Adding an in-house Application to The Easy2Patch Catalog
Easy2Patch works integratedwith Intune, System Center Configuration Manager (SCCM) or WSUS by seamlessly integrating third-party patching and application management.
Easy2Patchcatalog has lots of 3rd party products. Detection, automatic distribution, unattended installation of outdated software can be performed via Easy2Patch without the need for an additional agent.
Software which are in-house developed, or some of the licensed software (e.g software that are not widely used) may not be included in E2P catalogs. Also, normally, it may not be possible to add them to E2P catalogs as they may not have an official distribution point for new versions. Because the products added to the catalog must be accessible, downloadable, and installable by all customers. Easy2Patch provides a feature called Custom Product Injection for adding enterprise-specific applications to the catalog. So, with this feature, products that cannot be included in the catalog can be added. The product added to the catalog will be distributable via SCCM or Intune as application.
Easy2Patch provides a free trial (which has a few applications) catalog that you can add it in SCCM/WSUS or Intune. For detailed information please visit https://v3.easy2patch.com. To install Easy2Patch in your environment, please visit and download from https://www.easy2patch.com.
