Provides detection logic that tells us which customer will record an update and is less expensive than other solutions

I haven't had experience with customer service and support, however, we did have an advisory case with one of their technical support staff. We were publishing and getting the full metadata for the patch. We were getting the full updates for the patch release. There was confusion as to why we were seeing that in the SCCM, instead of in the full metadata patch. The support person was able to help us in understanding what we were doing wrong, highlighting it could be a certificate issue. We generated a new certificate, and after they were applied, the issue was fixed. Overall, I would rate their customer service and support a five out of five.

Integration capabilities streamline management but automation and GUI need improvements

While it's a good feature, it needs some improvement. Different patch manager competitors have functionality with AI inside, so if that could be integrated, it would be much easier for the end-user to manage it. We have not started using remote patching; it's only on-premises. The GUI needs improvement, which would make it better for users. 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. We need to opt for one vulnerability engine, for example, either Rapid7 integration or CrowdStrike integration.

"If a report shows that testing did not work for one version but succeeds for another, a comparison would be beneficial."

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

"Patching over the Internet should be improved."
