ManageEngine Patch Manager Plus
About ManageEngine Patch Manager Plus
ManageEngine Patch Manager Plus is a web-based/cloud-based software for complete automated patch management. Patch Manager Plus enables users to deploy patches to Windows, Mac, Linux, and over 850 third-party applications. Patch Manager Plus automates the scanning of computers, identifies vulnerabilities and the system health of machines, detects missing patches, and allows testing of patches before deployment to check compatibility and installation success. Users can choose from a choice of flexible deployment policies to automate patch deployment and also delay the deployment for a certain number of days. Users can also manage compliance using audits, analytics, and patch management reports.
Patch Manager Plus supports patch deployment to heterogeneous endpoints including desktops, laptops, servers, virtual machines and even roaming users. Ready-to-deploy pre-built packages are provided for common non-Microsoft applications, and users can access patches for Adobe applications, multiple web browsers, and a range of other applications through the third-party application catalog. Patches can be tested on a small group of computers before they are deployed across the business, with users able to manually or automatically approve patches following successful tests. Patches can also be declined for specific computer groups, and applications, or based on issues encountered in testing, and all declined patches can be re-added later for deployment.
Custom deployment policies can be created, allowing users to control deployment windows, end-user notifications, reboot policies, and more. Automated scans can be scheduled for vulnerability identification, any missing patches can be downloaded automatically, and patches can be automatically deployed to vulnerable systems. Patch management reports give users insight into vulnerable systems, systems requiring reboots, missing patches awaiting approval, supported patches, and more. Users can also create custom query reports to retrieve information from the Patch Manager database and refine reports using various filters.
Patch Manager Plus, now on the cloud, allows small and medium businesses to go about their business with minimal investments in infrastructure and maintenance. Patch management on the cloud also means the database of the latest patches is always synced, the deployments are light and fast, and there's no downtime while managing the computers.
Patch Manager Plus comes in two editions: Professional and Enterprise and it is completely free for 25 endpoints. For businesses willing to keep their computers patched and up to date, to ensure total security against cyber attacks, Patch Manager Plus will be the best bet, ManageEngine promises.

Patch Manager has reduced our labour effort in monthly "Patch Tuesday" rollouts hugely, and also improved coverage as only an Internet connection is required for patch application and visibility.
Pros
The simple cloud-based deployment and management has been a major benefit for us during COVID in the shift to hybrid working. Whereas previously devices required an onsite or VPN connection for patch application and scanning, now only an Internet connection is required. This means our time to patch is massively reduced and consequently security exposure also reduced.
Coverage of third-party applications is very good, and far exceeds the other products we looked at.
Cons
The inability to precisely schedule patch timing can be frustrating, and the conversion of Microsoft hex error numbers into signed decimal error codes is annoying.

The product is functional and is a good replacement for a standard WSUS implementation.
However some issues mean this product makes assesing the actual state of your endpoints difficult.
Pros
The product is affordable and the dashboard when logging in gives a good overview.
Cons
Machines with the agent installed and functioning would lose connection to the console, troubleshooting on the workstation showed no issue and the only way to resolve was to re-install.
This meant we couldn't trust the reporting from the product 100%
