Pckgr for Intune Reviews & Product Details

I really like that Pckgr takes the pain out of packaging for Intune. It handles the messy, repetitive work, detecting installers, building the package, and generating the Intune‑ready output, without me having to script everything manually. The workflow feels clean and predictable, and it saves a noticeable amount of time when dealing with apps that would normally require custom packaging. It strikes a good balance between automation and control, which makes it easy to trust in day‑to‑day use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I wouldn’t say there’s anything fundamentally wrong with Pckgr, but a few areas still feel like they need refinement. Some installers don’t get detected cleanly, which means I occasionally have to intervene manually when I expected full automation. The UI can also feel a bit rigid at times, especially when you want to adjust advanced packaging options. None of this is a deal‑breaker, but these small friction points keep it from being a perfect, fully hands‑off solution. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We enjoy not having to package apps for Intune ourselves, and that has saved us a lot of time. The app library for deployment and updates is large, and it’s been good enough for our customer base as an MSP.

Deployment and update notifications are optional, and we’ve enabled a few so we know when certain apps have been updated.

I also really like that SnagIT is included in the library, since it’s a tool we use a lot.

The UI is easy to navigate, and the “request app” feature works as expected. They review the request and either add it to the library, or let you know if the app is too complex to include.

The Intune integration is straightforward to deploy with just a few clicks, and their support has been responsive so far. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

So far, there’s really nothing we dislike, except that we can’t work with Entra ID groups in the same way PMPC can. Right now, we have to manually go into the app and add the group in order to deploy the app, but its a minor thing comparing to package the apps ourselves. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Pckr has been a solid tool for me. It was easy to set up, runs smoothly without slowing things down, and takes the pain out of managing updates. It saves time, keeps systems consistent, and just works quietly in the background. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One thing about long documentation is that it can feel overwhelming, while thoroughness is useful, having to sift through pages of detail slows down troubleshooting and makes it harder to quickly find the exact steps or answers you need. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Ever since switching to to Intune PCKGR our application update processes have been completely streamlined. Complete time saver. It has freed me up to do other things knowing that our applications are being pushed out with the latest versions. The UI is very clean and easy to learn and use. We are on the Business plan and the price is perfect at only $1499 a year. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The only negative I have is sometimes with custom apps, it will run its tests and say the app is ready to go but it will fail when pushed via Intune. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It perfectly automates the process of installing and updating applications, which saves our team a lot of manual overhead. I also really appreciate that the product doesn't stand still - it is constantly expanding its application library and regularly improving its features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes there are minor issues where not all applications deploy perfectly or clear out from MDE (Microsoft Defender for Endpoint) recommendations right away. However, the developers are very proactive and continuously implement new solutions to address these edge cases. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As an IT Department of one, Pckgr for Intune is a total no-brainer for me. It eliminates the packaging loop entirely with right silent switches, prebuilt detection rules, and packages that are ready to deploy. Every app I don't manually package is time back in my day. Pckgr takes away the hassle of hunting down silent switches, wrestling with IntuneWinAppUtil, and getting detection rules wrong. Pre-built, ready-to-deploy packages with correct silent switches and detection rules are already done, so I can open it, grab the package, and move on. I like that there's no rework, no guesswork, and I trust the deployment is going to work the first time. It just works, and the tool pays for itself in the first week. Plus, the setup was very easy.

I wish Pckgr for Intune had a larger app catalog because the more packages available, the less I have to deal with IntuneWinAppUtil. Also, having automatic update notifications when a new version of a packaged app or driver package is available would be huge for staying current without manual monitoring.

When using Intune alone, updating apps that are currently being deployed often requires manually placing the latest installer back on the Intune side. However, by using Pckgr, we can automatically update most apps, which has been extremely helpful in improving information security on Windows. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Even within the same app, I would appreciate it if the settings on the Pckgr side—which are currently separated for the initial zero-touch provisioning and subsequent automatic updates—could be consolidated into a single item. It would be easier to understand if the options were presented in the following format: - Forced installation upon Entra ID Join, with automatic updates thereafter - Initial installation is optional for the user, but once installed, updates are automatic Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

With Pckgr, we save a lot of time, as we do not have to package many default applications ourselves, and we can focus on more important management tasks.

The UI is simple to use and allows any member of our team to easily add and manage new apps in our Intune catalog.

The support team is quick to respond, and they try their best to quickly resolve any issues with apps.

With the switch to the private repository, issues went down, as there is less dependency on third-party packages in Winget. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

With the comfort of Pckgr, you lose some initiative.

If users require the latest update for a tool, you might be out of luck, as Pckgr needs some time to update the app in their system.

The app catalog, while growing, is focused on more general-purpose apps.

Apps for the AV-Industry, that have hundreds of individual (often poorly coded) software, are often missing in Pckgr.

As those tools receive updates more often, and the newest version is often required to support the latest hardware, there can be an issue with the time between the developer's update release and the update being in Pckgr.

However! You can easily request new apps to be added to Pckgr, and the Pckgr team does its best to keep all Apps updated. So I do not really hold it against them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It makes it much easier to provision a large library of applications and keep everything up to date. It also provides a wide range of customisation options for each application.

Integration with Intune is straightforward, and the tool itself feels simple, intuitive, and easy to use. Pckgr is also very affordable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It would be good to detect installs of applications on users' devices, not currently published via Pckgr, so that it can be captured and updated centrally. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like how easy and convenient the automatic app updates are. Pckgr simplifies app deployment and reduces the time it takes significantly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While Pckgr offers an extensive application library, sometimes there’s still an app missing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
