Ivanti Patch for Linux, UNIX, Mac [EOL] Reviews

We use Ivanti Patch to develop our website and post that website in the Linux OS, which is Ubuntu 20.04. With the software, we used to install Apache, MySQL, and other dependencies.

The website development section is the most valuable feature of the solution. We have clients in the United States and the United Kingdom. We used to develop products and program the solution for them.

The better way to improve the solution is by working on an area where it lacks, which includes the migration part. Currently, on Amazon AWS, we have hosted all the websites. It is fine to migrate from AWS to another platform, like Azure or Pantheon.

I feel there is room for improvement when it comes to the migration part and its integration with AWS.

I have been using Ivanti Patch for around six years. I work with Ivanti's Ubuntu 20.04.

It is a stable product.

There is no huge traffic for our websites, so we don't concentrate on scalability.

Including backend users, there will be around 25 to 40 users of the solution in my company.

The tool is used on a daily basis. One of our clients in one of the European countries has around 2,000 websites, so we migrate on a daily basis or at least once or twice a week.

As for technical support, we don't use it since we also provide technical support for the solution. Ivanti's technical support contacts us for any technical queries. We don't rely on technical support from Ivanti.

The initial setup is straightforward.

The time taken for deployment for the website depends on the website code files and database. It may take four hours to eight hours for a single site to migrate from another solution.

We used to do the migration from the cloud only and not on-premises.

For deployment, we used to compress the code files, and using SFTP, we used to transfer the files. We then configure the same with that, and after transferring the code files, we used to have the UAT, staging, and production URL. Once everything is fine, we will switch the DNS for the live website.

For the deployment and maintenance, we need support from the client's side and from the management side to make the DNS switch. We also need help from third-party vendors to provide access.

The solution is not expensive. It is cheaper than other solutions. The solution is open-source, so we do not need any licensing.

I would tell those planning to use the solution not to attach anything on the live production website since it may cause the website to go down. Whatever you do, you do on the UAT or the staging side. Once everything's fine, then test the production code file in the database. Take precautionary methods to test the live website.

Overall, I rate the solution a nine out of ten.

Ivanti Patch for Linux, UNIX, and Mac helps to ensure that everything is up to date. 

I have been working with the product for 30 years. 

The solution is stable. 

My company has 12 users. 

The tool's deployment is straightforward and can be done in hours. 

The tool's deployment can be done in-house. 

I rate the tool a nine out of ten. 

I use the solution to manage the accesses for the users, provide specific permissions, and verify identities. 

The tool is a stable product. 

The tool needs to improve its visual system. 

I would rate the product's stability a ten out of ten. 

I would rate the solution's scalability a nine out of ten. My company has 30,000 users around the world. 

The product's setup is easy. 

I would rate the overall solution a nine out of ten. 

The solution is mostly used by my customers that are using Windows machines. For them, it's the only other way other than collecting the fixes from Red Hat itself, for example, and then deploying it manually.

The most aspect of the solution is the scanning. The software will scan the endpoint, and it can pick up anything security-wise up there. 

For security reasons, you need to scan all the invoices every day. If you didn't have the software, you'd need to scan every day and you'd need to do everything manually. Sometimes the update may go wrong or cause the server to crash. With the software, you can pick the testing that you can do before you deploy it into production, to avoid issues.

The solution is easy to implement.

The view of the security could be better.

The solution can be quite expensive, compared to other options on the market.

I've been dealing with the solution for two years at this point. It hasn't been too long,

While I just sell the solution, and I don't directly deploy it, I can say with certainty that the initial setup is not complex. It's pretty straightforward. Users shouldn't have issues implementing it.

Compared to other software options, this is not exactly a cheap solution. However, the value you get is good, and therefore it's worth the cost.

We are resellers of the product. However, we are not partners with Ivanti.

We generally use the latest version of the solution, for the most part.

I'd recommend this solution to other organizations. It's quite effective and easy to implement.

Overall, I would rate the solution at a seven out of ten.
