Wont be disappointed with ManageEngine Patch Manger Plus
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.
