Straightforward to set up and good support but needs to be on the cloud
I've used the solution for patch management and some fixing after other scanning and testing. We try to do the fixing from a single console under a single patch to improve efficiency It can provide good snapshots.  With other products, I have to write my own scripts. With this solution, I do not…

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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"What has been most valuable is the ability to manage, restore and install upgrades and applications. We scan PCs and server and receive results."
"Ivanti Security Controls is a better solution than SCCM."
"Technical support is helpful and responsive."
"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."
"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 It shows me which PCs are out of date or which users are breaching our policies.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."
"You can create remote sessions for client systems."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is centralized management."
"It does not restart unexpectedly, allowing automation anytime, even during weekends."
"It is a highly stable solution."
"ManageEngine Patch Manager Plus is lightweight and has a remote push feature that helps me manage several main sites and subsites."
"I rate the overall solution a ten out of ten."
 

Cons

"It should be more scalable."
"Ivanti Security Controls is a powerful product, but it has quite a steep learning curve."
"For the Windows upgrade, the errors we experience are not clear. We see a time out error but do not know the reason. We would like to know the root cause."
"I find the user interface a little bit intimidating and not very appealing."
"Patching over the Internet should be improved. If I am traveling, I should have an Internet patching option for control, visibility, and vulnerability management for roaming users."
"There are limitations to this solution when we are working with iOS, Apple laptops or desktops such as the Mac and iMac."
"The only area for improvement in ManageEngine Patch Manager Plus, which I noticed, is the reporting."
"If a report shows that testing did not work for one version but succeeds for another, a comparison would be beneficial."
"The solution's UI is an area that requires improvement."
"The agent can be a bit more intelligent."
"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."
