Some people have said that Chocolatey doesn’t install some applications well but I didn’t experience that. There is a Pro version but only businesses with lots of Windows computers will want to go for this. I only used the open-source version of Chocolatey and I found that it did everything that I wanted. You can install your favorite applications and leave it all unattended while you go and do something useful if you use Chocolatey. and then I had a visible interface to keep track of what was installed and what wasn’t. Things got a lot better when I downloaded the GUI from here. I had to use a PowerShell to add the commands for the installations which was a bit tricky for me at first. When I went to the official website I saw that there was a huge amount of applications and utilities available for downloading on to Windows computers. I have heard a lot about Chocolatey as a good Ninite alternative but I’d never used it before. Chocolatey – Free version and Pro for $96/year Silent Install Builder – Free evaluation version and $299 for single-user license So I went looking and testing and I now bring you the 7 Ninite alternatives you should take a look at. Having used Ninite myself I was wondering if there were similar programs available. You can also get a pro version of Ninite that enables you to manage all of your computers using a live web interface. For an additional $10/year you can automatically check for updates to the applications supported by Ninite so that there’s no need for you to perform manual updates. There is a free version of Ninite which will do what most users want.
