Ivanti Endpoint Security for Endpoint Manager vs. ManageEngine Patch Manager Plus

In an environment with PCs in multiple offices so you can view inventory, push job tasks/patches, run updates, and remote in for assistance.

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.

• Allows remote control of other PCs with minimal problems
• Create and push jobs to PCs on the network.
• View inventory of a computer and run queries based on info.

• 3rd-party application updates: since WSUS didn't allow us to do that, Patch Manager made updating software like Adobe and Chrome so easy.
• The ability to schedule patches after working hours is very nice.
• The dashboards that we can easily show to top management.

• Remoting in to computers sometimes takes a while or needs an inventory scan run multiple times. Also has a lag or resolution problems.
• Patches
• No other complaints based on my usage.

• If this tool can fetch serial numbers of the devices on which this is deployed

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.
