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.

It's very well suited in the managed service provider space to service the small to medium businesses. We haven't used it much up at the enterprise level. Small to medium enterprises, though, it's fit for purpose. I couldn't speak to the enterprise. It makes sense, especially when it comes to developing cyber awareness amongst the knowledge workers in the security operations center. It keeps people's eyes on the ball.

Pros
ManageEngine A Div of Zoho Corporation Pvt Ltd
  • 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.

  • We'd always like it to go deeper. It's not a red team. It's not a pen test, we know, but just cross referencing vulnerabilities. It's easy to just keep going deeper and deeper and deeper.

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.

Alternatives Considered
ManageEngine A Div of Zoho Corporation Pvt Ltd
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.
