Third Party Patch Management

I’m researching Third Party Patch Management solutions. Is anyone using one that they love or hate and care to share why? Our environment is roughly 30 endpoints with 2/3 in-office and the rest remote.

I’ve used a few.

There’s lots of potential issues in specific details so you’ll want to be a bit more specific… none of them is likely to be perfect.

One major thing is operating system version. Patch management support for Windows Home is … variable… and support for mixed client systems (Windows, Mac, Linux, other distro of Linux, whatever) is uncommon or worse.

The patch management that comes with some of the F-Secure packages for Windows is surprisingly good (what with being able to patch third-party applications like LibreOffice and such for you) but I’m fairly sure you can’t buy it separately, so…

All endpoints are running Win10 Pro, with the exception of 2 Server 2012 and 1 Server 2019.
