Why Devicie
Compare approaches to continuous Intune management
Devicie brings supported application maintenance, managed-policy correction and device reporting together around the Intune you already own. Build on existing configuration and reduce the packaging, policy upkeep and reporting work your team carries. Compare actual workflows, customer responsibilities and total cost to see where that broader scope earns its place.
Buyer criteria
Ask every option the same questions
Evaluate each approach against your applications, configuration requirements and operating responsibilities. Examine what it supports today, how it handles the next release or policy change, and who maintains the process over time.
| Criterion | Buyer question |
|---|---|
| Application coverage | Does it support the applications and operating systems you need? |
| Specialized applications | How are applications outside the catalog packaged and maintained? |
| Recurring updates | Who prepares, tests, approves and deploys subsequent releases? |
| Configuration management | Which policies are maintained, and how are drift and intentional changes handled? |
| Reporting | What do the results establish, and what requires further investigation? |
| Ongoing ownership | Who owns the recurring work after deployment? |
Make the case
Compare building with ongoing ownership
Your team can build automation. Include the maintenance, testing, reporting and handover that keep it useful as applications and requirements change. Compare that responsibility with the supported work Devicie takes on over the same period.
Build vs. buy →Build a consolidation case you can verify
Map your tools and scripts to the work they perform. Establish which responsibilities Devicie can take on, what must remain and when a retirement becomes possible. Include subscription, transition and retained operating costs. Separate license savings from staff capacity released.
Consolidation business case →Alternatives
Apply the same criteria to every option
Use the criteria above for Devicie, Microsoft's own application capability and any specialist application tool you are shortlisting.
Evaluate Enterprise App Management against your requirements
Compare the current Microsoft application capability against your application, configuration and reporting requirements. Include the Microsoft licensing you already hold and the customer effort each approach requires.
Evaluate a specialist application tool against your requirements
Evaluate the same applications, specialized installers, device platforms and reporting needs. Include managed configuration where it is part of your decision, and compare the actual products in each proposal.
After adoption
Review value after adoption
Application releases and configuration changes keep creating work after onboarding. Track what Devicie continues to maintain, the corrections your team reviews and the effort that remains.
The same measures should inform the original purchase and renewal: supported coverage, completed work, reported outcomes and cost. Broader capabilities add value where they address real requirements in your environment.
See the work before making the case
Choose an application, an installer your team owns and a managed policy. Review the supported workflows and define the measures that would make a purchasing decision clear.
