Pckgr’s Private Repository is a premium feature that provides a controlled, stable, and reliable way to deploy applications. Unlike Winget, 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.
Premium Reliability By eliminating dependencies on public repositories, the Private Repository offers predictable, stable deployments.
No External Dependencies:
Applications are hosted by Pckgr, meaning vendor URL changes will not affect deployments.
No dependency applications.
Increased Stability: Unlike Winget, which pulls from third-party sources, Private Repository applications are stored internally, preventing deployment failures due to missing or broken URLs.
Optimized for Microsoft Intune: Supports Microsoft Delivery Optimization, reducing bandwidth usage in large deployments.
Diverse Application Library: Continuously expanding to include both widely used business tools and niche applications.
Integration with Autopilot ESP: include your ESP profile page in your application updating processes for effiiciency.
Greater Control Over Updates:
Assign a Pilot Group for testing updates before full rollout.
