ManageEngine Patch Manager Plus

We use ManageEngine Patch Manager Plus to help us comply with our 14 day patching schedule, we have set up automatic deployments for both Windows and Third party apps, we typically install updates for most software using MS Intune but for all the smaller third party apps that tends to get missed, ManageEngine Patch Manager Plus comes in handy and catches most of them. It has definitely been a good asset when it comes to our security audits.

We use ManageEngine Patch Manager Plus to patch our Windows Server estate. Previously we were using WSUS which was proving hard to manage servers with failed patches which would sometimes take hours to report in. ManageEngine Patch Manager Plus is instantaneous and makes patching so easy now. Fixing patching issues can be done within 15 minutes rather than hours.

We use Patch Manager Plus in an educational environment where finding time to update is hard for teachers. One of the challenges we faced was that teachers would not update their apps during the school day and have outdated software. With Patch Manager Plus, we set up our distribution servers, deployment profiles, and gave teachers specific times of day when their computers would update. This helped solve our problems by allowing devices to update and not hinder the work day.

IT security nowadays has become of primary concern and given our very large number of PCs and Laptops (more than 1400) all connected to LAU’s network and having internet access, we realized that it is of utmost importance to have a solid patching solution. Up until now, we were relying on Microsoft WSUS for updating Microsoft products but over the past several years, it proved to be extremely unreliable and problematic. We tested Microsoft SCCM for the patching role but it also proved to be extremely impractical, unreliable and cumbersome. We did research to find out what are the best patch management (PM) applications on the market, tested 7 different products and found ManageEngine PATCH MANAGER Plus to be the best effective solution for our needs. Now we have an efficient automated solution that keeps our 2000+ PCs, Laptops and servers up to date and safe.

We need some tested products for ManageEngine Patch Management and we choose the same. It updated my network very easily. Just create a policy on what to do and the rest will take care of ManageEngine Patch Manager.

We use ManageEngine Patch Manager Plus to assist with third-party application patchings, such as 7Zip, WinSCP, and Putty. The big problem that this software addressed is patching software for users who do not connect to corporate networks for more than 30 days. PatchManager solved that issue for us because it only needs to be connected to the internet.
