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.

A quite straightforward solution that works easily with different operating systems

Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten. When the use of the solution for customers grows, there is a need for more endpoints, and it may grow up to 500 endpoints, and the solution's use may even be scaled up further. It is possible to do what is needed to scale up the solution for the IT environments of any of our company's customers. Before scaling up, one needs to buy the license and consider the IT architecture to see if there are any modifications required in the solution. Around three of my company's customers who manage enterprise-sized businesses with a minimum requirement of 700 endpoints at least use the solution.

Quotes from Members

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

"We can set a maintenance window and push the patch."

"The technical support from Ivanti is good."

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."

"I tried to be a partner of Ivanti and, from this vantage point, the quotes are, perhaps, a bit high."

"Customers sometimes ask about non-existent features, and we pass these requests on to Ivanti."

"Ivanti Patch could be improved with better integration with other cloud solutions."

"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."

"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."

"The product's support and configuration need to improve. It needs to be more scalable."

More Ivanti Neurons Patch for Intune cons

"I think ManageEngine Patch Manager Plus could improve its testing capabilities. If they could test different SQL versions and server versions in their sandbox, it would be better. For example, it didn't work well with Server 2012, but it works fine with 2016 and up."

"I find the user interface a little bit intimidating and not very appealing."

"The agent can be a bit more intelligent."

"The cloud version should have option to add all the endpoints using the agent. Not only for Windows, but also the Linux version. There are some versions which are not compatible with SaaS Manager. So some customers do not want to use the latest version of Linux latest version of CentOS. Actually, CentOS is not available. But some are using and patch manager is compatible for some versions only, not older older versions. So there are some pros and cons that are referred to patch management."

"I experienced issues with server 2012, which required an upgrade to 2016 for better functionality before moving to Azure."

"The solution's UI is an area that requires improvement."

"They should add better features for managing hardware."

"The solution's initial setup is not straightforward, and we have to customize it with our relevant features."

More ManageEngine Patch Manager Plus cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The license can get expensive if you have a lot of nodes."

"The solution is affordable."

"Our licensing fees are on a yearly basis, and the charge for support is extra."
