Keeping servers updated while encountering documentation issues and time zone delays in support
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. Sometimes I had to uninstall, reinstall, or engage technical support, which took a lot of time. It would be helpful if the documentation could easily help us fix bugs on our own.

Centralized patching has unified multi‑OS management and delivers detailed security reporting
Based on my experience, a better function would be to address the problem that the product only scans a machine once a day. It has a central scanning activity that scans every laptop for changes in assets, meaning both hardware and software, as well as installed software for patches. However, this activity works only once per day and does not work on local time. If you are a global organization with the UK office and a colleague in the US, for example, and you set the task at 11:00 AM UK time, that translates to 6:00 AM in the US East Coast. If that colleague's laptop is on, the task completes; otherwise, it fails. This represents a major drawback because the task does not run on the local time of the system. Regarding the ability to create multiple tasks, you cannot create them, which is another significant issue. Only one task exists for these two activities. That one task performs both the hardware and software scanning for any changes and also conducts a patch scan. Both activities occur through the same task, but the problem is that if you have a global user base, this becomes a bottleneck.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Ivanti Patch is far better than other solutions."
"I like the product's Peer to Peer patching feature."
"The technical support from Ivanti is good."
"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 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."
"This is an extremely robust product, very easy to use, as well as extremely efficient and accurate, and most of our customers just set it and forget it while it does all of the automatic patching month after month."
"Its features are very complete."
"The automated patch deployment feature is really helpful. I can schedule it anytime, even on weekends, without needing to restart systems. The centralized management and unified console are great. It shows me which PCs are out of date or which users are breaching our policies. I can test patches before deploying them."
"The solution has provided the ability to pull updates directly in and push them to the server, which makes it easier for us to complete the patching in a short period of time."
"ManageEngine Patch Manager Plus covers almost all my end devices, and I can easily look over my device's hardware status."
"The integration with both Linux and Microsoft systems is seamless."
"The solution's technical support is top-notch. Whenever I have a question, they get back to me immediately, which is probably one of the best features of the solution's technical support."
"The best features in ManageEngine Patch Manager Plus are the connectivity across different platforms, such as connectivity with Rapid7, connectivity with CrowdStrike, and connectivity with the SIEM solution."
"The fetch repository is a good feature."
"The ability to deploy patches seamlessly is the solution's most valuable aspect. It allows us to not only deploy patches but to monitor the deployment of those patches."
 

Cons

"It's a difficult configuration because you need to install many servers in a location, and you have to install the primary server in the main location."
"There are times when there is an update that causes some issues. These issues should be sorted out before the release."
"The reports have to show the compliance level of the patching, which Ivanti does not provide."
"Ivanti Neurons Patch for Intune needs to improve stability. We had issues with patching."
"The product's support and configuration need to improve. It needs to be more scalable."
"I would like to have better support for the application."
"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."
"Ivanti Patch could be improved with better integration with other cloud solutions."
"The ability to do out of network patching needs to be added to the solution."
"There is one area that confuses me and can use a lot of improvement in ManageEngine Patch Manager Plus."
"Based on my experience, a better function would be to address the problem that the product only scans a machine once a day."
"With the integration with the SIEM solution, there are some glitches, and if we need to integrate with multiple vulnerability management systems, it does not provide such support."
"The solution should have a customer label where we can label those servers or include those servers for specific customers."
"There are limitations to this solution when we are working with iOS, Apple laptops or desktops such as the Mac and iMac."
"Patching over the Internet should be improved."
"The agent can be a bit more intelligent."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is expensive compared to other products."
"The license can get expensive if you have a lot of nodes."
"The solution is affordable."
"While the price is a bit high, it may be equitable with the features one gets with the product, such as that involving the interface."
"For the one that works with SCCM, it is relatively inexpensive at $8 USD per node, yearly. The standalone product has two versions; the one that patches servers is about $45 USD annually and the version that patches workstations is about half that price at $22 USD."
"ManageEngine Patch Manager Plus is a little bit cheaper."
"Patch Manager is cost-effective."
"Its price needs improvement."
"The pricing for ManageEngine Patch Manager Plus is on the moderate side."
"I rate the product price a three on a scale of one to ten, where one is low price and ten is high price."
"The solution cost is around $5,000 per year."
"Our licensing fees are on a yearly basis, and the charge for support is extra."
"The price of this product is reasonable."
