Endpoint management is a growingly complicated matter as organizations adopt more and more devices and cloud-based solutions. In this vein, Microsoft Intune is a popular platform for managing endpoints.
Microsoft Intune is a cloud-based Unified Endpoint Management, or UEM, platform that allows IT administrators to manage and secure various devices, including PCs, Macs, iOS and Android devices. It provides features such as device enrollment, app management, compliance policies and security settings. Intune is designed to help organizations manage their endpoints efficiently and securely, both on-premises and in the cloud.
However, it can be challenging to use effectively without the right tools.
Therefore, Recast Software, a provider of IT and security management solutions, launched several new capabilities designed to enhance Microsoft Intune. These tools aim to streamline endpoint management for IT teams and support the modern workplace vision and advancing Unified Endpoint Management, or UEM.
A key addition is the integration of Recast Software’s popular Right Click Tools into Microsoft Intune. With over 60 million endpoints already supported by Right Click Tools, IT administrators can now access a familiar and powerful set of tools directly within the Intune interface. This browser add-on allows users to execute the same menu of features previously available only in Configuration Manager, directly from their Intune-managed devices.
With Right Click Tools for Intune, tasks like device management, Kiosk Manager, and Recast Automation are more accessible. This integration provides the same powerful device management features users have come to rely on, now extended to Intune’s cloud-based environment.
Recast Software also unveiled the Recast Copilot for Security plugin, a powerful AI-driven tool that integrates seamlessly with Microsoft’s Copilot for Security. This plugin provides IT administrators with advanced, actionable insights tailored to their specific environments, which makes endpoint management more efficient and secure. Using data collected by Recast Software, IT teams receive instant, informed responses to key security queries. This enhances their ability to protect and manage devices.
In addition, Recast Software has brought the same powerful application patching capabilities within Configuration Manager to Intune with Application Manager for Intune. This tool creates smooth and easy application management across your entire device fleet, from deployment to retirement.
A key advantage of Application Manager is access to our industry-leading catalog of over 2,500 third-party applications. The library allows IT teams to automate software updates and mitigate cybersecurity threats.
"We are dedicated to delivering tools that empower IT teams to streamline management and security across their environments," said Will Teevan, CEO of Recast Software. "With these new capabilities, we're ensuring that IT administrators can confidently manage their environments, whether they are on-premises, cloud-based, or co-managed, contributing to a cohesive Unified Endpoint Management strategy."
As you can see from Teevan’s quote, Recast Software is committed to delivering tools that enhance productivity, security and compliance. The company is in lockstep with Microsoft, continuously developing and rolling out new features to support the evolving needs of IT teams.
