By your logic it was my school that wanted us to learn MS products, not Microsoft. Are you sure about that?

Yes, otherwise they wouldn't have bothered with Intune...

I don't get your point, what does Intune have to do with the topic?

The original comment I replied to was talking about Intune, and having to use Company Portal on mobile devices. What are you on about?

Right, back on track. I'm sure a company wouldn't use, and require their employees use a program unless people in charge are already familiar with said product or there was a deal made for them. I don't know where the guy works but I'm sure that's a safe bet, my point is Microsoft is known to make deals with schools/uni to teach only their products instead of alternatives. It's why their products are so used - why learn something new when what you've been taught does the job
