Microsoft 365 E5: Includes Intune Plan 1 (identical to E3 inclusion). E5 adds Defender for Endpoint Plan 2 (which integrates deeply with Intune for threat-based conditional access) but does not add Intune Plan 2 or Suite capabilities. E5 users who need EPM, Remote Help, or other premium features still require the add-on or Suite purchase.
Enterprise Mobility + Security (EMS) E3: Includes Intune Plan 1. EMS E3 is the standalone mobility and security bundle for organisations not on Microsoft 365 E3/E5. Provides Intune Plan 1 plus Entra ID P1 and Azure Information Protection P1.
EMS E5: Includes Intune Plan 1 plus Entra ID P2, Azure Information Protection P2, and Microsoft Defender for Cloud Apps. Does not include Intune Plan 2 or Suite.
Microsoft 365 F1/F3 (Frontline): F3 includes Intune Plan 1 for frontline worker device management. F1 includes limited Intune capabilities (MAM only, no MDM). Plan 2 or Suite add-ons are available for frontline users who need premium capabilities (particularly FOTA for rugged Android devices in field operations).
Intune standalone: For organisations without M365 or EMS, Intune Plan 1 can be purchased standalone (~$8/user/month). This is the least cost-effective option. M365 E3 includes Intune plus the full productivity suite, making standalone Intune economical only for very specific scenarios where no M365 licence is needed.
Organisations with both M365 E3/E5 and EMS E3/E5 licences sometimes purchase Intune separately or add Plan 2 without recognising that Intune Plan 1 is already included in both M365 and EMS. Cross-reference all Microsoft licences before purchasing any Intune subscription. Duplicate Intune entitlements are surprisingly common in organisations that have accumulated Microsoft licences through multiple procurement cycles.
The most expensive Intune licensing mistake is deploying Plan 2 or the Suite to all users when only a subset needs the premium capabilities. The decision should be made at the user-segment level, not the organisation level.
Knowledge workers on corporate devices (Windows/macOS): Plan 1 covers 90% of requirements (MDM enrolment, compliance policies, application deployment, security baselines, Autopilot). Add EPM (as individual add-on or via Suite) only for users in roles where local admin removal creates documented productivity blockers. Add Remote Help only if replacing an existing third-party remote support tool creates cost savings.
BYOD users (personal iOS/Android): Plan 1 MAM covers app-level data protection without enrolment. Add Plan 2 only if BYOD users need VPN access to on-premises resources via Tunnel for MAM. Fully cloud-native organisations with no on-premises applications do not need Plan 2 for BYOD users.
Frontline workers with rugged Android devices: Plan 1 covers device management. Add FOTA (individual add-on or Suite) for Samsung and Zebra fleet firmware management. Add Advanced Analytics for large device fleets (5,000+) where proactive hardware health monitoring reduces field service costs.
IT administrators and helpdesk staff: The primary candidates for the full Suite. Administrators benefit from Advanced Analytics (device query, anomaly detection), Remote Help (integrated support), and EPM policy management. However, even within IT, not every admin needs every premium feature. Licence the Suite for senior endpoint engineers; individual add-ons for helpdesk staff who only need Remote Help.
The financial impact of Intune plan selection scales linearly with user count. Small differences in per-user pricing multiply into significant annual costs at enterprise scale.
Plan 1 Only ($0 incremental): For organisations on M365 E3 or E5, Plan 1 has no incremental cost. The entire core Intune platform is included. For a 10,000-user organisation, Plan 1 delivers enterprise-grade endpoint management at zero additional cost beyond the existing M365 investment.
Plan 2 (~$4/user/month): At $4/user/month, deploying Plan 2 to 10,000 users costs $480,000/year. If only 2,000 BYOD users need Tunnel for MAM, the targeted deployment costs $96,000/year, an 80% saving versus universal deployment.
A la carte add-ons ($2 to $4 each): Individual add-ons range from approximately $2 to $4 per user per month each. For organisations needing only one or two premium capabilities, a la carte is cheaper than the Suite. An organisation needing only EPM (~$3/user/month) for 1,000 users pays $36,000/year. The Suite for those users would cost $120,000/year.
