LanGuard is fine but the UI is clunky and it's not a cloud-based product. Automox is a nice tool for endpoints, however, not great for server patching IMO because it doesn't seem to patch in "real-time" as LanGuard does. I can monitor LanGuard's patching in real-time, I can see the download and the install being pushed. Because of this, we kept LanGuard for servers and Automox for client PCs and laptops.

Patch policy creation could be more elegant. Need to find an easy and clean way to deploy OS versions (ie 21H1 etc) rather than using a complex policy or work. Need more granularity but without complexity.
