PMPC has enabled me to keep up with all of those ancillary applications that every company uses, but no one actually "owns." The OS, Office, your EDR, probably your security software - someone in the organization understands and manages their upgrade cycle. But what about 7-Zip? Notpad++? PuTTY? And not only patching, but it will create and distribute the applications as they are updated. We used to have a quarterly packaging session where we'd go out and see what the current version of these ownerless apps was and replace what we had. No more are we deploying 90day old Google Chrome that then needs to upgrade after the first launch.

Patch My is super easy to use. It saves a ton time by just being able to specify the apps we want to keep up to date and then handling the rest for us. It is a set it and forget it method. There are also tons of controls for when and how to update things, as well as grandular controls for each app. It takes the headache out of keeping software for a large org up to date. We use it for all of our Windows machines. The app catalog is exstensive and we very rarely come across an app that isn't already in there. Customer support was great when we had an issue and very prompt.

This tooling allows to bring patching of 3rd party software within our main patch tooling with SCCM. This allows automation of the packages, simplification of distribution to our servers, and removes the manual downloads and processing of each.. This has helped tremendously with maintaing current revisions on a monthly basis wher before each was a project to track and deploy..
