User Testimonials
	Chocolatey	Packagecloud
Likelihood to Recommend	Chocolatey Software It is very easy to install a batch of Windows software from the command line when setting up a new machine. All needed software installs could be scripted in one batch file and then run on a new machine. It is also very easy to keep the installed software up-to-date via the command line.

Alternatives Considered	Chocolatey Software The big reason I picked Chocolatey was the fact that npm and Maven are not well-suited for native windows environments. I had to run on a Windows Server virtual machine, so was limited by what I could use, and I did not want to install WSL on the machine. So, I picked Chocolately for dependency management on those machines. Incentivized Chris Hyde Test Engineering Manager Read full review	Packagecloud No answers on this topic
