Pckgr’s Private Repository is a premium feature that provides a controlled, stable, and reliable way to deploy applications. Unlike the public Winget Repository, the Private Repository directly hosts and manages application installers on Pckgr’s secure infrastructure.
Private Repository Hosting Pckgr packages and hosts applications on its secure infrastructure, ensuring they are always available for deployment.
Intune Integration Applications function like any other Win32 app in Microsoft Intune, but with fewer external points of failure.
