Comments and Reviews

   
 Post comment/review
Comment summary: Ninite is praised for its ability to save time during software installations and updates, especially after system restores. While users appreciate its batch installation feature, there are concerns about its limited software library. Some users suggest workarounds for automatic updates and advise against using it for specific apps like Dropbox due to potential conflicts. The platform is generally considered easier to use than alternatives like Chocolatey, but users express a desire for more software options.

Works great... For a limited amount of programs...

Ninite is nice in a generic for "mom and pop" kind of way. The programs to choose from are generally old popular standbys. If you're ready for something more intense, try winstall.app icon winstall.app

Easier to use in comparison to Chocolatey as it builds and download an installer file for a convenient way to setup all apps in one go.

However, there is a limited selection of applications and I believe there should be a review of the existing selections.

Examples:

  • CCLeaner does have a questionable history and you can look at an alternative like BleachBit.
  • Foxit Reader has force bundling of other apps that can be unchecked, but you have to keep an eye out.

Simple install tool for a curated selection of tools, hope to see addition like keepassxc or veracrypt to the mix which would make it excellent

Interesting tool, limited amount of software though, but the soft is curated by Ninite, and you can save the "downloader" for the future, very useful feature!
