Chocolately is perfect if you need a robust, well-supported (by the community) package manager. It has basically every major library/tool that you need to do development. I used it specifically in UI test automation.

Best suited for secure artifact storage and wide distributions, along with compliance and governance support, easy integration with different organization ecosystems. Less suited for projects with minimal dependencies and offline environments with no connectivity to external repositories.

On OSX machines we use brew which works if compared to Chocolatey, a lot better. You could see that on Windows machines the idea of a command line-based software installation tool is not very common, especially if you want to use tools like Python or other scripting languages.
