A good solution for a great result
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
I was looking for a way to improve my patch management for my SoHo network (partly private, partly commercial), to automate it to a certain extent, and, especially for security reasons, to get an overview of missing updates for the third-party software I use. The fact that driver and BIOS updates are also offered was an added bonus for me.
Pros
- Patching
- Reporting
- Management like planned restarts and shutdowns
- Improving security
Cons
- Software deployment via packages or scripts
- Updates for more anti-virus manufacturers like fpr example ESET
- Remote access to clients
Likelihood to Recommend
I would recommend ManageEngine Patch Manager Plus at any time, or even use it for smaller customers.
Regarding things like software deployment or remote support, another product would probably be more advantageous.
However, as a pure patch management solution, it is definitely more than sufficient and it would increase the security level enormous.
