Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Manage Engine patch Manager to deploy operating system and other application patches released by OEM to safegaurd application from getting infected by malicious activity or possible hacking attempt. Automating using this application reduced manual intervention and team is more productive.

Pros

  • Patching Office application for latest updates whenever they are released.
  • Automating this process, helps team to concentrate on other tasks.
  • Overall this reduces response time, quick deployment at schedule time.

Cons

  • If this tool can fetch serial numbers of the devices on which this is deployed
  • This tool should collect all application installed at client machine which is not available as of now.
  • Intergate more application which can be patch using this tool.

Return on Investment

  • Although this is quite expensive which every organization couldn't afford to have.
  • For big enterprises cost versus ROI is justified.
  • For us using ManageEngine Patch Manager Plus serve the purpose and meet our objectives.

Wont be disappointed with ManageEngine Patch Manger Plus

Sales and IT Coordinator in Information Technology at Ambico (51-200 employees employees)

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use ManageEngine Patch Manager Plus to automatically update our OS and applications during on- or off-hours. We had issues having our staff members update their computers; either they forgot or didn't bother. This software does that work, allowing our IT department to focus on more pressing IT needs and freeing up more time for their breaks.

Pros

  • Auto patching does its work
  • Easy-to-use browser portal interface
  • Portal reporting is simple to work with

Cons

  • Forcefully install the updates (e.g. MS Office apps), but warn the user doing so.
  • Remind (via a notification) the users to reboot every 15 mins even though they have already shut the counter down.
  • I wish we could update more than 50 computers manually at a time via the portal

Return on Investment

  • Our IT staff member's workload has decreased.
  • The IT staff member can focus more on their IT priorities
  • Data is the most important asset that the company has, and protection via automatic updates is a priority.

Some of them are reported by our vulnerability management tool, but ManageEngine Patch Manager Plus helps us to keep both the operating system and the applications installed on the computer updated.

  • Possibility of remediating failed patches better
  • Improve overall usability of the tool
