What is Microsoft Intune Advanced Analytics?
Microsoft Intune Advanced Analytics is set of analytics-driven capabilities that help IT admins understand, anticipate, and improve the end-user experience. It enables you to proactively detect and resolve endpoint issues, streamline troubleshooting processes, and improve user productivity and performance.
Some of the capabilities of Intune Advanced Analytics are:
- Custom device scopes: You can use scope tags to filter Endpoint analytics reports by a subset of devices, such as devices managed by a specific team, business group, or geographic region.
- Anomaly detection: You can use AI and machine learning to identify and discover meaningful patterns and trends in device and app health, and detect issues before they impact user experience.
- Enhanced device timeline: You can see more events and lower data latency on the device timeline, which helps you troubleshoot device issues faster and easier.
- Device query: You can query the state and configuration of devices in near real time, and get critical information related to performance metrics and configuration details.
- Battery health: You can monitor the battery performance of devices and identify hardware issues that may affect user experience.
