What’s New in Augmentt: Intune Management Gets Bigger

Table of Contents

MSPs standardize device security in Microsoft Intune, then spend their time keeping every client tenant in line as Microsoft changes settings, clients add devices, and compliance requirements shift. Augmentt already handled the core of that: configuration, compliance, and deployment profiles, built once and applied per tenant, edited inline without logging into each customer portal.

This release goes further. Here is what is new and what it means for your team.

Deploy apps and scripts across tenants

Most MSPs have a standard stack, a set of approved applications and scripts they deploy to every client environment. In a single-tenant world, that means logging into each portal, finding the right policy, and pushing the deployment manually. Multiply that by the number of clients you support and it becomes one of those tasks that consumes technician hours without adding any visible value to the client or the business.

With this release, the apps and scripts you have packaged can now be deployed across your client tenants directly from Augmentt. You set it up once and push it where it needs to go, without switching between portals. For MSPs managing more tenants than their team can realistically touch by hand, this is the kind of operation that should have always worked this way.

Manage iOS MDM policies across tenants

iOS device management is increasingly part of the conversation with clients, especially those with field teams, executives on iPhones, or any environment where mobile devices touch business data. The problem MSPs run into is the same one they face with every other Intune configuration: policies have to be set per tenant, which means the work scales with the number of clients you have rather than the quality of your process.

iOS MDM policies are now managed in Augmentt alongside your Windows configuration work. You set your policies up once, apply them per tenant, and edit them inline when something needs to change. Mobile device management no longer lives in a separate workflow from the rest of your Intune work, which sounds like a small thing until you are trying to push a policy change across thirty client environments before the end of the day.

Patch management through our Robopack partnership

Patch management is one of the clearest value propositions an MSP can sell. Clients want to know their devices are up to date, and you want to be able to prove it without it consuming your team. The challenge is that doing it well requires reliable packaging and deployment, which is where a lot of in-house patch workflows break down and where the manual cleanup starts.

Through our partnership with Robopack, patch management is now available in Augmentt. Robopack handles application packaging at a level that takes the fragility out of the process, and it is accessible from the same console where you manage the rest of your Intune environment. More of what you run in Intune, including keeping devices current, is handled without leaving the platform.

Device compliance visibility across every tenant

One of the persistent frustrations of managing Intune across multiple clients is that compliance alerts live in each tenant’s portal. If a device falls out of compliance, you find out when you happen to be in that portal, or when the client tells you. Neither is a great position to be in when your pitch to clients is that you are managing their security proactively.

Microsoft’s device-compliance alerts are now surfaced for all your client tenants in a single view inside Augmentt. You see the full compliance picture across your book of business without checking portals one by one, which makes it a lot easier to catch issues before clients do and to report on device health in a way that actually means something to the people paying for the service.

Taken together, more of what MSPs do in Intune on a daily basis is now handled from one console. If you want to see it in action, try it for free today!
