What is Microsoft Intune?
Microsoft Intune is the cloud endpoint management service from Microsoft that enrols, configures, secures, and retires Windows, Android, iOS, and macOS devices from one console, and it is the engine behind Windows Autopilot zero-touch provisioning. The console is the lever. The agent on each device is just the reach. Intune ships inside Microsoft 365 E3, E5, and Business Premium, so most Indian businesses already own the licence before they ever switch it on. Read the capability map on the official Microsoft Intune documentation.
The buying decision usually splits three ways: Intune Plan 1 for core mobile device and app management, the Intune Suite when an estate needs Endpoint Privilege Management and Remote Help, and a managed Microsoft Intune retainer where Sirius Star runs Autopilot, the compliance baselines, and the quarterly posture review. Every option keeps the same DPDP-aligned audit trail and stores device metadata in the India region per the Ministry of Electronics and IT framework and CERT-In guidance. The free 24-hour review tells you which mix fits your estate.

Layered with Microsoft Defender for the endpoint risk signal feeding compliance.

Is Microsoft Intune the right fit for your device estate?
Microsoft Intune from Sirius Star Enterprise Technologies is a cloud device management deployment, Windows Autopilot enrolment, compliance-policy, and managed-operations service for Indian businesses running 25 to 5,000 devices, delivered from Vashi, Navi Mumbai with a 24-hour device review, same-week Autopilot pilot, cross-OS policy rollout, and a quarterly managed Intune retainer.
You are the right buyer if:
- 25-plus laptops and phones outgrowing manual setup and spreadsheet tracking
- Already paying for Microsoft 365 E3, E5, or Business Premium
- Mixed Windows, Android, iOS, and macOS estate under one IT lead
- A DPDP or cyber-insurance mandate now asks for proof of device compliance
- New joiners wait days for a configured laptop instead of minutes
- You want Conditional Access tied to device health, not just passwords
If you run fewer than 25 devices on a single OS with no compliance mandate, the built-in management inside Microsoft 365 Business Premium may cover you without a managed retainer. If your estate is Apple-only with deep macOS customisation, Jamf may fit better. We will tell you so in the review.
Microsoft Intune vs Jamf vs Scalefusion vs Workspace ONE, honest call
Intune wins every estate already standardised on Microsoft 365 and Entra ID, because the licence is usually already paid for and the Conditional Access and Defender wiring is native; see the Intune product page. Jamf wins Apple-only estates that need deep macOS and iOS customisation. Scalefusion wins kiosk, rugged, and single-purpose Android at the edge. VMware Workspace ONE wins very large heterogeneous estates with deep VMware investment already in place. The honest call lands in the readiness review, not in a brochure. Pair the managed retainer with Secure Data Guard for the DPDP DLP layer over the data those devices touch, and feed device health into Microsoft Sentinel for the SOC view.
Microsoft Intune FAQ for Indian businesses
What is Microsoft Intune and what does it manage?
Microsoft Intune is the cloud endpoint management service from Microsoft that enrols, configures, secures, and retires devices from one console. Microsoft Intune manages Windows laptops, Android phones, iPhones and iPads, and macOS devices, pushing compliance policies, app deployments, configuration profiles, and remote wipe across all of them.

What does Microsoft Intune cost in India in 2026?
Microsoft Intune Plan 1 is included in Microsoft 365 E3, E5, and Business Premium at no extra cost. Bought standalone, Microsoft Intune Plan 1 lands around INR 240 per user per month. The Microsoft Intune Suite, which adds Endpoint Privilege Management, Remote Help, advanced analytics, and Enterprise App Management, runs around INR 840 per user per month as an add-on. A Sirius Star managed Microsoft Intune operations retainer for a mid-size Indian estate lands around INR 22,500 per tenant per month including Autopilot, policy upkeep, and quarterly posture reviews. The free review checks whether you already own Intune inside an existing Microsoft 365 licence.
Microsoft Intune vs Jamf vs Scalefusion vs Workspace ONE, which fits an Indian estate?
Pick Microsoft Intune when the estate already runs on Microsoft 365 and Entra ID, because the licence is usually already paid for and the Conditional Access and Defender wiring is native. Pick Jamf when the estate is Apple-only and needs deep macOS and iOS customisation. Pick Scalefusion when the use case is kiosk, rugged, or single-purpose Android at the edge. Pick VMware Workspace ONE when a very large heterogeneous estate already has deep VMware investment. For most Indian SMEs and mid-market firms standardised on Microsoft, Microsoft Intune is the lowest total cost because the engine ships inside the M365 licence.
How long does a Microsoft Intune rollout take in India?
A Microsoft Intune rollout from Sirius Star starts with a free 24-hour device review, then a pilot ring of 10 to 25 devices inside the first week. A 200 to 500 device estate reaches full Microsoft Intune enrolment, compliance policy, and Windows Autopilot zero-touch provisioning in four to eight business weeks depending on OS mix and app packaging. Microsoft Intune stores device-management metadata in the India region inside Microsoft India datacentres in Mumbai and Pune, which keeps the deployment DPDP-aligned from day one.
