Alternative to Flexera Admin Studio for SCCM Application Packaging?

[1066girl]

We have been trialling the above software and it has been brilliant for packaging apps for SCCM 2012. However, we have just got the pricing through Millgate and its £18k per annum which is way out of our price range.

 

Have anyone else found a more reasonably priced solution? We need to ensure we can use it for App-V, so it is more than a simple MSI packager that we need.

 

Thanks in advance

What? It's £1800 per annum! which for some might still be too expensive, but on large systems it is a god send to have access to proper world class tools with decent technical support who can talk you through those difficult package builds...

Advanced Installer would be worth a look especially if you are converting MSIs to App-V packages. IIRC, schools get a 30% discount off list price.

What on earth for? Never had to use anything more than Winstall LE for the awkward ones I can't just throw out via SCCM natively!

I've not had to repackage anything at all since I started using SCCM in 2012. What is it you're repackaging?

 

APPV has its own packager built in also, so why would that need an additional packager on top?

 

If I want to build my own MSI, say to install Fonts, I use Advanced Installer Free.

psydii - we were quoted £18k not £1800! If it was £1800 it wouldn't be a problem. I will double check that with Millgate!

 

Thanks for all your suggestions, we will look at Advanced Installer in the meantime!

I like Advanced Installer. With some of my clients, I've also used Pace Suite (Pace Suite) - it's also substantially cheaper that AS and has some discounts for edu clients. Edited February 22, 2017 by kellybrooks86
