ManageEngine Patch Manager Plus Reviews

The ability to download and deploy patches with ease for both Windows and OSX.

It took a little getting used to but that is probably my fault for not reading and going through the demo.

I like that there's a build-in chat window that connects me directly with Manage Engine support.

Bugs. I've reported a couple of bugs but each time brought it to the attention of tech support it got fixed quickly.

Simplified UI, Easy to Setup & Navigate, No need of expensive Consultant for setting up Patch Deployment, Policy based patch Deployment, Great Roadmap, Chat support is Awesome and always pro-active recommendations from ManageEngine.

Nothing at all, Everything is perfect with PatchManager Plus

The deployment method is great. I really like the fact that it does a inventory scan via agent to show what patches are installed and missing. The granular way of targeting a host or group via custom group and AD groups make patching easier to deal with. WOL, remote reboot, and shutdown is nice to have. Agent deployment comes with several choices from manual, GPO, to pushing out from console.

I think the reporting could be better. I would be good to see better logs/error message when things fail to install whether it an agent or patch deployment.

I have enjoyed how they have broken down the patching and management of the patching. I feel it really allows us to customize the tasks and configurations to our needs. The focus clearly was on patching and was not on just an intuitive console like most software solutions.

I am impressed with the notifications and reporting as well. This makes tracking our configurations and devices much easier.

I have deployed via a Distribution server and through Intune with great success - on a very small scale however. Looking to do mass deployment test soon

I think the console although simple could be more intuitive and user friendly - only because the amount of configurations and features can seem daunting at first configuration. I think there could be some more instructions or guided tour (tutorial)

ManageEngine Patch Manager Plus very well updates Microsoft software like WSUS, but also allows us to automatically update other software. Software installation is also great.

There really is not much that I do not like about ManageEngine Patch Manager Plus but technical support is at a very low level.

Management of devices. Adding clients. The GUI/web interface is great. The listing of patches needed is great too.

Support is very slow to respond. Considering it’s email. The product feels clunky when deploying software and configuring. Not very straight forward and again. Support is virtually non existent.

Patch Manager plus supports patching a wide variety of popular softwares like Adobe, Java and WinRAR.

Some of the features mentioned in the documentation need to be explained more so they can be understood more easily.

The ability to update domain and non-domain PC's

This has a steep learning curve. It would be better if there were a getting started guide.

What I like best about the tool is the searching and testing of applicable patches.

Overall, ease of automation and third party patches.

Start up time was a little longer then expected (support was great for it).

The user interface throws a lot at you and can take a while to learn to navigate.

Relatively straightforward to setup and there's a decent amount of functionality built in. Room for expansion but we can get the results we need with what's there currently

We did come across a few intricacies that weren't documented and came about because of the way we were trying to set things up. There were solutions to everything, however, it feels like this product just needs a little refinement to be top notch

I was tasked with finding software to replace WSUS. We are a Manage Engine house so decided to give this software a go. We were not disappointed. We have given it very heavy use over the 1 month trial period and it has performed flawlessly. We will be buying this product for sure.

Nothing much to add here as the software does exactly what is says on the tin

Easy way of deployment patches for client & managing the same.

Turn around time when we raise any issues with support.
SLA should be set.

Its Very useful for managing the Windows 10 and 8 operating systems..

Its not fully supporting Windows 7 operating.

This product is so easy to use. It has so much functionality and gets the job done.

The only thing at present, i would like to be able to initiate a software update scan from the web base gui. This has been submitted to the Manage Engine team.

This System helps me a lot to manage my machines and to be sure all machines are up to date with updates.

better if can push specific update without creating a new implementation task. just simply one click

easy deployment (only install a program)
intuitive use

price of the language pack
sometimes too many features

Agent deployment, and Patch deployment of OS and 3rd party app

Integration with other ManageEngine systems, deployment of other application

I like that we can monitor which updates will be required.

Sometimes it load so slow. I mean there is a time. But some other times it loads ok

The software lets you test patches before deployment to mitigate security risks as well as scan an detect endpoints to detect missing patches.

After testing and using this product their are no cons about it. It does what it says and is very easy to use.

Support for a wide variety of 3rd party products.
Easy (overall) deploy and monitor.
Good support.

Need to update latest patches with CVE details (especially for PMP cloud).
Reporting has to enhance more.

I like that they cover a long list of third party applications and drivers. Web console not as user friendly as I would of liked.

I would like to see when the next deployments will be, I've brought it up to customer support so will see if they implement this.

1) Easy to use
2) Reporting
3) Simple interface
4) Less compute utilization

1) Credentials management on MAC & Linux boxes

One stop for all app management patching, adobe, java, related software including windows

Perhaps a better graphic interface that is easier to arrange per customer likes.

We like the remote office functionality and ease of use.

Can't schedule the patch downloads on the cloud version.
