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.

Has a lot of backend issues and doesn't work the way we thought it would
We did some automation. We kicked off scheduled updates to update our systems, but it did not work. When we attempted to scale the product and update multiple systems, we ran into a lot of issues. We also ran into the issue of it creating double assets. I am not sure how that happened, but it was a mess and still is a mess. That is where we are. They should probably go back to the drawing board and make sure that they can patch Linux. In our environment, we are 99% Linux. They may need to build their own lab and have a lot of Linux devices. They can have old different Linux systems and 50 or 60 of them and attempt to do an update in their own lab and see what happens. I am still not sure if that would give them a true test because we have systems here with Docker containerization and all kinds of things on it. They will have to mimic what some of these environments will look like. I am pretty sure that the tool works great when it comes to Windows, but when you are in an environment that has different flavors of Linux at different version levels, that may pose an issue.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I have found the interface and ease of use valuable features. Additionally, it is very easy to patch VMs and other systems, such a Linux. We are able to do patches even without the internet manually."
"We use the solution for security patching of Windows devices."
"Ivanti Patch's most valuable features are the patch module and the package distribution."
"I like the product's Peer to Peer patching feature."
"Both in terms of features and operations, this is a good solution."
"We can set a maintenance window and push the patch."
"The solution is a good product and I have heard that the interface is more friendly than that of Windows."
"The technical support from Ivanti is good."
"The most valuable features of vRx would be virtualized patching and severity prioritization."
"Patchless Protection helps protect us from vulnerabilities that may not yet have patches from the manufacturer. I've used it for a piece of software that we don't have a patch for. It monitors that software, analyzes it, and makes sure nothing nefarious is going on when it's vulnerable."
"Agent-based scanning is the most valuable feature."
"Vicarius vRx has reduced our mean time to remediate vulnerabilities by 20%."
"Third-party software patching is the most valuable feature."
"Vicarius vRx's primary strength is its user-friendly interface."
"The dashboard is quite easy to manage. The automation aspect is also very valuable."
"The other products we looked at had patching tagged on another product, whereas this solely looked after the patching and vulnerabilities, which is good. We did not see any other products with such capability."
 

Cons

"Ivanti Patch could be improved with better integration with other cloud solutions."
"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."
"The reports have to show the compliance level of the patching, which Ivanti does not provide."
"I tried to be a partner of Ivanti and, from this vantage point, the quotes are, perhaps, a bit high."
"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."
"I would like to have better support for the application."
"Ivanti Neurons Patch for Intune needs to improve stability. We had issues with patching."
"The product's support and configuration need to improve. It needs to be more scalable."
"Unlike previous vulnerability management systems that relied on network scanning appliances to discover and assess endpoints, Vicarius' agent-based approach is less effective for devices like switches, routers, and printers where agent installation is impractical."
"There can be more scripting capability and more filtering capability. We should be able to filter more granular details in the operating system such as whether it is a service, application, executable, or something like that. For the most part, we are satisfied with what we are able to filter."
"It would be good if there were more login options. At the moment, it sends you an email to verify your email address, and then you can log in. It would be beneficial to have other options for signing in, like MFA or maybe security keys, especially since it is a security product."
"The user interface for deploying patches can be improved, as it appears complicated when launching patches."
"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."
"I would be happy if the patch update could be downloaded to the Vicarius server and then implemented on the client. Currently, they just send a link to the software."
"We had an outage due to a change Vicarius performed in their system."
"Areas that need improvement include the CPU usage and the delay between sending updates and receiving feedback on their status."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is affordable."
"The solution is expensive compared to other products."
"The license can get expensive if you have a lot of nodes."
"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."
"I do not use other solutions, so I cannot compare its pricing to others, but its price seems okay."
"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."
"I am not sure how much it costs, but it would have saved us some costs."
"Vicarius' pricing was reasonable compared to the other systems we evaluated."
"Vicarius vRx offers a competitive price point for the features it provides."
"It is in the middle. It is not the cheapest solution, but it is also not terribly expensive. We found it to be a good fit. It is fairly priced."
"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."
"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."
