Patch Manager Plus is an automated patch management software that provides enterprises with a single interface for all patch management tasks. The vendor claims it works across platforms, helping users patch Windows, Mac, Linux & 300+ third-party applications. With Automated Patch Deployments, users can automate the entire process of patch management:…
German Support, NinjaOne is based in Frankfurt. Unfortunately, our Ivanti sales partner isn't yet familiar enough with Neurons to provide a high enough level of support. As a result, our only option is the somewhat cumbersome English-language support available through the …
Biggest differentiator is useability, cost. We have a very tight config mgmt group, help desk, after-hours MTO. Onboarded resources within ITS, and the agency as a whole, need to pickup Ivanti for self-service rather quick. The service catalogue is easy for admins to configure …
As far as patching, Ivanti Neurons for Patch Management is better in terms of the homepage displaying our current deployments. As far as pricing goes, it looks like it will be cheaper as well pretty soon. Tanium is better in terms of automation and, from what we have seen, …
NinjaOne also provided the ability to push out deployment packages, which was a plus. Ivanti was extremely difficult to set up on the front end. I would rank it closely with NinjaOne.
We used Jamf and WSUS from Microsoft, and I believe ManageEngine was better than WSUS because PM Plus provided 3rd-party software patches, and we think it works better with Jamf since Jamf will be mainly for Mac devices, and PM Plus will be for Windows.
The price point is the main reason on why Patch Manager Plus would be better, the better app would always be Defender for Windows environment, but for an environment which has multiple OS, its better to have a non-affiliated patching solution.
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), …
ManageEngine Patch Manager Plus was easier to use, and you can basically set it and forget it. The performance is very good and we had way less failed patch than competing product.
We previously used Microsoft Windows Server Update Services (WSUS). The reporting was extremely limited and all remediation had to be done manually, you can't initiate a reboot or a manual install like you can from ManageEngine Patch Manager Plus. Creation of Automated Patching …
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 need to roll out security patches on a regular basis, like monthly, for example, it's perfect since users barely notice it, and we get full compliance. If you require 3rd-party software updates. It can be less appropriate if your environment relies mainly on Mac devices or if you need to patch critical servers.
We are branching scope of work for other ITS-platforms towards more modern, broader scope engines like ServiceNow / SalesForce. Would like to see better integration at an Ivanti-wide level.
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.
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.
As far as patching, Ivanti Neurons for Patch Management is better in terms of the homepage displaying our current deployments. As far as pricing goes, it looks like it will be cheaper as well pretty soon. Tanium is better in terms of automation and, from what we have seen, patching user endpoints. In terms of visibility Absolute is better overall.
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.
ManageEngine Patch Manager Plus provides an excellent return on investment. We were able to get our systems fully patched, which we'd never been able to complete before. This provided excellent security to our organization.
ManageEngine Patch Manager Plus saved us a lot of time as most of our patching was fully automated.
ManageEngine took any issues we found and looked for solutions to further improve their product.
