Heimdal Patch and Asset Management vs. TechOwl Shield

Heimdal Patch and Asset Management has really helped us consistently patch our endpoints in what has become a much more flexible work environment. It picks up updates immediately upon release (looking at you patch Tuesday!), lets you set automatic install windows for "zero touch" deployment where appropriate and more manual control for clients you may want a slower roll-out for. Support staff are knowledgeable and quick to respond!

We use both solutions to give us a greater coverage of patches to ensure as many vulnerabilities as possible are patched.
