# Pckgr for Intune vs Pckgr Portal
## Overview Pckgr for Intune and Pckgr Portal are two separate products. Both are designed to manage applications and endpoints at scale, and both support environments ranging from small teams to large, multi-tenant organisations. The difference is how they operate. * Pckgr for Intune extends and automates Microsoft Intune * Pckgr Portal is a standalone endpoint management platform *** ## Pckgr for Intune Pckgr for Intune is built for organisations using Microsoft Intune that want a more automated and scalable way to manage applications and endpoints. It provides a complete platform for: * Application packaging and deployment for Windows and macOS * Automated application updates and version management * Managing applications across one or multiple tenants * A security dashboard to identify and remediate vulnerabilities across the fleet * Policy management for controlling application and device behaviour * Custom application onboarding for internal or unsupported apps * Centralised visibility into application health, status, and deployments Pckgr for Intune standardises how applications are created, maintained, and secured within Intune, reducing manual effort and improving consistency across environments. *** ## Pckgr Portal Pckgr Portal is a standalone endpoint management platform that operates independently of Microsoft Intune. It provides a full set of endpoint management capabilities within Pckgr itself, including: * Device management through a dedicated admin portal * Application deployment directly to endpoints * Policy management and configuration control * Script execution across devices * Windows Update management * Remote access to endpoints * Multi-tenant and multi-environment management Pckgr Portal is designed to give teams direct control over their devices, applications, and policies without relying on an external MDM. *** ## Key Difference The core difference is the management layer: * **Pckgr for Intune** works with Microsoft Intune and enhances it with automation, application management, and security tooling * **Pckgr Portal** manages devices directly using the Pckgr platform and agent Both platforms support small and large environments, including multi-tenant setups. The choice is based on how you want to manage your endpoints. *** ## How to choose Choose **Pckgr for Intune** if: * You are using Microsoft Intune * You want to automate application lifecycle management at scale * You want additional visibility, security, and control on top of Intune Choose **Pckgr Portal** if: * You want a standalone endpoint management solution * You prefer managing devices directly without relying on Intune * You want a single platform for device management, applications, policies, and remote access Or you can choose both, if you are an MSP with some clients using Intune and some users without a management framework.
