I'm looking for advice on deploying Microsoft Store apps in a hybrid environment using SCCM and Intune. We still rely on the Software Center, so I can't deploy Intune store apps directly there. Is the Company Portal our only option? Currently, we've been manually deploying msix files through SCCM when we can find them, but I'm curious if there's a more efficient method. Is transitioning to the Company Portal really the best solution?

For offline installs, you can grab store files from this website: store.rg-adguard.net. It helps to find the appx files you need for free store apps. This worked well for me in my last job when we had the Store blocked. It's a great alternative to manually searching for msix files!
In a hybrid setup, using the Company Portal typically offers a cleaner approach for Microsoft Store apps. While Software Center can manage many things, deploying store apps gets complicated quickly if you’re using manually sourced msix packages. I'd suggest keeping legacy apps in SCCM but letting Intune handle the Store apps. Just ensure your users know the difference between the two portals to avoid confusion.
You can keep using SCCM as you like and still deploy apps from Intune. It’s possible to have both the Company Portal and Software Center on clients, using Company Portal for modern apps. This might streamline things for you in the long run!
