ManageEngine Patch Manager Plus

Vorteile

Unternehmensstrukturen und Niederlassungen lassen sich sehr gut skalieren. Durch die manuell erstellbaren Bereitstellungsrichtlinien können problemlos auch innerhalb einer Niederlassung verschiedenste Patch-Windows eingerichtet werden. Damit spüren Mitarbeiter oft gar nicht, dass ihre Systeme bereits aktualisiert wurden.

Nachteile

Es war ein wenig umständlich sich mit den Verteilungsmechanismen per GPO durchzusetzen. Die Installation sollte gut durchdacht sein, sonst kann man schnell den Faden verlieren. - Letztlich heißt es aber nur, dass man für die Implementierung ruhig etwas Zeit einplanen sollte. (Wie bei jedem anderen IT-Projekt, und Produkt ;-))

Vorteile

RMM tools patch microsoft and some 3rd party products. The problem is, the number of applications with CVE's continues to grow and RMM patching is not keeping pace. PMP patches over 900 applications.

Nachteile

Complexity of the agent deployment and approvals. Policy and group configs are a bit counter intuitive.

Vorteile

Patch manager scan system thougroly and provide best report accordinlgy.

Nachteile

One thing I didn;t like is that, it not recognise all the pending patches severity.

Vorteile

I like that I can quickly see a condensed view of the patch installation progress for each endpoint.
I could also run a filter and show only limited results

Nachteile

Too many new build releases within a short period of time. This consumes too much time and the connected endpoints clients need to be updated as well. Due to remote work, users sometimes put off the updates until they are physically availabale at the office

Vorteile

- Very easy to deploy the agent out to users
- Lots of customisation around device scanning
- Lots of customisation around patching, OS and 3rd party

Nachteile

There isn't anything we don't like about Patch ManageEngine Manager Plus

Vorteile

Patch Manager Plus Cloud is a one-stop-shop for all our Windows and 3rd Party patch management needs. The ability to both automate and manually apply required updates around our schedule is what makes this solution great.

Although the granularity of the UI is useful, it can become a bit tedious to jump around from page to page to adjust settings/configs.

Vorteile

It is very simple to install the agent and get the newest patches and install them.

Maybe the tool should be more faster to install the patches

It does not interfere with the built-in patching capabilities.

Nachteile

The initial setup can be time-consuming, and the interface feels slightly outdated. A modernized UI would improve the user experience.

Vorteile

The automation of grouping devices and deploying updates was very simple. It was easy to implement throughout our network with adding the application to our imaging process. The ease of use and transparency has helped with updating and troubleshooting so much!

Nachteile

If there was something I like least, it would be the errors with the manual uploads. Certain applications, mostly 3rd party applications, don't update easily and will throw off reports.

It seamed to have some issues with the patches for Windows Server 2012 R2, but I wouldn't hold that against the product. Our fault for not upgrading these servers to more recent and stable builds.

If you set up your automatic deployments up correctly then you barely have to actually go into the solution to make changes, this is great if you need to comply with strict patching policies where you have to install patches within days of release.

Nachteile

We are a big AEC user so it would be great if it could also do Autodesk updates, but it cannot.

Vorteile

Cusomizable you were able to amend thresholds for healthy and vulnderable computers. Other features such as scheduled restarts

Nachteile

Although I had the cloud version I think the on prem solution would have been better

Vorteile

The patching system, policy, computer management

Nachteile

All features are best to need more time to explore all features

Vorteile

We have been using this tool for the last 1 year, we bought it to reduce vulnerabilities in all machines, and it helped to get it done in a few months, automated patch deployment also helped us to automate the patch process.

Third-party apps patching can be improved by adding more apps like Corel

Vorteile

intuitive interface.
logical config for groups.
install is very next > next > next
integrated with Tenable very easily which is a big bonus

still at the testing phase.
Have got PMP seeing all systems and it shows missing patches. it seems logical enough but having a couple of issues with the config to push out patches. however I haven't yet contacted support in any way which is my next step.

Vorteile

Easy to use and very detailed Report. The pricing is also feasible

Nachteile

Agent additions come at an additional price, there should be at least 2 agents to manage the account for free

Vorteile

Ease of deployment to all servers are workstations through manual deployments and auto-deployment rules. Third-party application deployment is a plus and the scanning regularly includes all the assets.

Nachteile

There are some limitations for Java updates as we need to upload the patches manually. Another issue is with some agent uninstallation from the clients. Some agents are stubborn and do not uninstall easily.

Vorteile

I really like the patch management system overall. Its has helped us patch machines for all non-microsoft products, as well as replaced our windows update service as well!

Nachteile

The only real negative is that if you do too much at once, the patching really slows down. But its not a big deal - you can work around it.

Vorteile

How easy it is to setup and push patches out to our systems.

Nachteile

It would be nice if we had access to sending customized scripts to uninstall patches or software.

Vorteile

Manage Engines Patch Manager Plus is an automated multi-OS patch management system that can be deployed on-premises or in the cloud according on our requirements.

It's convenient to get a fast overview of each endpoint's patch installation process. I could also display a limited set of results by using a filter.

Nachteile

Too many fresh builds were made available in too short a time. It takes too long, and you also have to update the linked endpoints. Users who work remotely may wait to get updates until they are in person at the workplace.

Learning the vast feature set could take some time.

Vorteile

I love that I can automatically approve and push out updates - in many ways, a true 'set it and forget it' application. Although I do I check in frequently to make sure our organization is in good shape.

Nachteile

There are a few places where the vocabulary is not the clearest, but generally speaking that's about it. Works very well and works across all platforms.

Vorteile

I would like to write this review to spread the benefits and share the experience of using the ManageEngine Patch Manager, this program allowed me to try managing the devices connected to the server make the necessary updates and know the technical details in a very smooth and easy way, I plan to acquire an annual license from this program for sure.

Nachteile

nothing I heat actually. but I am worried about if we can find the configuration that we did in the trial cloud version after we moved to the Cloud license version.

Vorteile

It makes it much easier to centralize the evaluation of patches to be applied.

Nachteile

I haven't been able to find any negative points in using the tool so far.

Vorteile

Patching system automatically and antivirus update

Nachteile

third party patches deployement require more effort

Vorteile

Automated Patch Deployment really important feature for IT administrator

Nachteile

Reboot pending device information coming from "Deployed patch". Maybe this requirement can be control from managed device directly in the same time. Maybe can be use 2 method in the same time.

Vorteile

ManageEngine PMP has saved us a lot of time and resources. We would definitely recommend it for any company looking to streamline the patching process!

Nachteile

Can't add in 3rd party software not on list

Vorteile

It allows for automated scans and deployment.

Nachteile

It shouldn't detect patches and affect compliance for systems that are EOL and without ESU licence.
