Minutes to configure, with no infrastructure to build

Tenant configuration and device enrolment before anything is managed

Scan and patch over the same agentless channel, with nothing installed on the endpoint

Not offered. Devices must be enrolled and running the management extension.

Scanning, patching, configuration audit and remote access in one console

Patching sits in Intune, vulnerability data in Defender, and remote access in a separate add-on

SaaS and on-premises, with fully air-gapped support

Cloud-only. There is no on-premises deployment.

Servers, desktops, virtual machines, network devices and cloud workloads, on-premises and in the cloud

Enrolled endpoints and mobile devices only. No servers and no network devices.

Full enterprise platform with software inventory plus kernel and package scanning

None. Intune manages devices and does not scan for vulnerabilities.

Supported

Supported through compliance policies and security baselines

Fully in-built. Patch straight from the vulnerability finding.

Operating system updates are managed natively

1300+ applications, pre-validated before deployment

Limited to apps in Microsoft's own catalog. Anything else is packaged by hand.

Both fully supported, including disconnected and air-gapped sites

Drivers supported, but devices have to be online so disconnected sites are out

Stage, test then deploy, with rollback on any patch

Ring-based deployment groups, but no patch-level rollback

Real-time status for every patch, plus post-patch health checks that flag unresponsive hosts

Update deployment reporting, but no post-patch health check

Custom and predefined policies, software deployment and custom scripts

Policy-driven, though much of it is configured by hand

Agentless access across Windows, Linux and macOS, with file transfer and session recording

Through a separate add-on, with no file transfer or session recording

Syncs users, groups and devices from AD, and every device it finds is ready to scan and patch with nothing to install

Deep directory integration, but a device still has to be enrolled before it can be managed

Summary and in-depth reports in PDF, JSON and CSV, with mitigation and patch mapping

Functional reports, with limited depth and customization

Intuitive interface with a low learning curve

Good interface, but a high learning curve

24x7 support with fully remote onboarding and training

Tiered support

Subscription or perpetual

Subscription only

SecOps Solution delivers the best overall performance: fast scanning, exceptionally low false positives, and patching, configuration audit and remote access in one console. Everything works agentlessly, and the platform runs as SaaS, on-premises or fully air-gapped, on subscription or perpetual licensing.

Intune is device management, not security. It finds no vulnerabilities of its own, only patches third-party apps that Microsoft already lists, covers no servers or network devices, and cannot touch anything that is not enrolled and online.
