Best Patch Management Software

Brandon Summers-Miller
BS
Researched and written by Brandon Summers-Miller

Patch management software are used to ensure that the components of a company’s software stack and IT infrastructure are up to date. These tools work by tracking updates of various software and middleware solutions. They then alert users of necessary updates or execute updates automatically. Companies seek out the best patch management software to reduce an employee’s responsibility to update their applications and ensure known vulnerabilities are remediated.

To qualify for inclusion in the Patch Management software category, a product must:

Maintain a database of software, middleware, and hardware updates
Alert users of new updates or patch software automatically
Inform administrators of endpoints and users utilizing out-of-date software
