Microsoft Windows Server Update Services Reviews

The primary use case of this solution is to minimize the data flow from outside.

The interface is easy to use.

Many areas need improvement and many features don't work.

The clean up feature doesn't work. It's doesn't delete old updates that are not needed anymore.

The configuration process needs improvement, as it is not very good. The integration with Windows 10 was difficult, and a bit tricky.

The old backup files created by this solution use up a lot of storage, and this needs to be improved.

This solution would meet my needs if these issues would not occur every month.

We have between one hundred and one hundred and fifty users.

We have not used any technical support.

The initial setup was complex.

The deployment took three to four hours to complete.

The implementation of this solution was not done through any vendor, integrator, or consultant; I implemented it myself.

The pricing is ok. I don't have any issues with the pricing.

The integration is included in the Windows Server system, and there are no additional fees.

I am not satisfied with this solution. There are constant issues and most of the time it doesn't work.

I would rate this solution a four out of ten.

We primarily use this for deploying and downloading through systems and servers. 

It provides central management interface for deployment.

The most valuable feature is the integration of updates with our AD management. You can make an easy policy, embed WSUS, and in that actual policy we can embed to the extent to any device that generates gets automatic downloads from WSUS.

I would want the GUI on the continuing interface of the WSUS and more fine grain control. I don't want full blown enterprises. I want another object deployment, in a different kind of way that the enterprise just doesn't provide for me right now.

It is quite stable.

It is quite scalable. You can integrate it with your organization. It can be scalable to what you have set it to be.

I have not used tech support.

The initial setup was quite straightforward.

The ability to have more fine control within this solution is very important. It is not available for the solution in its current state.

The use case for this solution is to update machines with controlled versions to prevent crashes on applications.

The product reduced the number of crashes on our applications that were not able to use the latest versions of Windows updates. This allowed me to control it and reduce the time restoring machines or installing applications.

We need control over the versions of Windows to test them before using them on our network.

I don't have any notes on improvements.

I've used the solution for some time.

I can control everything in the same place, and it's nice.

I used support for Office in the past and it has been good.

Positive

I've just used this solution.

At first, it was hard to set up. However, after some time, we learned how to deploy without problems.

I used to do the setup by myself without anyone helping.

We reduced the number of crashes on our applications that were not able to use the latest versions of Windows updates. It reduced the time of restoring machines or installing applications.

Microsoft is expensive, at least in my country. However, it's offering good value for money. It's not a crazy price.

I would recommend WSUS for update management. I's rate the solution ten out of ten.
