What Our Customers Are Saying
“We were grossly unpatched on the 3rd-party side and struggled to maintain the Microsoft® Patches using WSUS. After going to SolarWinds® Patch Manager, we were able to shore up numerous issues and bring our systems to a better state.”
“3rd-party patch management and reporting are the most important for us to maintain compliance. We are finding it could be helpful with future endeavors where we may need to deploy more individualized software packages on remote devices.”
“It met our needs and continues to offer more than we expected from the platform.”
“In the past we did our updates manually which caused inconsistency. Then we used another product that did not work very well, so we turned to SolarWinds® seeing that we were already a customer. And, we have not looked back.”
““We were using WSUS before and found compiling a report for customers were not as friendly.” “The ability to customize reports is very important as customers want to see something that's easy to understand and graphical.” “Patch manager is easy to set up and use. It provides a much friendlier view than what WSUS provides.”
