The reporting features are great for keeping track of which computers and when they were patched. Can patch manually or remotely. Alerts to failed patches and completed patching is a great feature so we know when a problem is needed to be resolved or looked into. > > **Cons**: It can take a little time to set it up and test. Configuring and making sure systems are installed, etc. > > Positive and highly recommend for either a larger business with inhouse IT, or for MSP's looking for a patching solution. ----- ### "Solarwinds patchmanagement takes over Windows auto update" — 4.0/5 > **Bart** | *October 24, 2022* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: Dashboard features with all customer and the machines, as MSP very important. Microsoft can't do this with Windows Autopatch. 3Th party patchmanagement is also very important, not only Windows updates. Take over machines from the same portal/dashboard, as integration for our servicedesk works also nice\! > > **Cons**: The price and sometimes it takes a lot of time to manage the software and updates for our customers. > > We sell Solarwinds patchmanagent for all our customers, specially to take over the Windows update proces as Managed Service Provider. Very happy since we use this tool\! ----- ### "Too complex to be deployed" — 1.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *December 4, 2018* | Hospitality | Recommendation rating: 2.0/10 > > **Pros**: Support. I've had nothing but problems with this software, when I was trying to get it to work in my multiple site environment. Support team was very attentive and helpful, trying to help me to overcome the problems. Apparently, my environment was too complex for this solution. > > **Cons**: Complexity. The software may work well in a single site environment, however in my case with 10+ sites with WSUS at each location I wasn't able to get it to work at all. > > Great idea implementation to automate 3rd party updates application. However in my case, I wasn't able to get it to work. I was only able to successfully deploy updates in a single site environment, but wasn't able to expand it to all the sites. After days of help, support team had to acknowledge that the product wasn't chosen right for my environment. ----- ### "Patch the easy way." — 5.0/5 > **Manny** | *January 14, 2018* | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I have been using this software for over 4 years and every year it get's better and better. Patch updating is so simple, that all you do is setup once and it automatically adapts to roles for any other device you add onto your console. > > **Cons**: Every once in a while some devices, loose connection or is mis-configured, but after a few tweaks your back to patching as usual. Which is setup up and monitor if devices are patching. > > It's the best way for IT Administrator's to start moving to cloud. ----- ### "If you do not have patch manager then you are not doing it right..." — 5.0/5 > **Jeremy** | *February 1, 2018* | Mining & Metals > > **Pros**: allows for non windows applications to be patched and installed with Windows updates WSUS. It simplifies the update interface but still keeps true to WSUS > > **Cons**: It was harder to install and configure correctly. Once it was done its a wonderful tool but can be a challenge to install the first time. ----- Page: 1 / 2\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.ca/software/182264/patch-manager?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.ca/software/182264/patch-manager) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
