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

"Technical support is helpful and responsive."
"What has been most valuable is the ability to manage, restore and install upgrades and applications. We scan PCs and server and receive results."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is centralized management."
"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."
"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."
"The initial setup was easy."
"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."
 

Cons

"It should be more scalable."
"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 experienced issues with server 2012, which required an upgrade to 2016 for better functionality before moving to Azure."
"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 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."
"The solution's UI is an area that requires improvement."
"They should add better features for managing hardware."
"The agent can be a bit more intelligent."
"The user interface of ManageEngine Patch Manager Plus needs to be made more user-friendly, simplified, and less complicated."
"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."
