What are the features of application management and control?
The key aspects of application management and control in Endpoint Central include:
- Software Distribution: The distribution of software can be accomplished through two methods: pre-filled templates, which are suitable for most non-commercial software, and the manual package creation flow, which is used for distributing in-house software and commercial software. These methods cater to Windows, Mac, and Linux operating systems.
