I'm exploring the use of CrowdStrike Falcon Fusion to automate the deployment of Office 365 on endpoints in my organization. My goal is to eliminate manual installation processes and manage everything through a Falcon Fusion workflow to ensure efficiency and scale across the board.
Here's a high-level overview of my current workflow: once an endpoint meets specific criteria, such as being part of a designated group, I plan to trigger a Falcon Fusion workflow that initiates the Office 365 installation remotely on that device.
However, I'm starting to doubt whether Falcon Fusion is the right tool for this purpose, as it seems more oriented towards detection and response workflows rather than software deployment. I'm also facing challenges with the workflow's conditional logic, identifying target hosts accurately, and ensuring reliable execution of scripts/actions at scale.
I'm keen to know if Falcon Fusion is indeed a good fit for deploying software like Office 365, and if anyone has successfully used it for this purpose in their production environment. Any advice or shared experiences would be greatly appreciated!

From what I've seen, Falcon Fusion isn't built for software deployment. It's more about threat detection and response. You might want to look into a dedicated device management platform for something like this.
I get that, but since we're freshly implemented, I want to maximize its capabilities. Any suggestions on alternatives that don't involve getting Intune licenses? We need to deploy to around 500 endpoints.
