    Chose ManageEngine Patch Manager Plus
    SolarWinds was not selected because it runs on top of SCCM which in itself is problematic and unreliable. We need an application that runs in standalone mode and does not rely on any other application. SolarWinds

    If you are managing a very large number of computers, I would say 1000+, the standard patching tools provided by Microsoft will fail to do their job properly. This is where you will benefit from ManageEngine PATCH MANAGER Plus, being agent-based it is fast, easy to manage, and reliable. If you require functionality more than just patching, like security auditing, you have to look elsewhere.

    Pros
    ManageEngine, A Div of Zoho Corporation Pvt Ltd
    • All the patches are tested before delivered to us.
    • It's on cloud so we does not need to maintain Hardware and Network.
    • It also upgrades the hardware drivers & BIOS. But for BIOS only we use monthly updates no automatic policy just push to target computers.

    Cons
    ManageEngine, A Div of Zoho Corporation Pvt Ltd
    • If this tool can fetch serial numbers of the devices on which this is deployed
    • This tool should collect all application installed at client machine which is not available as of now.
    • Intergate more application which can be patch using this tool.

    Usability
    ManageEngine, A Div of Zoho Corporation Pvt Ltd
    The overall usability for the application is great precisely for the ease of use the application provides, if i would go in a different organisation, i would suggest implementing ManageEngine Patch Manager Plus or Endpoint Central due to its features, and productivity.

    We were talking to Action1 and Adaptiva about their solutions of patch management. The main factor of choosing ManageEngine was pricing, which was considerably lower compared to these tools. Also, for Action1, it didn't featured some important features (like Linux patching), and it looked like a solution that is getting started in the market, even being more expensive than Patch Manager Plus.

    Return on Investment
    ManageEngine, A Div of Zoho Corporation Pvt Ltd
    • It has saved engineers so much time when monitoring patching out of hours.
    • We no longer need to log into each individual server to patch it if it's failed, it can all be done from inside ManageEngine Patch Manager Plus itself.
