Keeping servers updated while encountering documentation issues and time zone delays in support
In terms of improvement, I would recommend better documentation. During the time I used it, there were issues with up-to-date patching, and the documentation around those specific errors was quite confusing. Sometimes I had to uninstall, reinstall, or engage technical support, which took a lot of time. It would be helpful if the documentation could easily help us fix bugs on our own.

Supports security compliance through automated patching and seamless customer service
The solution supports patching not only Microsoft products but also non-Microsoft products, which is beneficial for me. It also helps in updating custom applications I use from a point-of-sale perspective. The software covers platform security and application security, ensuring everything is updated at the endpoint level. Automated patch deployment is used for all Active Directory servers. I have automated testing for patches by Microsoft and verify the status via email notifications. After a week, the automation process is applied to all activated servers to ensure upgrades and patches are implemented.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"We use the solution for security patching of Windows devices."
"The most valuable features are device management and support for upgrading applications."
"The solution is a good product and I have heard that the interface is more friendly than that of Windows."
"It is very easy to use, as well as extremely efficient and accurate."
"I like the product's Peer to Peer patching feature."
"We can set a maintenance window and push the patch."
"The technical support from Ivanti is good."
"Ivanti Patch's most valuable features are the patch module and the package distribution."
"The tool's most valuable feature is performance."
"The best features in ManageEngine Patch Manager Plus are the connectivity across different platforms, such as connectivity with Rapid7, connectivity with CrowdStrike, and connectivity with the SIEM solution."
"The ability to deploy patches seamlessly is the solution's most valuable aspect. It allows us to not only deploy patches but to monitor the deployment of those patches."
"I rate the overall solution a ten out of ten."
"Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"The integration with both Linux and Microsoft systems is seamless."
"The most valuable features are patch management and mobile device management."
"ManageEngine Patch Manager Plus covers almost all my end devices, and I can easily look over my device's hardware status."
 

Cons

"The reports have to show the compliance level of the patching, which Ivanti does not provide."
"Ivanti Neurons Patch for Intune needs to improve stability. We had issues with patching."
"There are times when there is an update that causes some issues. These issues should be sorted out before the release."
"Ivanti Patch could be improved with better integration with other cloud solutions."
"I would like to have better support for the application."
"Customers sometimes ask about non-existent features, and we pass these requests on to Ivanti."
"In terms of improvement, I would recommend better documentation. During the time I used it, there were issues with up-to-date patching, and the documentation around those specific errors was quite confusing."
"It's a difficult configuration because you need to install many servers in a location, and you have to install the primary server in the main location."
"The tool's support needs improvement."
"I find the user interface a little bit intimidating and not very appealing."
"Patching over the Internet should be improved. If I am traveling, I should have an Internet patching option for control, visibility, and vulnerability management for roaming users."
"I experienced issues with server 2012, which required an upgrade to 2016 for better functionality before moving to Azure."
"The cloud version should have option to add all the endpoints using the agent. Not only for Windows, but also the Linux version. There are some versions which are not compatible with SaaS Manager. So some customers do not want to use the latest version of Linux latest version of CentOS. Actually, CentOS is not available. But some are using and patch manager is compatible for some versions only, not older older versions. So there are some pros and cons that are referred to patch management."
"There are limitations to this solution when we are working with iOS, Apple laptops or desktops such as the Mac and iMac."
"The solution should have a customer label where we can label those servers or include those servers for specific customers."
"The solution's UI is an area that requires improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is expensive compared to other products."
"For the one that works with SCCM, it is relatively inexpensive at $8 USD per node, yearly. The standalone product has two versions; the one that patches servers is about $45 USD annually and the version that patches workstations is about half that price at $22 USD."
"While the price is a bit high, it may be equitable with the features one gets with the product, such as that involving the interface."
"The solution is affordable."
"The license can get expensive if you have a lot of nodes."
"Our licensing fees are on a yearly basis, and the charge for support is extra."
"The price of this product is reasonable."
"ManageEngine Patch Manager Plus is a little bit cheaper."
"I rate the price of the product a five on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."
"Patch Manager is cost-effective."
"I rate the product price a three on a scale of one to ten, where one is low price and ten is high price."
"Its price needs improvement."
"The solution cost is around $5,000 per year."
