"Powerful Patching Tools at an Affordable Price"

5/5

What do you like best about ManageEngine Patch Manager Plus?

I am still running a trial but so far I am very impressed with ManageEngine Patch Manager Plus. What I really like about it is how it makes patch management super easy. It automatically handles updates for different operating systems and applications, which helps keep our systems safe and current. Plus, the detailed reports and flexible scheduling options give us great control and insight into our patching tasks. We were missing the detailed reporting from our prior software throught a MSP. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ManageEngine Patch Manager Plus?

Some features, like automating deployments, might take a little of time to learn and get used to. Figuring out the best settings for my company can be tricky. A walkthrough wizard that asks questions and helps set up the environment based on your needs would be really helpful if it had it. I'm still learning the system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is ManageEngine Patch Manager Plus solving and how is that benefiting you?

ManageEngine Patch Manager Plus does a great job managing OS and third-party app updates, making sure our systems are always up-to-date with the latest security patches.
