Ivanti Endpoint Manager is used in my full-time job; for my purposes and my own customers, it would be too expensive and overpowered.

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.

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 …

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

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), …

Chose Tenable Security Center
My organization is strictly prohibited from using cloud services. Tenable.sc offers cloud service but we needed on-premises services. Therefore, Tenable.io was eliminated by Tenable.sc.
Chose Tenable Security Center
We decided to go with Tenable due to its robust reporting capabilities and competitive pricing vs its competitors. While all tools are very similar in regards to scanning capabilities we prefer Tenable SC's user interface. We also like the option to have both on-prem and cloud …
Chose Tenable Security Center
We selected Tenable because is one of the best solution at the moment. Tenable is a powerful tool that we use for validation of our patching methodology. This is very helpful if you are only patching what the vendor deems as critical and then with this external validation you …

ManageEngine Patch Manager PlusTenable Security Center
Likelihood to Recommend
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.

Tenable.sc is best suited for those organizations who are not very comfortable with Cloud and want an on-premises solution. If any organization has to follow some guidelines that no data should go to the cloud, in this case, Tenable.sc is a perfect fit as it's installed in the infra Datacenter and no data goes to Cloud. Tenable.sc won't be appropriate for those who have their infra setup on cloud.

  • 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.

Usability
Very easy to use once you get used to it. It can be a little overwhelming at first since there is so many thing you can do. But as soon as you get use to it, it works like a charm.

Alternatives Considered
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.
