- Seamless User Experience: Users can access resources without repeatedly entering credentials, improving productivity.
- Compliance: Helps meet regulatory requirements by ensuring secure access to corporate resources.
- Centralized Management: Intune allows for centralized deployment and management of certificates, simplifying administration.
Drawbacks
- Complex Setup: Initial configuration, especially for on-premises components like NDES, can be complex and time-consuming.
- Maintenance: Ongoing maintenance of the certificate infrastructure is required to ensure continued security and functionality.
- Compatibility Issues: Potential compatibility issues with older devices or applications that may not fully support certificate-based authentication.
