Standardising tool sets across different Teams is not always easy... especially when different Teams have traditionally used different approaches and methodologies. In this webinar we will unpack the advantages of a more standard, consistent approach with Puppet & Chocolatey.
Choose from Thousands of Community Packages
Chocolatey has the largest online registry of Windows packages. Chocolatey packages encapsulate everything required to manage a particular piece of software into one deployment artifact by wrapping installers, executables, zips, and/or scripts into a compiled package file.
Package submissions go through a rigorous moderation review process, including automatic virus scanning. The community repository has a strict policy on malicious and pirated software. Read more.
Chocolatey for Business (C4B)
Chocolatey for Business (C4B) is Complete Software Management focused on three value-added areas - improved security, enhanced productivity features, and enabling more visibility. C4B is also backed with dedicated support, services, and roadmap.
- Closely aligned to organizational use cases – rapid deployment & highly scalable
- More visual interfaces (GUIs) & smoother user experience
- Special advanced functionality i.e Package Creation, Package Internalizer, Package Audit, Package Synchronizer, Self-Service Installer
- Easy migration path from open source
- Deep integration with leading technologies
Chocolatey for Business (C4B) has helped hundreds of system admins save time, reduce downtime, and accelerate deployment.
The two things I love the most are Package Builder and Package Internalizer. Both have saved us time and effort to bring the tools in to a non-interconnected area.

The Sane Way to Manage Software on Windows
System engineers spend hours deploying & configuring Windows software manually. Traditional tools are not built for modern automation and a DevOps approach, which can make achieving consistency and gaining insights across your environment difficult.
There are a lot of different installer formats and multiple approaches to deploying Windows software. Deploying software without package management on Windows can be complicated and time-consuming.
Chocolatey simplifies this through a simple, repeatable, and automated approach, by using a universal packaging format for managing all Windows software. It doesn't matter if you are using native installers, zips, scripts, binaries or in-house developed applications and tools – Chocolatey treats them as all 1st class citizens.
Write once, deploy anywhere, with anything, and then simply track & manage.

Client Platform Manager at Yelp
We wanted to make sure our user experience was seamless. We wanted to provide a service, software, configuration- without user intervention, without restarts... Chocolatey allowed our engineers to build the products, to build the pipeline and deliver just that.
Mike Lombardi
Software Engineer at Puppet
The single biggest thing I love about Chocolatey has to be the ease of use and reusablility. That has made all the difference for me. I don't have to remember 37 different ways to interact with my software... just the one- and that's it!
