Let’s Discuss an Easy Way to Install Araxis Merge through the Intune Enterprise App Catalog. As you all know, Microsoft Intune is a cloud-based service that offers numerous features for IT administrators. Microsoft Intune has the Enterprise App Catalog feature, which allows organizations to install applications and provides a single platform for IT administrators to manage all enterprise applications.

We recently shared various app installations through the Enterprise App Catalog. In this post, we will guide you on installing the Araxis Merge app, one of the top merging and folder synchronization applications.

This app allows users to compare and merge changes between different versions of text files, including source code, HTML, XML, and other text formats. It is beneficial for both professional and personal use and provides an excellent user experience for easily comparing, merging, and synchronizing folders.

The tool enables pixel-level comparison for images and byte-level comparison for binary files. This post will explain how to install the Araxis Merge application through the Microsoft Intune admin center.
