I highly recommend Patch My PC to businesses of all types and sizes. The tool is highly customizable and can meet the needs of any organization. It is easy to implement with Configuration Manager (SCCM) and Intune and can be set up within a matter of minutes.

We have ceased using the tool as our primary outbound marketing platform for all the reasons stated. Slick integration but poor ROI. We have switched to a platform that does not require management of dozens of domains and email addresses and sends from a U.S.-based API

It's a good tool and you can figure out your way around it, but overall visibility from a bird's eye view could be better. Oftentimes you have to open up multiple tabs to see different client views
