Helps to do monthly updates for Microsoft and other third-party products
The Ivanti Neurons for Patch Intelligence's most valuable feature is simplicity. When deployed in our environment, the standout aspect is the ease of installation across different offices. For example, in a location with 150 users, we only need to install the agent on one machine. From there, it scans the entire network, identifying components on computers, laptops, desktops, and more. We can view the results and easily push updates.

Consolidates vulnerability discovery, prioritization, and remediation in a single platform
Vicarius vRx offers several advantages, especially for organizations with diverse operating systems and applications requiring frequent patching. The platform helps prioritize patch installation by identifying high-risk vulnerabilities, allowing IT teams to focus on critical threats first. This prioritization is crucial because it prevents IT teams from being overwhelmed by the constant influx of patches, enabling them to create a manageable plan and allocate resources effectively. By distinguishing between critical, high-risk, and medium-risk vulnerabilities, Vicarius vRx empowers IT teams to address the most urgent threats promptly and schedule less critical patches for later. Both native operating system updates and Vicarius vRx offer vulnerability remediation. Native OS updates allow for the patching of system vulnerabilities on Windows, macOS, and Linux. However, Vicarius vRx provides a single solution for installing both operating system and application updates by also discovering application vulnerabilities. Another valuable feature is virtual patching, which allows us to protect an asset from a specific vulnerability without installing a patch. Sometimes, installing a patch alone is insufficient and requires restarting the asset. However, production servers often cannot be restarted during the day, restricting restarts to specific timeslots. Virtual patching creates a network-based protection layer that prevents exploitation of a vulnerability, offering a temporary safeguard. While not a foolproof solution for long-term use, it's a valuable tool that reduces tension between IT and security teams by providing time to properly install patches.

Pros

"The Ivanti Neurons for Patch Intelligence's most valuable feature is simplicity. When deployed in our environment, the standout aspect is the ease of installation across different offices. For example, in a location with 150 users, we only need to install the agent on one machine. From there, it scans the entire network, identifying components on computers, laptops, desktops, and more. We can view the results and easily push updates."
"The prioritization of the vulnerabilities and patches that we must apply immediately is valuable. The automation of the tasks allows us to spend less time in that area."
"Vicarius vRx has reduced 70% of the time we spend on patching."
"Vicarius vRx's ability to patch third-party software is particularly valuable for us."
"Third-party software patching is the most valuable feature."
"The most efficient feature of Vicarius vRx is the ability to group assets, such as by time zone, allowing for targeted patching and streamlined management."
"Vicarius vRx consolidates vulnerability discovery, prioritization, and remediation in a single platform."
"Agent-based scanning is the most valuable feature."
"Vicarius vRx has reduced our mean time to remediate vulnerabilities by 20%."
 

Cons

"Ivanti Neurons for Patch Intelligence needs to improve reporting."
"Vicarius vRx's application management capabilities could be improved by allowing users to manage and uninstall applications directly within the GUI, eliminating the need for scripting and streamlining the process."
"Areas that need improvement include the CPU usage and the delay between sending updates and receiving feedback on their status."
"I would like to see more network architecture elements with patches."
"I don't like logging in. The portal could be a better process. You could use some third-party push notification rather than sending an email, waiting for the link to generate, and clicking on it. That would be good. It's somewhat frustrating when I need to log in."
"We are now in the process of trying to get our money back because the tool does not work."
"The patchless protection feature is currently difficult to understand and could be made more user-friendly."
"Another complaint we've gotten is that the portal doesn't remember your username and password. You tell them your email, and it sends an invitation. You need to click that, and it takes you to a new portal, where you can finally log in. Maybe it's a security precaution, but it seems like a lot of extra steps to log in."
"Based on the request from our clients, it would be great to have an MDM solution. If they can manage vulnerabilities on mobile devices too, that would be great. Having scripting capabilities on mobile devices would be very useful. That was the request we had from lots of clients."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I rate the tool's pricing a six out of ten."
"In the past, Vicarius vRx was cheap, but now they have adjusted their pricing policy, resulting in higher renewal costs. We have had some conversations with them regarding a smaller jump in the renewal cost."
"The pricing was very reasonable and fair compared to other products. I liked that there was no tiered system. One price gave access to everything, which is nice. It is not something you get too often with enterprise IT."
"Vicarius vRx is reasonably priced."
"The price of vRx seems fair. None of our clients complained about the pricing. They all thought it was reasonable. Once people understood what it does, it didn't take much to get them to sign up."
"The pricing is great because we are a reseller of the product. It is really up to us and Vicarius, and they are very easy to work with."
"I know we got it for a very cheap price, and I now see why. It was very cheap. It was maybe 12,000 or 14,000 dollars."
"Vicarius vRx's per-asset pricing makes it easy for me to market to clients as it scales with their needs."
"From a pricing perspective, Vicarius was cheaper compared to other competitors."
