Supported Deployment Technologies

App Portal / App Broker 2024 R1

App Portal / App Broker 2024 R1 supports the following deployment technologies for software distribution:

  • Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager
  • Microsoft System Center 2012 Configuration Manager
  • Microsoft Intune
  • Altiris Client Management Suite 7.1
  • Workspace ONE UEM (Cloud-based for mobile application deployment)
  • Jamf Pro 10.36.1
  • Jamf Cloud

The purpose of App Portal / App Broker’s support for multiple deployment technologies is to enable you to:

  • Provide a seamless end user experience while you are upgrading from older versions of System Center Configuration Manager to Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager.
  • Present a single instance to your users even if your organization uses both System Center Configuration Manager and Altiris deployment technologies across your enterprise.
  • Provide your users with a universal app store containing both desktop and mobile applications.

You enter the deployment technology connection settings by opening the Site Management > Settings > Deployment view, and then entering the settings on the ConfigMgr , SCCM 2012 , Intune , Altiris , Workspace ONE UEM , Jamf Pro , or Jamf Cloud subtabs.

App Portal / App Broker can only be connected to multiple servers of the same type if they are set up in a hierarchical relationship, with only the “main” site’s connection information entered on the Site Management > Settings > Deployment tab. The following table describes the acceptable hierarchical relationships for the deployment technologies:
