Overall Satisfaction with Ivanti Security Controls

We use Isec (Ivanti Security Controls) for our monthly security patching of all servers in the environment (on-prem). This allows us to keep our servers up to date with the monthly release cycles from Microsoft and other vendors. It's also used for ad-hoc patching as needed for zero-day threats as well as keeping our template builds up to date.
  • Patching large numbers of servers.
  • Keeping audits of patching process.
  • Flexible configuration options with regards to selecting machine groups.
  • Performance of the console when using agentless machines.
  • The console layout is a bit cumbersome - would be better if all functions were accessible from one screen.
  • Common deployment examples to assist with deployment types.
  • Consolidation of all patches available via templates.
  • Automated scheduling of patch downloads from vendors.
  • Auditing of patched machines.
  • Scanned reports of patch status.
  • Reduced amount of operating hours for administration of patching.
  • Microsoft Endpoint Manager (Microsoft Intune + SCCM)
Isec covers a much larger vendor base than SCCM did for us. It's also much more automated and flexible than SCCM ever was.
