I provide the customer with the steps to follow, and they follow their scheduling and procedures. I also provide the information to the people involved in the pilot. My role is solely to provide a technical approach. The client decides how to handle communications, reputation management, etc. I provide a technical perspective. The solution’s effectiveness depends on the reliability of the computers and their agents. If the computers are not functioning properly, the agents may not receive policies from the cloud, and patches may not be deployed as expected. The time it takes for policies to reach computers and be executed can vary depending on the specific circumstances. While the cloud component of the solution is consistently reliable, the client-side components can be more unpredictable. They can do their on-premises patching capabilities in Intune if they have a well-established and functioning IT infrastructure. Similarly, implementing a patching solution from Intune is very easy for new organizations starting from scratch. Overall, I rate the solution a seven out of ten.
