  • As of May 2024, the number of applications has expanded to over 250, some of which are self-updating, but still limited to guided deployments.
  • The update will support organizations by simplifying the process of deploying updates using data from Microsoft's internal app database to ensure seamless installations.
  • Organizations currently using third-party patching solutions should evaluate the costs and benefits of switching to EAM for a more integrated solution with Microsoft Intune.
