Pros

“The product does a very good job of simplifying patch operations by allowing administrators to manage the Windows updates, Linux patching, macOS updates and third-party applications from a single console.”

Mirza B.

Asst IT Manager

“The ease and navigation of the system allows myself, as a Sr Network Administrator assists with rapid deployment based on endpoints needing patches based on criticality.”

Bryan R.

Senior Network Administrator

“ManageEngine Patch Manager Plus is a capable and relatively easy-to-use patch management solution that delivers solid value, particularly for teams managing distributed endpoint environments.”

Ye M.

DevOps

Pros

“Allows for timely updates to OS across all our employees devices, and helped us keep track of and have the ability to lock down a machine if lost or stolen.”

Rich Y.

CTO

“Very flexible blueprints for our Mac network - allows me to customise a range of use cases from a large pre-built library, plus add my own custom items.”

Garth H.

Director

“One of the key strengths for us was the ability to assign permissions based on our RBAC roles, allowing appropriate access across the team while maintaining governance and security.”

Chaz V.

Infrastructure Engineer

Cons

“There is insufficient in-product guidance or documentation on the configurable parameters for the USEMS agent, such as scan schedule, CPU throttling, private key management, remote office connectivity, and other tunable variables.”

Ye M.

DevOps

“However, the Security and Vulnerability Management area may need further improvement, as the failed update rate remains high even when users proactively check for updates through the Self Service Portal.”

Tu T.

Assistant Manager

“No option to adjust the refresh cycle, which limits flexibility for teams with specific operational requirements.”

Ye M.

DevOps

Cons

“Some warning messages are not describing the actual issue: e.g. if a user tries to install an app themselves on a MacBook, using a .DMG file (which is basically forbidden in our case), there's no error, but a warning regarding the non-encryption of the mounted disk.”

Alain F.

Sr. Software and Security Engineer

“The inability to assign smart groups to library items, the lack of blueprint routing, and the absence of options to clear specific tags or reset a device to a default blueprint when deleted are known limitations.”
