Allows us to set maintenance windows and deliver patches
We can set a maintenance window and push the patch. I prefer writing scripts, doing software deployment, pushing it, and distributing applications in servers for the corner of the whole location. We download patches from Ivanti, and it collaborates with more than 700 products. For third-party applications, we download the patches, set a role in our environment, and push it using the maintenance window time and activation date. For software deployment, we receive the service request to install and prepare scripts and then push it in many locations according and relevant to the service request for each location. The group or collection devices are affected by the policy.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The most valuable feature of GFI LanGuard is its email spam feature."
"The initial setup was easy."
"The most valuable feature is that I am able to patch third-party solutions."
"The most valuable features of GFI LanGuard are the vulnerability assessment, it provides us with substantial insight into what applications are running on the endpoint systems and what vulnerabilities are there in the running applications. The second would be the assets tracking. I'm able to see in the network whether my endpoint server is operating and if all the other IT equipment is running in the environment. Additionally, GFI LanGuard is not heavy on system resources. It gives a competitive advantage over others."
"The solution is easy to use and integrates well with other operating systems."
"I like that the solution can block users from unnecessarily putting devices on the network."
"The most valuable features in GFI LanGuard are patch management and vulnerability assessment."
"This product is a great solution at a great price as long as it is only going to be used for a local area network."
"The technical support from Ivanti is good."
"I like the product's Peer to Peer patching feature."
"I have found the interface and ease of use valuable features. Additionally, it is very easy to patch VMs and other systems, such a Linux. We are able to do patches even without the internet manually."
"The most valuable features are device management and support for upgrading applications."
"It is very easy to use, as well as extremely efficient and accurate."
"Ivanti Patch's most valuable features are the patch module and the package distribution."
"The solution is a good product and I have heard that the interface is more friendly than that of Windows."
"We can set a maintenance window and push the patch."
 

Cons

"This solution is limited to the local area network only and cannot manage remote devices."
"GFI LanGuard can improve by adding more modules, such as asset control or asset inventory."
"GFI LanGuard has some technical limitations with machines."
"If GFI LanGuard had a cloud version it would be better for people that are working from home."
"The version we are using only allows one person to use it at a time and does not allow multi-users."
"GFI LanGuard can improve by adding asset tracking."
"The only drawback with GFI LanGuard is that you cannot directly integrate it from the Outlook email; instead, you have to first log in to the site to make changes."
"When you want to uninstall software from an endpoint, sometimes it becomes very problematic."
"The product's support and configuration need to improve. It needs to be more scalable."
"Ivanti Patch could be improved with better integration with other cloud solutions."
"The reports have to show the compliance level of the patching, which Ivanti does not provide."
"There are times when there is an update that causes some issues. These issues should be sorted out before the release."
"In terms of improvement, I would recommend better documentation. During the time I used it, there were issues with up-to-date patching, and the documentation around those specific errors was quite confusing."
"Customers sometimes ask about non-existent features, and we pass these requests on to Ivanti."
"Ivanti Neurons Patch for Intune needs to improve stability. We had issues with patching."
"I would like to have better support for the application."
