Compare: Microsoft 365 management
Inforcer alternative: Tenvara
Inforcer helps MSPs standardise Microsoft 365 by deploying their own policy baselines to every customer tenant, alerting on drift and backing policies up. Tenvara takes a different angle: it checks every tenant against one fixed security baseline, fixes many findings in a click, and runs the everyday user and licence work next to your tickets, devices and billing. If deep policy baselines across Intune, Defender and Purview are what you sell, Inforcer goes further there.
