We are looking for 3rd party tools to help with the process of package management and deployment of 3rd party applications using SCCM.  Has anyone in the community got any recommendations ?  Looking to simplify the process.

I lot of people like to use http://psappdeploytoolkit.com./

Also you can use tool like Orca or admin studio to make .msi file or change to those msi.

But honestly i think using app deploy or any powershell to deploy all the application is easy and portable. Also using powershell it let you do some touch up during installation copy config file or regkey and even make validation or start other things afterward also make sure some software are close before you install.

But there is no best solution or one solution that fits everyone. You need to look at what you need.

Concur with Frederick in general; however, maybe we can offer something more if you define the above. Specially, what is not simple today? What are you having challenges or problems with? Is something not working well?

You've made a very generic statement that has no real meaning so it's difficult for use to offer anything meaningful in return.
