Overall Satisfaction with ManageEngine Patch Manager Plus

We use it to patch our endpoint devices in both environments (Windows and Linux). Patching laptops was a major headache for our IT team. Users were delaying updates, and some devices were missing security patches; we had no clear visibility into which devices were compliant and which were not. This was causing security risks and, at times, audit findings. The solution, Patch Manager Plus, helped us fix this problem by giving us centralized control over patching.

Pros

  • 3rd-party application updates: since WSUS didn't allow us to do that, Patch Manager made updating software like Adobe and Chrome so easy.
  • The ability to schedule patches after working hours is very nice.
  • The dashboards that we can easily show to top management.

Cons

  • I believe it needs enhancement in terms of Apple Mac Devices.
  • In some cases patches take long time to apply.
  • Ui/UX enhancements can be good for overall user experience.
  • No audit findings since we applied the software.
  • Better productivity for our IT support team since it saved a lot of time.
  • Much less security alerts from firewalls and security agents on our endpoint devices.
  • The negative thing I believe the cost of license should be less.
My reason would be that it works really well for what we need, which is patching laptops, 3rd party apps remote devices, scheduling, and reporting, but it is definitely not perfect since Mac/Linux support is a bit clunky, and also the price of the license can be reduced; sometimes in mass deployments, it can be slow a little bit.
We used Jamf and WSUS from Microsoft, and I believe ManageEngine was better than WSUS because PM Plus provided 3rd-party software patches, and we think it works better with Jamf since Jamf will be mainly for Mac devices, and PM Plus will be for Windows.

Yes

Would you buy ManageEngine Patch Manager Plus again?

Yes

If you need to roll out security patches on a regular basis, like monthly, for example, it's perfect since users barely notice it, and we get full compliance. If you require 3rd-party software updates. It can be less appropriate if your environment relies mainly on Mac devices or if you need to patch critical servers.
