Greetings, all! I'm new to Lemmy and to this community, but hoping there might be some here with opinions to offer on whether Solarwinds Patch Manager is worth the price or if I should just continue to make due with plain WSUS. Initially I found WSUS to be unreliable and a general pain in the ass, but after some tinkering I actually have it running pretty well now so I'm not as sure that I need Patch Manager.

Anyway, I'm happy to be here on Lemmy with you all and look forward to participating in this community. Cheers!

Check out Ivanti Security Controls (née Shavlik Patch Manager) as well. Or PDQ Inventory/Deploy. Both are better options.

Ivanti Security Controls is another I hadn't heard of, but we are actually using PDQ Deploy and it has proven to be a great value for us. I didn't realize Inventory included a patch management component. I will definitely check that out! Thanks.

We consolidated our patch management into Qualys and dropped Ivanti Security Controls (Shavlik). I regret it. It was stupid slow but it worked so well.
