Why Roborepo
Why Robopack runs its own app catalog
Roborepo puts every step of an update in Robopack’s hands, from the vendor’s release to the package in your Intune tenant. Here is what that changes for you.
New versions sooner
A new vendor version usually reaches the catalog within four hours of its release.
Fewer blocked updates
Robopack controls every step, so fewer updates get stuck between the vendor’s release and your devices.
One owner, end to end
From getting the vendor’s update to delivering it to Intune, every step is Robopack’s, and so is the responsibility for it. For MSPs, the update times you promise your customers rest on one named supplier.
Tested before release
Before an app is added to the catalog, it goes through rigorous security testing in Robopack’s 26-stage process.
A bigger library
Robopack adds the apps its customers need, not only the most common ones, and key apps are added more often.
Your own apps too
Not every app is in a catalog. Upload the installer and Robopack packages it as IntuneWin, MSIX or App-V, ready to deploy through Intune.
Verified apps
80 verified apps, set up for business use
For the most-used apps, Robopack goes a step further. A verified app comes with the settings businesses usually change already applied, such as turning off the app’s own updater and its first-run prompts, so it installs quietly and stays under your control. More are added as the catalog grows.
Compared
Robopack’s catalog vs Microsoft’s Enterprise App Catalog
Intune’s Enterprise App Management (EAM) comes with a catalog of its own, the Enterprise App Catalog. Here is how the two compare. You can use both, but let only one of them manage each app.
| Microsoft’s Enterprise App Catalog | Robopack’s catalog | |
|---|---|---|
| Apps in the catalog | Hundreds, curated by Microsoft | 30,000+ from Roborepo and the Microsoft Store |
| Apps that aren’t in the catalog | You package them yourself as Win32 apps | Upload the installer: Robopack packages it as IntuneWin, MSIX or App-V |
| New versions | Automatic for catalog apps assigned as required | Usually in the catalog within four hours of the vendor’s release |
| Rolling out an update | No rings: every targeted device updates at once | Pilot ring, then broad ring, moving on only when your response and success goals are met |
| An earlier version to fall back to | No rollback | Superseded versions kept in Intune, three by default |
Can’t find an app?
Robopack can usually add any app whose vendor publishes its updates publicly. If you’re a Robopack customer, log a ticket with Robopack support and ask for it, or upload the installer and Robopack packages it for you. Still evaluating Robopack? Then ask us in a demo.
App catalog questions
What is Roborepo?
Roborepo is Robopack’s own app repository. Robopack packages and maintains every app in it, from getting the vendor’s update to delivering it to Intune. Together with the Microsoft Store, it makes up the Robopack catalog of 30,000+ apps.
Where do the apps in the Robopack catalog come from?
From Roborepo, Robopack’s own app repository, and the Microsoft Store. Robopack packages and maintains every Roborepo app itself, and every app goes through Robopack’s 26-stage testing process before it’s added.
How quickly do new versions reach the catalog?
A new vendor version usually reaches the catalog within four hours of its release. From there, your patch flows roll it out through your pilot and broad rings.
What is a verified app?
A verified app comes with the settings businesses usually change already applied, such as turning off the app’s own updater and its first-run prompts. There are 80 verified apps today, and more are added as the catalog grows.
Is this the same as the Enterprise App Catalog in Intune EAM?
No. The Enterprise App Catalog is part of Microsoft’s Enterprise App Management (EAM) for Intune: a curated catalog of hundreds of apps, with no rollout rings. The Robopack catalog has 30,000+ apps, takes your own installers, and rolls out every new version through pilot and broad rings. If you use both, let only one of them manage each app.
What if an app I need isn’t in the catalog?
If you’re a Robopack customer, log a ticket with Robopack support and ask for it. Robopack can usually add any app whose vendor publishes its updates publicly. You can also upload the installer yourself, and Robopack packages it for Intune.
