Microsoft Intune Advanced Analytics delivers deep, actionable insights into the health and performance of your organization's endpoints. Built on the foundation of endpoint analytics, it helps IT teams proactively manage user experience and optimize productivity through data-driven intelligence. By turning raw telemetry into meaningful insights, Advanced Analytics reduces support costs, accelerates problem resolution, and ensures a more reliable technology experience for every user.
Availble reports and capabilities
Advanced Analytics enhances endpoint analytics with the following reports and capabilities:
Resource performance report
Identifies CPU and RAM performance issues by device, model, and manufacturer to guide purchasing decisions.
Battery health report
Monitors battery health for Windows devices to ensure long battery life and a better user experience.
Anomalies report
Tracks device health for regressions in user experience and productivity after configuration changes.
Device timeline report
Shows detailed events with low latency to help troubleshoot device issues quickly.
Device query
Provides near real-time data about the state and configuration of Windows devices.
Device query for multiple devices
Allows you to run queries directly in Intune to retrieve inventory data across multiple devices and platforms.
Device scopes
Allows you to use scope tags to filter reports for a subset of devices. See scores, insights, and recommendations specific to those devices.
Prerequisites
To use Advanced Analytics features, devices must meet the endpoint analytics prerequisites and you must configure endpoint analytics in your tenant.
This section details additional prerequisites specific to Advanced Analytics. Certain features may have their own additional prerequisites; see the individual feature articles for more information.
Cloud requirements
- Public cloud
- Sovereign cloud environments:
- U.S. Government Community Cloud (GCC) High
- U.S. Department of Defense (DoD)
Note
Support for Advanced Analytics in DoD environments doesn't include the Device query functionality or the Resource performance report. For more information, see Microsoft Intune for US Government GCC service description.
Device configuration requirements
Advanced Analytics features support Windows devices that are:
- Managed by Intune
- Co-managed (Intune + Configuration Manager)
- Microsoft Entra joined
- Microsoft Entra hybrid joined
Licensing requirements
Advanced Analytics features are included in Microsoft Intune Suite. The capabilities are also available as an individual add-on to Microsoft subscriptions that include Intune.
Mixed licensing scenarios: A mixed licensing scenario occurs when some users in your tenant have access to Advanced Analytics through an add-on subscription or trial, while others only have access to the base endpoint analytics product. In these cases, the subscription with the highest level of functionality determines the overall endpoint analytics experience for your tenant. For example, if any users have Advanced Analytics, all enrolled devices will benefit from the advanced features.
Get started with Advanced Analytics
Before deploying Advanced Analytics, complete these foundational tasks:
- Assess your organization's privacy and compliance requirements for device data. Review the Intune data platform schema to understand which data is captured.
- Define escalation and support procedures for handling analytics findings.
- Train staff on IT processes you plan to optimize, such as help desk triage, hardware refresh cycles, and app updates. Treat this as a continuous improvement cycle for faster and more proactive issue resolution.
Enable Advanced Analytics
When license requirements are met, then Advanced Analytics capabilities are automatically enabled in your tenant.
Note
It might take up to 48 hours after you buy licenses or start a trial to see Advanced Analytics features in your tenant.
For the extra reports and capabilities on Windows devices:
- Devices must to be enrolled into Intune and onboarded to endpoint analytics.
- Device query for multiple devices requires a properties catalog policy to be configured and deployed.
Advanced Analytics in the Intune admin center
Advanced Analytics is built into Microsoft Intune and appears in the Reports > Endpoint analytics section, as well as other areas of the Intune admin center. When enabled, it adds the following enhancements:
- Endpoint analytics reports are extended with:
- Single device views are extended with:
- Additional capabilities:
- Device query for multiple devices under the Devices node in the Intune admin center
Integrate Advanced Analytics into business processes
After completing the setup tasks, follow these steps to embed Advanced Analytics into daily operations:
- Update support processes to:
- Use the device timeline report to identify patterns, such as restarts or updates linked to anomalies.
- Use device query to retrieve live device data for troubleshooting.
- Use device query for multiple devices to gain insights across your entire device fleet.
- Schedule regular reviews of:
- Anomalies reports after OS or app updates to catch issues early.
- Battery health reports to identify devices needing attention for better performance and user experience.
- Resource performance reports to track performance by device, model, and manufacturer—helpful for future purchasing decisions.
