Octopus Deploy
Founded in 2012, Octopus Deploy enables successful deployments for over 25,000 companies around the world. Prior to Octopus Deploy, release orchestration and DevOps automation tools were clunky, limited to large enterprises and didn't deliver what they promised. Octopus Deploy was the first release automation tool to gain popular adoption by software teams, and we continue to invent new ways for Dev & Ops teams to automate releases and deliver working software to production. Runbook automation in Octopus sits side-by-side with your deployments and gives you control over your infrastructure and applications. Automate operations tasks like routine maintenance and emergency incident recovery. Flexible, role-based access control lets you manage who can deploy to production, change your deployment process, infrastructure, and more.

EtherApps Forge
EtherApps Forge captures Windows applications on the machines they already run on, even when the installer is lost, and turns them into signed MSIX, MSI, Intune Win32 and App Attach packages for Microsoft Intune, Windows 365 and Azure Virtual Desktop. AI does the busywork: the Forge MCP server lets GitHub Copilot and other AI clients drive Forge in plain English, one real tool call at a time, and Forge AI Controller (private preview) runs packaging as an agent in your own infrastructure, with local AI models so data stays in your environment. Capture runs from Windows XP SP3 to Windows 11 and Server 2008 R2 to 2025. App-V 5 packages convert to MSIX or MSI without resequencing. Sign, validate and smoke test each package. Forge runs on your own machines, so packages and signing keys stay with you. 7-day free trial at etherapps.ai: 25 captures, no card. £895 per named packaging admin per year, plus VAT.

PacKit
PacKit is a Windows application for software packagers, deployment engineers, IT administrators, and managed service providers. It organizes application packages, configuration details, deployment commands, and project information in shared workspaces. Its application catalog uses WinGet, while a command-line finder helps identify silent install parameters and a script editor supports PowerShell and PSAppDeployToolkit workflows. PacKit can create .intunewin files from EXE, MSI, and PSADT-wrapped packages, then upload applications to Microsoft Intune or Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager (MECM). Users can manage Intune assignments and detection rules, reuse settings when updating applications, and import MECM packages for migration to Intune.
