Intune Suite Part 3: Advanced Endpoint Analytics

In the third part of this Intune Suite series, I want to give you more insights into advanced endpoint analytics. I am really happy that Intune has gone in the direction of machine learning and anomaly detection. I blogged about these topics a few months ago, discussing how to analyze Intune data with the help of cognitive service anomaly detection. It’s awesome that Intune now includes this out-of-the-box in the tool. Unfortunately, I can’t test this feature in my own tenant because Endpoint analytics requires at least 10 devices, and this is not possible in my test tenant. However, I will cover all elements of the feature in this blog.
