Pros

“This software takes WSUS and dominates it, that is the best way I can explain it. The reports you can get are accurate and amazing.”

Jason Z.

Applications Administrator

“3Th party patchmanagement is also very important, not only Windows updates. Take over machines from the same portal/dashboard, as integration for our servicedesk works also nice.”

Bart H.

Sr. Accountmanager

“Automatization of patches and updates is a bliss with this software. Suitable for large eviroments or small ones.”

Miguel N.

Information Technology Project Manager & Quality Assurance

Cons

“Every once in a while some devices, loose connection or is mis-configured, but after a few tweaks your back to patching as usual. Which is setup up and monitor if devices are patching.”

Manny P.

Network Administrator

“Can be a bit awkward to navigate around, but once used a few times you know where parts are located.”

Daniel R.

Field Service Engineer

“It depends solely on WSUS. That of course includes all the problems associated with WSUS.”
