Chocolatey for Business

Automate your entire Windows Software Lifecycle

Automate software install, upgrade, and removal.

Accelerate rollout and simplify software management.

Reduce time spent on software management by 90%.

Simplify Complex Processes

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 simple, repeatable, and automated approach, by using a universal packaging format for managing all Windows software. Regardless if installers are; native, zips, scripts, binaries or in-house developed - Chocolatey treats them as all 1st class citizens.

Write once, deploy anywhere, with anything, and then simply track & manage.

Save Time & Effort

System engineers can spend hours deploying & configuring Windows software manually. Traditional tools are just not built for modern automation and a DevOps approach. Gaining insights and consistency across your environment is not always easy.

Chocolatey for Business (C4B) has helped hundreds of system admins save time, reduce downtime, and accelerate deployments.

Chocolatey for Business (C4B) is Complete Software Management. Built on our popular open source offering.

Focused on three value-added areas; improved security, enhanced productivity features, and enabling more visibility. All backed with dedicated support, services, & roadmap

Convert Community Packages to 100% Offline & Reliable Use

  • Chocolatey community offers over 7,500 packages; however, those packages require external sources for software binaries from vendor servers at runtime
  • Take advantage of thousands of existing packages without reliance on the Internet
  • Package Internalizer downloads an existing package and all remote resources, and recompiles package to use those resources internally
  • Offers the ability for you to host packages on private internal repositories

Empower Your User Base While Maintaining Security Policies

  • Ensuring software is deployed and updated to users with no ‘admin rights’, or in highly regulated locked-down environments, is a challenge
  • C4B provides organizations the power to easily offer their users an interface to install and upgrade software
  • Offering a user-friendly, consistent, reliable approach without the need for manual intervention
  • C4B installation is completely locked down so non-administrators cannot make changes to configurations. Attempted abuses can be logged and audited.
  • Ability to customize with company logo

Improve Accuracy & Simplify Software Management

  • Gaining visibility beyond just the software ‘installed’ in Programs & Features can be very difficult
  • C4B easily brings all software in Programs and Features under Chocolatey management
  • Package Synchronizer ensures accurate inventory and enables easier management of complex Windows systems
  • Auto-synchronization allows you to uninstall directly from Programs and Features, as it detects when changes have occurred outside of Chocolatey (ie Programs & Features), and updates the Chocolatey package inventory accordingly
  • Track versions of zip archives & your own internal software that is not traditionally visible in system installation
  • Sync command brings all software on a system under Chocolatey management, allowing you to manage upgrades more consistently
  • Show all packages (even those without native installations) in Programs and Features, allowing you to capitalize on existing legacy inventory reporting systems

Inventory - Comprehensive Software Audit

  • Gain insights on what was installed, by whom, and when
  • Easily identify Out-of-Date Software
  • Identify package upgrades to target on next scheduled maintenance window

Automatically Optimize Your Deployments

  • Package Reducer helps to ensure the space that Chocolatey uses on a system stays minimal
  • Automatic self clean-up after package installation
  • Substantial package size reduction to enable to reduce footprint on endpoints
