"Can be sluggish at times, but works better than mostr"

What do you like best?

Easy to use application and I've yet to have any major issues with it. Patching is easy to manage and tends to work without problems.

What do you dislike?

Error logging isn't great, so it's hard to tell why something fails when it does. This doesn't usually come up, but it does some times.

What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?

This is a solution we use for all of our clients to manage workstation and server patching. It has worked well for us so far.

"Good product part of the RMM"

The patch scans some times fail for various reason and you have to manually re-run them. There are times when you need to reinstall the agent to fix this issue. But lately the product has improved and this failures are less often.

"Very easy"

What do you like best about SolarWinds Patch Manager?

The software is easy to use and integrated with my RMM tools. Very easy to understand and navigate. Information is very clear and precise. Gives standardized information I can easily relay further along the chain of command. Color coding allows the status to be viewed at a glance.

What do you dislike about SolarWinds Patch Manager?

Login and loading can be a little slow at times. With it integrated with my RMM, it may take a little time to navigate to as the different window panes have to reload. Have to navigate through several menus to find the status of all machines rather than just the one I have clicked on.

Recommendations to others considering SolarWinds Patch Manager:

Be sure to keep an eye out for a persistent failing of certain patches.

What problems is SolarWinds Patch Manager solving and how is that benefiting you?

I am able to keep all client's desktops and servers up to date. I have saved countless hours from having to do it manually. Gives me the clear information I can then easily relay to my superior. It has been a valuable addition to our managed services portfolio.
