Patch manager

What do you like best? I like what it offers. WSUS, SCCM, vulnerability management, patch compliance, etc. The level of security we feel with this manager is top-tier. The alerts and access we get to things like managed computers, management groups, windows updates, approved/preapproved/unapproved agents. What do you dislike? It was challenging for some to learn to manage it. Perhaps could be more user friendly. Recommendations to others considering the product: I recommend this ...

It helps me see what updates need to be installed and which have failed.

What do you like best? I love being able to push updates, then see how successful they were. It is really helpful to see which computers are failing as then I can determine the cause specific to each computer. What do you dislike? Sometimes the check remains for days even though the installed updates went in. Recommendations to others considering the product: There is an ease of use that helps make sure Patches are made and maintained. We use this with the RMM as well and they ...

Patch Mgr review

What do you like best? Love the software where I can push out updates to 3rd party updates like flash, java, and chrome with a breeze. What do you dislike? Can’t push out Mac updates and support to custom packages is minimal. What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized? Allowing us to keep software like java and flash which get updated frequently installed on our client machines. Machines are kept up to date weekly instead of manually updating ...

What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized? It has issues with consistent reporting. None so far.

Great solution for patch management

What do you like best? This is the first tool I’ve used that’s specifically built for patch management and it serves it’s purpose. It’s effectively applies patches downloaded to servers and reboots and planned. What do you dislike? Sometimes you have to run a task multiple times in order to get the patches to install on a systems. It’s also not very inuitive for first time users setting up tasks. Also which there was a web interface. Recommendations to others considering the ...
