A pivotal development in this collaboration is Apple's introduction of Declarative Device Management (DDM). This innovation allows Apple devices to asynchronously apply settings and report status back to the Mobile Device Management (MDM) system. This capability is a significant leap forward for businesses that require a unified management approach across diverse device ecosystems.

The introduction of platform Single Sign-On (SSO) for macOS devices marks a significant advancement in device management for businesses using Microsoft Intune. The development is crucial and may influence many to migrate from JAMF to JAMF to Intune.

Recently, Intune rolled out a feature dedicated to streamlining the management of updates on macOS devices. Officially dubbed “Declarative Devices Management”, the improvement reshapes how macOS devices are kept secure at the hands of Intune administrators.
