System Center Configuration Manager (SCCM) is a software management suite provided by Microsoft that allows IT teams to manage Windows-based computers. Among its many features, SCCM is commonly used by organizations to deploy updates and security patches across a network. SCCM gives IT administrators substantial control over when and how patches are applied. Since it boasts more robust features than most other configuration management solutions, SCCM is often the most attractive option for large enterprise networks.

SCCM patch management offers a suite of endpoint protection tools, and with the correct configuration, can operate as a comprehensive lifecycle management system for IT departments with a high number of Windows systems. Non-Windows systems (such as Mac, Linux, UNIX, Symbian, and others) can still be managed through SCCM as end-clients, although this process still requires a Windows server to run.

SCCM patching is controlled via an intuitive Graphical User Interface (GUI), which can make it significantly easier to implement than other self-deployed tools. And since it’s a Microsoft product, there are tons of community support options for IT teams that adopt SCCM to improve their third-party patch management practices.
