Adopting an MDM solution for your business is a massive task that requires careful planning. An even bigger task is migrating to a new MDM platform. Most businesses migrate to a new solution when their existing one cannot align with the organizational requirements. If you are someone who uses Microsoft Intune to manage your endpoints and looking to make a switch, this article is for you.
Intune is Microsoft’s enterprise mobility management (EMM) tool that simplifies app and device management for organizations and enables secure access to business resources and data. MS Intune is a strong and feature-rich MDM solution but is equally complex. Most businesses spend an enormous time in training and deployment of Intune.
MDM software lowers the administrative burden on the IT staff. A complicated platform that has a large learning curve defeats the purpose of the tool, which is simplicity. Several MS Intune users have been frequently seeking help in understanding the migration process to Scalefusion MDM.

MDM migration can be a confusing and tedious-looking phase. The first part of your MDM migration plan is to have a pre-migration checklist to assess your organizational status quo and to enlist what you need in your new MDM platform.
Pick an enrollment method of your choice from the diverse bulk enrollment options provided by Scalefusion. You can choose an enrollment option based on the number of devices or OS types. Scalefusion offers easy out-of-the-box (OOB) enrollment options to streamline and accelerate your migration process.
Your post-migration check should ensure that all your inventory is successfully unenrolled from Intune and is now Scalefusion managed. Company IT admins must run checks on whether all Microsoft Intune services are unsubscribed and whether the new Scalefusion-enabled policies are running smoothly on all devices. We recommend gathering detailed feedback from your IT team to ensure that there are no hurdles in the implementation process. You can easily reach out to Scalefusion product specialists to gain quick assistance with any step.
Scalefusion MDM is known for its ease of use and comprehensive feature set. Migrating from your MDM solution can seem tedious, especially if your IT team has grown accustomed to the tool. However, it is always best to weigh the pros and cons of your tools periodically to ensure you use the best of what the market has to offer.
Scalefusion MDM has several key differences that make it a better choice than Intune. Microsoft Intune offers several features that are limited only to Knox devices, such as restrictions on accessing app stores, disabling voice assistants, and leveraging screen control, geofencing, and browser management. Unlike Intune, which only notifies you in the event of a data breach, Scalefusion allows you to disable apps, thereby adding an extra layer of security.
