ManageEngine Patch Connect Plus Reviews & Product Details

We use Patch Connect Plus with SCCM to patch third‑party applications on fifteen endpoints. What I like best is the SCCM integration: we publish third‑party updates from the console and workflow that we already use. Patch Connect Plus is easy to use. Gives us granular control, over what gets deployed. Patch Connect Plus saves us from patching each application by hand. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Initial setup, including the SCCM plugin and catalog sync can be confusing at first. It takes a time to understand how everything connects and works together.

The list of supported third-party applications in the catalog could be more comprehensive. There are some tools we need that're n’t available which makes things harder.

The licensing cost seems high for a small environment like ours with only 15 endpoints. We’re paying a lot for a system that doesn’t fully meet our needs.

Some features, in the console are not easy to find. You have to dig through menus or search online to discover what’s possible. It would be better if more tools were clearly labeled and easier to access. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The best part for me is that we can easily publish and deploy updates from third-party vendors through our SCCM system.

This has really helped our IT team keep things

We can now manage updates for things like browsers, PDF readers and collaboration tools, in one place.

It also helps with business software so we do not need to use different methods to deploy updates.

Our SCCM infrastructure makes it seamless. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The thing with this system is that it sometimes takes a while for the live deployment status updates and patch synchronization to show up correctly on the dashboard. There are times when something goes wrong with a patch deployment, from a party and we have to look into it manually by checking the logs and the different parts of SCCM.

ManageEngine Patch Connect Plus stands out by simplifying third-party patch management in a Windows environment. It reduces manual effort, improves the consistency of updates, and makes it easier to keep systems secure and up to date. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The main drawback of ManageEngine Patch Connect Plus is that the initial setup and policy tuning can take some time. Managing third-party application catalogs and configuring deployment rules can also feel a bit complex, particularly in larger environments. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really appreciate that ManageEngine Patch Connect Plus includes built-in PGSQL, as it eliminates the cost and maintenance of a database, and the support team also provides assistance for this database. I also like the features that allow end users to delay deployments when needed. Deploying patches or software from SCCM along with pre and post scripts prepared inside Patch Connect Plus is a big plus for me. The integration with SCCM as the main and only management tool for endpoints is a huge benefit, as it doesn't add any load to SCCM but instead enriches the patch repository via WSUS. Additionally, the pre-defined software packages save a lot of time in preparing and troubleshooting, making it a perfect choice for environments that rely on SCCM.

Even if there are over a couple of thousands of 3rd parties supported in this product, it can be better if it would be bigger. Additionally, this product doesn't allow customer patches or software to be prepared over its UI. This can be cons for techs love to make custom configs by itself.

I love how easy it is to deploy third party updates to Intune and keep the apps updated through Intune. I have been using Patch Connect Plus for about 2 years now and the available number of applications in ManageEngines' repository keeps growing. It is a very simple tool to use and I highly recommend it to anyone needing a solution to keep 3rd party software updated! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