Suite (~$10/user/month): The Suite is cost-effective only when the organisation needs three or more premium capabilities for the same user population. EPM (~$3) plus Remote Help (~$3.50) plus Advanced Analytics (~$3) equals ~$9.50 a la carte versus $10 for the Suite with additional capabilities included.
| Scenario | Users | Licensing Model | Annual Cost |
|---|---|---|---|
| Core endpoint management only | 10,000 | Plan 1 (in M365 E3) | $0 incremental |
| EPM for desktop support team | 500 | EPM add-on for 500 users | ~$18,000 |
| Tunnel for MAM for BYOD users | 2,000 | Plan 2 for 2,000 users | ~$96,000 |
| Full premium for IT team | 150 | Suite for 150 users | ~$18,000 |
| EPM + Remote Help for all staff | 10,000 | A la carte (~$6.50/user) | ~$780,000 |
| Suite for all staff (mistake) | 10,000 | Suite for 10,000 users | ~$1,200,000 |
| Targeted mix (optimised) | 10,000 total | Plan 1 all + EPM 500 + Plan 2 2,000 + Suite 150 | ~$132,000 |
The targeted mix ($132,000/year) versus universal Suite deployment ($1,200,000/year) delivers identical security outcomes for users who need premium capabilities while saving $1,068,000 annually. Always calculate Intune costs based on specific user populations, not the total Intune user count.
Intune licensing mistakes follow predictable patterns that are easy to prevent once identified.
Deploying the Suite to all users: The most expensive mistake. Microsoft's account teams position the Intune Suite as the "complete" endpoint management solution and recommend organisation-wide deployment. For a 10,000-user organisation, the Suite costs $1.2 million annually. In reality, most users need only Plan 1 (included free in M365), and premium capabilities are relevant for specific user segments. A targeted deployment typically costs 85 to 90% less while delivering identical security outcomes.
Purchasing Plan 2 without a Tunnel for MAM requirement: Plan 2's primary unique capability is Microsoft Tunnel for MAM (VPN for unenrolled devices). Organisations that are fully cloud-native, with no on-premises applications requiring VPN access, gain minimal value from Plan 2. If BYOD users access only cloud services (M365, SaaS applications), Plan 1 MAM provides complete app protection without Plan 2.
Buying Remote Help when existing tools suffice: Many organisations already have remote support solutions (TeamViewer, ConnectWise ScreenConnect, BeyondTrust) under existing contracts. Purchasing Remote Help without evaluating whether the existing tool can be retired creates duplicate costs.
Not leveraging EPM to reduce local admin accounts: The opposite mistake: under-investing by not purchasing EPM when it would deliver significant security and operational value. Organisations that grant local admin rights because removing them creates too many helpdesk tickets should evaluate EPM. The EPM add-on (~$3/user/month) may cost less than the security risk and helpdesk burden of widespread local admin accounts.
Ignoring EMS E3/E5 overlap: Organisations with both M365 E3/E5 and EMS E3/E5 sometimes purchase Intune separately without recognising that Plan 1 is already included in both. Cross-reference all Microsoft licences before purchasing any Intune subscription.
Not activating Defender for Endpoint integration: Intune Plan 1 integrates deeply with Microsoft Defender for Endpoint (included in M365 E5) for threat-based conditional access and device risk scoring. Organisations on M365 E5 that have not activated this integration are missing a significant security capability that is already licensed.
The Enterprise Agreement is the optimal vehicle for Intune premium licensing because it provides volume pricing, bundling opportunities with M365, and the negotiation leverage to secure favourable terms on add-ons that are not discountable through CSP or MCA channels.
1. Negotiate Intune add-ons as part of the M365 E5 upsell. If the organisation is moving from M365 E3 to E5 (or renewing E5), use the E5 commitment as leverage for Intune add-on pricing. Microsoft account teams are incentivised to close E5 deals. Conditioning the E5 commitment on favourable Intune add-on pricing (EPM, Remote Help, Suite) at 15 to 25% below list price is a common and effective negotiation tactic.
