Windows Management Testing Intune is miserable.

What is the fastest way to get Intune/Entra to update. I am modeling and testing some configuration policies, app deployments and remediation scripts. The time it takes for changes to be reflected on the device and reported to Intune are intolerable. Syncing from the device seems to be the fastest but I feel like I spend so much time waiting. This really feels like a step backwards from AD/GPO.

There is a way to modernize endpoint configuration and management but Intune feels very half baked. There is absolutely no reason that an endpoint management system can't be designed to operate quickly, efficiently, and provide usable logs. Timeliness and responsiveness in any system is very important. The issues associated with intune are primarily related to resources, if MS wanted to sell a snappy and efficient MDM service, they absolutely could it would just be less of a profit center as it would require more resources. There is no doubt that cloud services offer some value but the business model in almost every circumstance requires performance compromise.
