Intruder vs. ManageEngine Patch Manager Plus

When the infrastructure landscape and risk profile is not well known and is legacy, Intruder can scan and automate reporting on open security risks, as well as coordinate responses.

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.

• Auto scanning.
• New vulnerability detection.
• Alert levels.

• 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.

Incentivized

• Reports could contain more detail.

Incentivized

• Would like to be able to still install patches that are older than 3 months
• Would like to be able to upload our own installers, but understand this is part of endpoint central

The support team at Patch Manager Plus has been awesome. Very responsive and knowledgeable. There are times when there is confusion between different tickets but there is still good service.

Intruder focuses on scanning network blocks for your servers even if you don't know which services or hostnames are running on them, unlike Detectify which requires a domain or hostname to scan. The network port scanning of Intruder is also broader than many competitors.

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
is also one of the most expensive. Kaseya and GFI LanGuard are overkill as they contain
functionality that we do not need or already have. GFI LanGuard for instance
does security auditing the same as Qualys that we already have. Kaseya is a full
management and automation solution.

Incentivized

• Improved security profile.
• Better reporting to stakeholders and clients of the current security risks.

Incentivized

• 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.