2. Purchase add-ons only for the user segments that need them. Unlike M365 E3/E5 (which is typically deployed organisation-wide), Intune add-ons can and should be deployed to specific user populations. Negotiate per-segment pricing in the EA: EPM for 500 desktop users, Remote Help for 200 helpdesk technicians, Plan 2 for 2,000 BYOD users, Suite for 150 IT administrators. This approach is more complex than a single Suite commitment but typically saves 70 to 85% versus universal deployment.
3. Evaluate the Suite break-even for each user segment. For each user segment, calculate whether individual add-ons or the Suite is more cost-effective. The Suite (~$10/user/month) includes all premium capabilities. If a user segment needs three or more add-ons (combined a la carte cost exceeding ~$9 to $10/month), the Suite is cheaper. If a segment needs only one or two add-ons, a la carte is cheaper. Perform this calculation for each user segment.
4. Secure flexibility for mid-term expansion. Intune premium adoption often expands during the EA term as organisations discover additional use cases. Negotiate the right to add Intune add-ons or Suite licences mid-term at the EA-negotiated price (not list price), convert between individual add-ons and the Suite as requirements evolve, and extend add-on coverage to additional user segments without renegotiating the EA.
Intune does not operate in isolation. It integrates with Entra ID, Microsoft Defender for Endpoint, Microsoft Purview, and Conditional Access to form a unified zero-trust security architecture. Understanding these integrations affects both the Intune licensing decision and the broader M365 security investment.
Intune + Defender for Endpoint: Intune Plan 1 integrates with Defender for Endpoint to enable threat-based conditional access: devices flagged as high-risk by Defender are automatically blocked from accessing corporate resources via Intune compliance policies. This integration is included in M365 E5 (which includes both Intune Plan 1 and Defender P2) at no additional cost. This Intune-Defender combination is one of the highest-value security capabilities in the M365 stack, and it requires no Intune premium licensing.
Intune + Entra ID Conditional Access: Intune compliance data feeds directly into Entra ID Conditional Access policies, enabling device-state-based access control: only devices that meet Intune compliance requirements (encrypted, up-to-date, not jailbroken) can access corporate applications. This is the foundation of zero-trust device security and is fully available in Plan 1 with Entra ID P1 (included in M365 E3). No Intune premium licensing is required. See our Entra ID Licensing Guide.
Intune + Microsoft Purview: Intune device compliance data integrates with Microsoft Purview for data loss prevention (DLP) and information protection. Sensitive data policies can be conditioned on device management state, for example, blocking downloads of sensitive documents to unmanaged devices. This integration extends the organisation's data protection posture without requiring Intune premium licensing.
Intune licensing sits within the broader M365 security stack, and optimisation requires understanding not just Intune's tiers but how they interact with M365 plans, EMS bundles, Defender licensing, and EA negotiation dynamics.
User segmentation and tier optimisation: Redress Compliance conducts Intune licensing assessments that segment the user population by device type, enrolment model (MDM vs MAM/BYOD), security requirements, and operational needs. We identify which users are fully served by Plan 1 (typically 80 to 90% of the population), which need specific add-ons, and which justify the Suite. Our assessments typically reduce Intune premium spend by 70 to 85% versus the universal deployment model Microsoft promotes.
EA negotiation and bundling strategy: We integrate Intune licensing into the broader EA negotiation, linking Intune add-on pricing to M365 E5 commitments, Defender investments, and overall EA value. Our EA negotiation support achieves 15 to 25% below-list pricing on Intune add-ons and Suite subscriptions while securing flexibility provisions that protect against mid-term expansion at standard rates.
Complete vendor independence: Redress Compliance has no Microsoft partnership, no CSP revenue, and no incentive to recommend specific Intune tiers. Our assessment identifies whether the organisation's security requirements are best served by Intune premium features, third-party alternatives (VMware Workspace ONE, Jamf, CrowdStrike), or deeper adoption of Plan 1 capabilities already included in M365.
"Intune Plan 1 is one of the most valuable capabilities already included in Microsoft 365 E3 and E5, and most organisations use less than 60% of what it offers. Before investing in Plan 2, the Suite, or individual premium add-ons, the highest-impact action is ensuring Plan 1 is fully deployed. Only after Plan 1 is fully utilised should the organisation evaluate which specific user segments genuinely need premium capabilities, and the answer is almost always a targeted deployment of specific add-ons for 10 to 20% of the user population, not an organisation-wide Suite commitment."
