We chose Advanced Installer as our application packaging solution because of its ability to automate the update process for our customers.
The integration with our Azure pipeline was also a critical factor in our decision-making process. Advanced Installer's autonomous capabilities ensure that the software packaging process is streamlined and efficient, allowing us to focus on developing our application.
With Advanced Installer, we can ensure that our customers have the latest version of our software without any manual intervention or disruption to their workflow.
We worked with the Advanced Installer team in an effort aimed at improving the security and efficiency of software deployment processes for developers and IT professionals globally.
The integration of Trusted Signing into Advanced Installer makes it easier for tens of thousands of developers and IT professionals to sign their packages while relying on their existing Azure tenant to provide secure access management for their certificate profiles.
This integration doesn’t just streamline the code signing process; it sets a new standard for secure software distribution.
We adopted Advanced Installer after evaluating the usual suspects and have been delighted by it on a few fronts.
Firstly, there’s a lot of power right there in the interface.
A stand-out feature of the Advanced Installer license is the excellent support via forums and email. We've had multiple calls over the years, including sending in our project files for review or repair.
The service has always been stellar and we appreciate the contribution the Advanced Installer team makes to the community too.
After a long list of packaging tools evaluation, finding Advanced Installer was a breath of fresh air. We adopted it immediately and included it in our software development process as a component to stay.
We chose Advanced Installer due to its flexibility, technical capabilities, and progressive approach - let's appreciate that it is the first packaging software solution to support the innovative MSIX format.
Advanced Installer is now an intrinsic part of our software development process, with packaging outcomes complementing the quality of our products.
If you want a quality installer product that “just works”, is easy to use, and is packed with features, I strongly recommend Advanced Installer.
In less than 15 minutes, I had an installation package that was ready to go. And in another 10 (only because I poked around a bit), I had a fully deployable package, complete with all my needed prerequisites, ready for distribution. Take it from me – don’t waste valuable time trying to find another solution; use Advanced Installer and spend your hours doing something more productive with your life or enjoying that time with family, and friends, or just sleeping.
We package and deploy software for significant enterprise customers globally, both to enable workplace modernization initiatives and to manage and evolve operations.
Advanced Installer is our first choice for packaging software because their empower our teams to deliver efficiently and with high quality. We've found their interface to be easy-to-use, the support documentation robust, and they are always there to support us when we need them. With the constant evolution of the MSIX format, we are happy to have chosen a software provider that is not just keeping pace, but leading the pack.
