Microsoft Ignite is the premier event for modern IT, and this year, ControlUp is demonstrating how to turn your biggest Microsoft management challenges—from Cloud PC cost overruns to Teams call quality issues—into automated wins.
We don’t just “monitor” your Microsoft environment; we provide real-time observability and powerful automation to optimize performance, enhance security, and guarantee an exceptional digital employee experience (DEX) across your entire stack.
Stop by our booth for a personalized demo of these five powerful capabilities:
1. Migration Automation to Windows 365
Organizations have been asking for simplicity and efficiency and Microsoft’s Windows 365 Cloud PC offering provides both for organizations. For IT, Cloud PC makes it easy to scale and deploy desktops quickly and easily with minimal effort.
The Demo: Migrate existing Azure Virtual Desktop personal desktop images to Windows 365 automagically!
The Feature: Point and click migrations your existing Azure Virtual Desktop personal desktops to Windows 365.
The Benefit: Automatic, point-and-click simplification of migrating existing Azure Virtual Desktop images, enabling organizations to achieve greater simplicity and efficiency by rapidly adopting Windows 365 Cloud PCs.
2. Intelligent Cost Optimization for Windows 365 & Azure Virtual Desktops
Managing a Cloud PC environment like Windows 365 or Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD) means balancing performance with Azure consumption costs. ControlUp gives you the hard data you need to be efficient.
The Demo: We will show you real-time cost metrics and resource utilization across your host pools.
The Feature: Intelligent Rightsizing. ControlUp provides evidence-based sizing recommendations, showing you, exactly which Cloud PCs are consistently over-provisioned. You can use this data to confidently downsize machines, saving significant Azure spend without impacting end-user performance.
Insight: Beyond just monitoring, we provide proactive health and availability testing to ensure your Cloud PCs are running reliably and at the most efficient scale.

IT professionals spend too much time toggling between different consoles to gather data and fix an issue. ControlUp Enrich eliminates this context switching by embedding real-time DEX data and remote actions directly into the Microsoft Intune admin portal.
The Demo: Watch us troubleshoot a slow Intune-managed endpoint without ever leaving the Intune device details page.
The Feature: The ControlUp Enrich browser extension pops up with a unified, real-time view of the device’s CPU, RAM, disk I/O, event logs, and active processes.
The Action: From this overlay, you can execute built-in troubleshooting actions—like clearing a local cache, restarting a hung service, or even launching a Remote Shell—all while staying within the familiar Intune interface.

4. Automated, Real-Time Patching via Intune Integration
Vulnerability management and compliance reporting are critical but often slow. ControlUp speeds up the process by combining real-time risk detection with your existing Intune deployment tools.
The Demo: See how ControlUp can detect vulnerabilities on endpoints in real-time and automatically route remediations to Microsoft Intune
The Feature:ControlUp for Compliance automatically detects missing application patches (e.g., outdated Adobe Reader or Chrome) and misconfigurations. Instead of deploying the patch itself, ControlUp communicates with Intune, which is designated to handle application delivery.
The Workflow: ControlUp triggers the creation of a temporary application and a targeted device group in Intune, ensuring only the non-compliant devices receive the fix. This provides an auditable, automated, and policy-driven patching process that leverages your existing Microsoft infrastructure.

5. Pinpoint Precision for Microsoft Teams Quality
Poor audio, dropped calls, or lagging video conferencing can derail a workday. ControlUp provides the granular metrics needed to isolate the root cause, whether it’s the network, the endpoint, or the application itself.
The Demo: We’ll show the Unified Communications Monitoring dashboard, highlighting a low-quality call.
The Feature: ControlUp gives you per-session visibility into audio, video, and screen-sharing quality. You can drill down to view live data on network conditions (latency, jitter, packet loss) and the local device performance (CPU/RAM usage) at the exact moment the disruption occurred.
The Benefit: Quickly determine if a user’s slow laptop, low Wi-Fi signal, or an ISP issue is to blame. Built-in remediation scripts can even be deployed to clear the Teams cache or address device-level problems with a single click.

The future of IT management isn’t just about monitoring; it’s about automation, optimization, and real-time precision.
The five demos listed above are your blueprint for:
Reclaiming hours lost to manual troubleshooting
Saving thousands in unnecessary Cloud PC costs
Guaranteeing an exceptional digital experience for every user
Stop by the ControlUp Booth 5545 to experience our real-time observability and automation platform in action. You’ll meet with our solution architects and get a custom roadmap for how our platform can integrate with your specific Intune and Windows 365 environment.
