Recommendations to others considering ManageEngine Patch Manager Plus:

Understand that patience is a prerequisite to patch management. Up to 90 minutes for a check-in (same as WSUS), you may not receive Microsoft updates on the same day they are released, but there is a good chance you will or at the latest next day. ManageEngine scans computers for All available patch updates, including a vast third-party store as well. Much better than WSUS at this point. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is ManageEngine Patch Manager Plus solving and how is that benefiting you?

The objective of utilizing this platform is to protect against one of the two primary attack vectors of a domain. At this point, I believe ManageEngine does this very well. Other benefits include an intuitive UI and great support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Easy using Patch Manager Plus"

4.5/5

What do you like best about ManageEngine Patch Manager Plus?

1. Automate deployment patch. With this feature, is very easy to implementation system healty to our endvirontment. Very helpfull to automate security for many software, OS, and endpoint.

2. Very easy to contact customer support with using button chat on right bottom. I can ask everything about PMP and they will guide me to configure, implement, and running prod.

3. Very easy to use with a friendly GUI.

4. Feature reboot endpoint very helpfull to action reboot after deploy patch.

5. Very secure with agent protection setting. So the user can't uninstall the agent without token from administrator.

6. We can rebranding the icon and logo with logo/icon from our company

7. We can use Self Service Portal, to deploy software/patch. So the user can self service to install/update the software.

8. Action log viewer we can setting will auto delete after 30days or more. So this is very helpfull to audit from internal and external. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ManageEngine Patch Manager Plus?

1. Can't schedule download patch. Currently PMP only can schedule deploy patch, but not with schedule download patch. I hope in next update, PMP can schedule download patch

2. I confused about license Cloud Profesional. Why you sell this product ? Because this is need a server onprem to distribution patch to all agent. I think if we talk about Cloud, there's no one onprem we using. All endpoint direct to cloud using internet. Even scanning, download, and deploy patch.

3. you need to create menu add agent by scan IP on PMP onprem. In another product, I can see menu add agent by scan IP. but on PMP only add agent by scan IP using script powershell. you should add this feature to your menu. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

4.5/5

What do you like best about ManageEngine Patch Manager Plus?

Being able to patch third party apps along with Win/MacOS/Linux update is huge and helps us remain more compliant. The interface is easy and there is a sufficient amount of documentation/support from ME to get through most issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ManageEngine Patch Manager Plus?

We have a lot of ManageEngine products within our company, and we do run into "clunky" behavior with the apps, or we have to take extra steps in processes that could be mitigated through better coding on ME's part. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
