Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use ManageEngine Vulnerability Manager Plus to perform weekly vulnerability scans and identify the computers on our network that need to be upgraded or patched. We deploy all our software updates through ManageEngine Vulnerability Manager Plus and we have set up the product to perform updates to a test group first and then once some time has passed we roll out the updates to the entire network.

Pros

It excels in automating the patch management process, including testing and deployment for Windows, macOS, and Linux.
When new vulnerabilities are disclosed, ManageEngine Vulnerability Manager Plus provides immediate, actionable insights to detect affected systems and offers emergency, pre-built patches to mitigate risks instantly.
It identifies and helps remove unauthorized or risky software
It scans and hardens systems by detecting and fixing misconfigurations

Cons

The reporting could be better. Some of the canned reports that get generated are no longer useful. They are too noisy and do not provide succinct information.
The patch management process is a bit slow and at times it takes too long to push updates out to large numbers of computers.

Return on Investment

By automating the scanning, assessment, and patch management process, VMP has helped reduce the time to patch for us by 40%.
It has provided continuous visibility into device health and overall patch state. This has helped reduce the amount of time manually checking and updating.
By prioritizing the list of vulnerabilities the tool has helped our staff stay focused on the high-impact risks and ensure that critical assets are patched first.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We currently use the Vulnerability solution to keep our servers up to date. Since its implementation, we have significantly reduced the time spent on overtime for applying updates, as well as decreased the number of vulnerabilities in our environment—many of which we didn’t even know existed. Today, I am particularly a big fan of this tool and have already recommended it to several colleagues in the field. Automation makes updates much faster and more reliable.

Pros

Automation during environment updates.
Savings on overtime hours for the analyst responsible for updates.
Server vulnerability analysis.

Cons

Better integration with third-party tools.
Licenses for budget-friendly customers

Return on Investment

Reduction of Microsoft System Center licensing costs
Reduction of overtime hours for updates outside regular working hours.
