This all-in-one approach takes the hassle out of patching different environments, cutting down on complexity and keeping everything compliant. > > **Cons**: The user interface requires some time to become familiar with, and the deployment process can occasionally be a bit slow. > > Patch Manager Plus combines broad coverage, centralized management, and efficient local distribution, making it a powerful solution for secure and streamlined patching. In short - one of the best patch management systems i have seen so far. ----- ### "Not bad for price" — 4.0/5 > **Allen** | *26 May 2026* | Insurance | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: It's fairly easy to get up and deployed. We came from using SCCM which requires a large amount of setup and constant maintenance to manage. > > **Cons**: The reporting leaves a lot to be desired. I wish I could do category breakdown of patch compliance by criticality as well as first party vs third party patching compliance. > > It has been above average, I have noticed there seems to be a large amount of hot fixes deployed in my short time of use that has had some large impacts causing failure of certain patches until you are on the latest release. ----- ### "Easy to use server patch management." — 5.0/5 > **James** | *18 November 2019* | Health, Wellness & Fitness | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Easy to use and setup. Regular emails detailing patching status > > **Cons**: There are quite a few clicks to get where you want. A couple of missing features such as force check in from the portal. ----- ### "A Capable Tool With Room to Grow" — 5.0/5 > **Ron** | *2 March 2026* | Transportation/Trucking/Railroad | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: Patch Manager Plus offers a straightforward and mostly intuitive interface that makes it easy to get up and running quickly. One of its biggest strengths is the variety of agent deployment options, so there's a method for just about any scenario. The dashboard gives a solid at-a-glance view of patching status, and the level of detail available when configuring update policies lets you get as granular as you need with approval rules and rollout behavior. Third-party application patching is something we plan to implement, and the pricing is very reasonable for what you get. > > **Cons**: While Patch Manager Plus does a lot well, there are a few areas I wish were better. The restart scheduling options feel limited, and I'd love to see more granular control over when and how reboots are handled. For example, in my environment I often need to waterfall server restarts due to production requirements, restarting certain servers first and waiting before moving on to the next group to avoid downtime, and that's not as easy to set up as I'd like. The update process itself could also be a bit more streamlined, as there are times where applying patches feels like it involves more steps than it should. > > Overall, my experience with Patch Manager Plus has been positive. It covers the essentials well, the interface is mostly intuitive, and the pricing makes it an easy choice. Where it falls short is in restart scheduling and streamlining the patching workflow, though I was able to work around the restart limitations by writing custom scripts to get the behavior I needed. With some refinement in those areas natively, it could easily go from a good tool to a great one. ----- ### "Effective Tool for OS and Third-Party Patch Management" — 5.0/5 > **Sunil** | *28 April 2026* | Mechanical or Industrial Engineering | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: Pros: What I liked most about ManageEngine Patch Manager Plus Centralized dashboard to manage patching across all endpoints from one place Automated patch deployment, scheduling, and approval workflows Supports patching for both operating systems and third-party applications Helps quickly identify missing patches and vulnerable systems Reduces manual effort and improves overall patch compliance Flexible deployment options with minimal user disruption Supports Windows, and Linux environments Easy to deploy and manage for mid-sized organizations > > **Cons**: Cons: What I liked least about ManageEngine Patch Manager Plus User interface feels outdated and could be more intuitive Initial setup and policy configuration can take time Patch deployment failures sometimes require manual troubleshooting Reporting and dashboard customization options are limited Support response time can be inconsistent for complex issues Agent performance may occasionally impact endpoint resources Third-party patch catalog could be broader for niche applications > > Overall experience with ManageEngine Patch Manager Plus Overall, the experience has been positive and it has significantly simplified patch management. The platform helped automate patch deployment and reduced manual intervention for routine updates. Managing OS and third-party application patches from a single console improved operational efficiency. Patch compliance visibility helped track vulnerable systems more effectively. There were occasional challenges with troubleshooting failed deployments and navigating the UI. Despite a few limitations, it offers strong value for organizations looking for a cost-effective patch management solution. ----- Page: 1 / 17\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/360434/manageengine-patch-manager-plus?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/360434/manageengine-patch-manager-plus) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | fr | | ----- ## Structured Data
