    You can very well use Intune to inventory software on devices, one of the many benefits of Intune. Applies to Windows, macOS, Android and iOS/iPadOS.

    However, there are stills ome limitations. There is a user wish: Inventory of -all- installed software not just the software deployed through Intune or from the Store.

    Sure. You can view the list of installed apps (both managed and unmanaged apps) on the managed devices(Windows and Android). Intune will refresh the apps report every 7 days. By the way, please make sure the ownership of the managed devices in Intune are marked as Corporate, if it's Personal, only managed apps can be listed in the report. For how to change device ownership, please click this link. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/mem/intune/enrollment/corporate-identifiers-add#change-device-ownership

    To view the installed apps for the particular device, you can choose Devices - All devices, click the device, and choose Discovered apps.
