Hello everyone,
I'm looking for a free or very low cost self service portal to install and update apps like JAMF's Casper Suite includes. I need it for a small organization that can't afford much, so free would be best. Any ideas? Thanks much!

I think you looking for an MDM.
MDM -- moble device management
Airwatch, Meraki, MobileIron, Profile Manager on OS X Server, or Zenprise
Meraki -- A free MDM [ expect lots of email and phone calls about upgrades ]

Apple Configurator is free. Requires Mac OS X 10.7. Profile Manager is included with Mac OS X servers. You can run the servers software on the latest mac.
Thanks for replying. I gave Meraki a try, but couldn't find something to create a central spot for the end users to install approved apps.
