Shamwari Posted August 26, 2005 Share Posted August 26, 2005 Patchlink gets my vote, in the middle of doing an assessment of these products for work. WSUS is ok in in a smaller environment or where feedback on who has taken what, is not an issue. WSUS just pushes the patches, etc out, whereas Patchlink actually reports on the status of a patch rollout, ie, who is still vulnerable. It is also platform independant in so far as it can service Macs, Linux, Unix, etc. If you have a purely M$ environment and a load of brusters, and wanted to know what PCs had not taken the patches, SMS would be a good bet. In our environment we support 10-15 000 PCs, so we need to know where out vulnerablities lie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin Zugec Posted August 26, 2005 Share Posted August 26, 2005 You can see what patches were not applied of course.For all computer add default action DetectOnly and create additional reports... BTW best souce of patch informations is probably Shavlik mailgroup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
