Chose Ivanti Security Controls
Isec covers a much larger vendor base than SCCM did for us. It's also much more automated and flexible than SCCM ever was.
Chose Ivanti Security Controls
Ivanti allowed for the most control without using agent deployments. Ivanti also has the largest 3rd party patching. Easy to use.
Chose Ivanti Security Controls
Since we have been using Application Control for about 15 years, it is, of course, the best solution for us. We also looked at other products (RES One Workspace), but they didn't convince us. Some features of RES were good and are now part of the User Workspace Manager. The …

Ivanti Endpoint Manager is used in my full-time job; for my purposes and my own customers, it would be too expensive and overpowered.
Chose ManageEngine Patch Manager Plus
because it fits well in all our requirements
Chose ManageEngine Patch Manager Plus
ManageEngine Patch Manager Plus was easier to use, and you can basically set it and forget it. The performance is very good and we had way less failed patch than competing product.
Chose ManageEngine Patch Manager Plus
We previously used Microsoft Windows Server Update Services (WSUS). The reporting was extremely limited and all remediation had to be done manually, you can't initiate a reboot or a manual install like you can from ManageEngine Patch Manager Plus. Creation of Automated Patching …
Chose ManageEngine Patch Manager Plus
SolarWinds was not selected because it runs on top of SCCM which in itself is problematic and unreliable. We need an application that runs in standalone mode and does not rely on any other application. SolarWinds
Chose ManageEngine Patch Manager Plus
Patch Manager Plus does the most basic job of monitoring machines, deploying packages silently, and keeping machines up to date.
Chose ManageEngine Patch Manager Plus
ManageEngine Patch Manager Plus keeps our devices all under one pool.
Chose ManageEngine Patch Manager Plus
The price point is the main reason on why Patch Manager Plus would be better, the better app would always be Defender for Windows environment, but for an environment which has multiple OS, its better to have a non-affiliated patching solution.
Chose ManageEngine Patch Manager Plus
Since we are using ManageEngine for quite a long time, this gives us more comfort than any other product which may not fulfil our needs if chosen.
Chose ManageEngine Patch Manager Plus
We were talking to Action1 and Adaptiva about their solutions of patch management. The main factor of choosing ManageEngine was pricing, which was considerably lower compared to these tools. Also, for Action1, it didn't featured some important features (like Linux patching), …

Security Controls is particularly suitable for customers who are looking for a patch solution and need security to protect themselves from unknown malicious code. For customers who are already using the Workspace Manager Suite, we don't think the solution is that suitable. A patch for Windows would be sufficient.

Its a best tool for managing and patching an corporate environment, specially the dashboards and the UI which is relatively easy to adapt for someone without prior knowledge of Patching as well. If a company has Secure Gateway Server, then the remote deployment is a plus, it helps to even remotely deploy patches to the remote employees.

  • All the patches are tested before delivered to us.
  • It's on cloud so we does not need to maintain Hardware and Network.
  • It also upgrades the hardware drivers & BIOS. But for BIOS only we use monthly updates no automatic policy just push to target computers.

Cons
  • Better search in the application control configuration
  • User rights management for modern user interface settings dialog.
  • For patching, a more intuitive console. Some features are hidden or not easy to find for users who are accessing the console for the first time.

SolarWinds was not selected because it runs on top of
SCCM which in itself is problematic and unreliable. We need an application that
runs in standalone mode and does not rely on any other application. SolarWinds
is also one of the most expensive. Kaseya and GFI LanGuard are overkill as they contain
functionality that we do not need or already have. GFI LanGuard for instance
does security auditing the same as Qualys that we already have. Kaseya is a full
management and automation solution.
