Overview​

Benefits​

  1. Ease of Deployment: Web apps are easier to deploy compared to native apps since they don't require installation. Intune creates a shortcut to the web app on the user's device.
  2. Cross-Platform Compatibility: Web apps can be accessed from any device with a browser, ensuring flexibility and ease of access.
  3. Centralized Management: Administrators can manage web app deployment from a single console, simplifying the process.

Drawbacks​

  1. Dependency on Internet: Web apps require a stable internet connection, which might not always be available.
  2. Limited Functionality: Web apps might not offer the same level of functionality or performance as native apps.
  3. Browser Compatibility: Ensuring compatibility across different browsers can be challenging.

Impact on End Users​