Yes. Intune Plan 1 is fully included in Microsoft 365 E3 at no additional cost. Plan 1 provides the complete core endpoint management platform: MDM for all major operating systems (Windows, macOS, iOS, Android), MAM for app-level data protection, compliance policies, conditional access integration, Windows Autopilot, application deployment, configuration profiles, security baselines, and basic endpoint analytics. For most organisations, Plan 1 covers 100% of their device management requirements. Plan 2 and the Intune Suite are separate add-on purchases for advanced capabilities.
Plan 1 (included in M365 E3/E5) covers the full core endpoint management platform: MDM, MAM, compliance, Autopilot, security baselines, app deployment, and Microsoft Tunnel for enrolled devices. Plan 2 (~$4/user/month add-on) adds Microsoft Tunnel for MAM (VPN for managed apps on unenrolled BYOD devices) and specialised device management capabilities. The primary reason to purchase Plan 2 is Tunnel for MAM. If your BYOD users need VPN access to on-premises resources without device enrolment, Plan 2 is required. Organisations that are fully cloud-native typically do not need Plan 2.
The Intune Suite (~$10/user/month) bundles Plan 2 with all individual premium add-ons: Endpoint Privilege Management, Remote Help, Advanced Analytics, Enterprise Application Management, Firmware-over-the-Air, and Microsoft Cloud PKI. The Suite is cost-effective when a user segment needs three or more premium capabilities (combined a la carte cost would exceed ~$9 to $10/month). For users needing only one or two capabilities, purchasing individual add-ons is cheaper. The Suite should be deployed to targeted user segments (typically IT administrators), not organisation-wide.
Only if your BYOD users need VPN access to on-premises resources. Plan 1 MAM provides complete app-level data protection for BYOD devices without enrolment, preventing data leakage, requiring authentication, and enabling selective wipe of corporate data. Plan 2 adds Tunnel for MAM, which provides VPN connectivity for managed apps on unenrolled devices. If your BYOD users access only cloud services (Microsoft 365, SaaS applications) and do not need to reach on-premises servers or applications, Plan 1 MAM is sufficient and Plan 2 is unnecessary.
EPM allows standard users (without local admin rights) to perform specific elevated tasks, such as installing approved applications, running certain executables, or configuring specific settings, without granting full administrator access. IT defines elevation rules that control which tasks can be elevated and under what conditions. EPM is available as an individual add-on (~$3/user/month) or included in the Intune Suite. EPM is most valuable for organisations that currently grant local admin rights because removing them creates too many helpdesk tickets. The add-on cost may be less than the security risk and helpdesk burden of widespread local admin accounts.
Segment users by actual need rather than deploying premium tiers universally. Present Microsoft with a data-backed requirement: Plan 1 for all users (included in M365), EPM add-on for X users, Plan 2 for Y BYOD users, Suite for Z IT administrators. Negotiate each segment independently. Link Intune add-on pricing to your broader M365 commitment (E5 upsell, Defender investment) for leverage. Secure 15 to 25% below-list pricing on add-ons, mid-term expansion rights at EA prices, and conversion flexibility between individual add-ons and the Suite. See our Contract Negotiation Service.
Calculate the break-even for each user segment. The Suite costs approximately $10/user/month and includes all premium capabilities. Individual add-ons range from $2 to $4 each. If a user segment needs three or more add-ons with a combined a la carte cost exceeding approximately $9 to $10/month, the Suite is cheaper. If a segment needs only one add-on (most common: EPM alone or Remote Help alone), the individual add-on saves 60 to 70% versus the Suite. Most organisations optimise by deploying the Suite to IT administrators and individual add-ons to other segments.
Redress Compliance delivers independent Intune licensing assessments: user segmentation, Plan 1 vs Plan 2 vs Suite analysis, add-on break-even calculations, EA negotiation support, and integration with your broader M365 security investment. We reduce Intune premium spend by 70 to 85% versus universal deployment while maintaining full security coverage.
