Level vs Intune

Microsoft Intune is policy, compliance, and identity. Level is real-time endpoint ops: instant visibility, live scripts, and built-in remote across Windows, macOS, and Linux.

First 10 devices free. No contracts.

Teams are adding Level next to Intune. Here is what changed once they had real-time control.

“Intune kept our devices compliant, but we were still waiting on it to see what was happening right now. With Level we run a script live and watch it land across the fleet in seconds.”

Rachel Stein

Systems Administrator, Halden Group


“We kept Intune for identity and policy and put Level on top for day-to-day ops. Remote sessions, patch runs, and our Linux boxes all live in one console now.”

Three places Level pulls ahead. These are the real-time ops gaps teams fill beside Intune.

Visual

See device state as it changes

Live inventory updates the moment something shifts, so you act on what is true now, not the last check-in.

Visual

Run scripts live, not on a delay

Trigger PowerShell, Bash, and Python across tagged devices and watch each run land, every result logged.

Visual

Remote control in the console

Start an in-browser session from the device list and run background commands, with no extra add-on to license.

Add Level beside Intune, one group at a time. Keep Intune for policy and identity while Level runs day-to-day ops.

Enroll 10 to 20 devices with a scripted agent install. The first 10 are free.

Check live visibility, start a remote session, run a script, apply a patch, and set one alert.

Roll Level out to more sites in phases, and keep Intune handling configuration and compliance.

A lean team, a large fleet. This is what small-team leverage looks like on Level.

Questions teams ask before adding Level. Here is how Level and Microsoft Intune fit together.

Does Level replace Microsoft Intune?

It does not have to. Intune is strong at configuration, compliance, and identity in the Microsoft ecosystem. Level adds real-time ops on top: live visibility, script execution, and built-in remote. Most teams run both.

Can I run Level alongside Intune while I evaluate?

Yes. Install Level on a subset of devices and keep Intune managing policy and identity. There is nothing to rip out to try it.

What does Level do that Intune does not?

Level gives you live device state instead of waiting on a check-in, runs PowerShell, Bash, and Python across tagged devices on demand, and includes remote sessions in the console with no separate add-on.

What operating systems and remote workflows are supported?

Windows, macOS, and Linux for core RMM workflows, with in-browser remote sessions and background commands. Feature coverage can vary by OS.

How fast can I test Level with my own devices?

Enroll a handful with a scripted agent install and validate live visibility, remote access, patching, and a script the same day. The first 10 devices are free.

How does Level's pricing work?

Level uses transparent per-device pricing with no contract, and the first 10 devices are free. See the pricing page for the rate, separate from your Microsoft licensing.
