Tired of Wrestling with Intune App Management? There’s a Better Way.

Installing apps shouldn’t be the hardest part of managing Windows devices.

Managing Windows applications with Microsoft Intune is powerful—but let’s be honest, it’s not always efficient. The process can involve multiple tools, repetitive packaging steps, and a lack of automation when it comes to app updates.

That’s exactly why we built the Intune App Integration in SureMDM.

Why The Intune App Management Integration Matters

Organizations using Microsoft Intune for Windows App management often face:

• Manual conversion of .EXE or .MSI files to .intunewin format using complex CLI tools
• Lack of auto-update support for apps, requiring the admin to repeat the same packaging process every time a new version drops
• Difficulty in finding the right app packages from every ISV every time 
• Limitations with regard to the third-party app catalog, with many essentials missing
• Time-consuming configuration steps for every app deployment

SureMDM’s Intune App Integration addresses all of this—by bringing our third-party app catalog directly into your Intune workflow.

What the Integration Does

With SureMDM’s Intune App Integration, you can easily browse and select from over 8,000 popular Windows apps in the Third-Party App Catalog, then deploy them to Intune with a single click. 

SureMDM automatically wraps and converts apps into the required Intune format (.intunewin). Admins have full control to set install/uninstall commands, requirements, detection rules, and more—just like in the native Intune portal. Best of all, auto-updates are supported to keep apps current with no extra effort.

You no longer need to repackage apps for every version update. As soon as a new version is available in our repository, we handle the update and deploy it to your Intune-enrolled devices.

Manual or Auto: You Choose

Some organizations want full control over versioning. We get that. So we offer two update modes:

• Auto Update: The app gets automatically updated to the latest version from our repository and deployed to devices.
• Manual Update: Admins can see a list of available versions and choose which one to deploy.

Either way, the admin no longer has to download installers, convert packages, or upload files manually.

App Management for Windows with SureMDM

Even if you're not using Intune, SureMDM is already a powerful solution for managing Windows apps across your endpoints. Here’s how:

Native Third-Party App Management

SureMDM gives you access to a rich app catalog that includes productivity tools, browsers, VPN clients, communication tools, and more. With just a few clicks, you can push any approved app to your devices.

Seamless Patch Management

Automatically detect and deploy Windows OS updates and third-party app patches across all devices. Stay compliant and secure without manual intervention.

One-Click App Approval and Distribution

Want to standardize your app ecosystem? Easily pre-approve applications and push them to devices during onboarding or on demand. Apps are available directly inside the SureMDM Agent, so end users can install them without IT tickets or confusion.

Better Control, Better Visibility

From app versions to deployment status and update history, you get a centralized view of everything. This makes it easy to troubleshoot, report, and act—no hopping between portals.

Already managing apps with SureMDM? Now extend that ease and automation to your Intune-managed devices, too.

Why Not Just Use SureMDM for Everything?

Good question. The truth is, many organizations have already invested in Intune for managing Windows devices. Our goal isn’t to replace Intune—but to enhance it.

This integration allows those customers to continue using Intune for endpoint management while offloading the complexity of application lifecycle management to SureMDM.

It’s a win-win: easy automation, better control, and faster deployments.

You can use the Intune App Integration feature even if your devices aren’t managed through Intune. But managing all devices with SureMDM gives you a much higher ROI, since this feature, along with many others unique to SureMDM, offers extra value that other MDMs may not provide.

Final Thoughts

Whether you’re managing Windows apps via Intune or directly through SureMDM, our goal is to give IT admins their time back—while boosting control, visibility, and security.

From patching to packaging to policy enforcement, SureMDM helps streamline the lifecycle of every app on your Windows devices.
