Learn More About Software Distribution Tools
Software Distribution Tools Overview
Software Distribution Tools (or software deployment tools) automate the process of delivering software to all endpoints on a network. This makes it easy to setup new workstations, push updates, or get new software installed on specific network devices. Software distribution tools also provide a way for administrators to be aware of what software is installed on what devices.
Businesses use software distribution tools to automate software installation and save time for their IT professionals. Many software distribution tools also allow businesses to create software repositories so that there are prebuilt packages that can be sent out to any endpoint in just a few clicks. Self service installation is also often possible using software distribution tools.

Software Distribution Comparison
The first consideration you should make when choosing a software distribution tool is what your endpoints are like. If your business is using entirely Windows, or macOS devices, you should choose a software distribution tool that is tailored to those endpoints. On the other hand, if you use a variety of different types of endpoints, you should be sure to choose a solution that can support all of them.
You should also consider other features of the software distribution solution. Many solutions also come with features like version control and build automation.
Software Distribution Pricing
Pricing for software distribution is based on the number of users supported and charged monthly. Businesses should expect to pay at least $10.00 per user per month, with that rate increasing as more features are required.
