Solarwinds Patch Manager

What do you like best? The part I enjoy most about Solarwinds Patch Manager is the ability to pre-schedule the approval of patches. This allows much more flexibility than Microsoft's native WSUS. What do you dislike? What I dislike the most is a feature I wish I could get working more. The third party patching feature seems amazing but we have never been able to get it to work. It could very well be the user but following online guides didn't help. Recommendations to others ...

Patch Management

What do you like best? Use it to replace the free SUS and have instant access to reporting. What do you dislike? Although it's similar look to Microsoft sus there's still that learning curve we're going through. Recommendations to others considering the product: Request demo What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized? Microsoft SUS is too limited. This allows us to see more details and aware of successful installations.

Complicated Setup and Use

What do you like best? The price was at a good point and the patching details was informational What do you dislike? The complexity of the setup and daily use was too much for our needs. Recommendations to others considering the product: I would work on simplifying the administration. I also would recommend to have the sales people at solarwinds not call every other day to sell additional products. That in itself was a turn off to continue use of their products. What problems ...

Patch manager has saved me many hours of watching patches!

What do you like best? I recently purchased patch manager, ever since then I’ve saved so much time watch and waiting for patches. I can patch at tonight while I’m sleeping! What do you dislike? Sometimes the GUI is confusing and hard to decipher! What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized? Real time patching has solved many business needs, from patches for virus’s to just updating service packs.
