WSUS Alternative for Business
Control your updates with a WSUS alternative designed for unified, streamlined patch management
Unified interface
Integrate your Windows Software Update Services (WSUS) and System Center Configuration Manager (SCCM) with Patch Manager to extend your patch management capabilities. Patch Manager provides a central point of control with an agentless architecture that functions at scale. Gain instant visibility into the update status of servers and workstations, latest available patches, and top ten missing patches. Go beyond WSUS capabilities with scheduling and patch compliance reporting tools that are integrated into a single streamlined platform and are compatible with other SolarWinds products.
Security and compliance features
Falling behind on updates poses a major security risk, and effective patch management is crucial to protecting your business. Patch Manager is designed to help decrease security risks and service performance degradation by giving you enhanced control over how patches are applied. Additionally, this WSUS alternative provides you with easy-to-use reporting options that help demonstrate compliance and identify security gaps.
Package options
Ensure that even complicated patches like Oracle Java will succeed. With SolarWinds Patch Manager PackageBoot™, you can create before and after package deployment scenarios without complicated scripting. This WSUS server alternative is built to help reduce the workload related to patching Windows devices (including offline machines). The platform’s tools let you patch, organize, and inventory virtual desktops and servers across an enterprise.
Third-party compatibility
You don’t have time to research, script, package, and test patches for all your non-Microsoft applications. This WSUS alternative allows you to extend the capabilities of Windows SCCM with time-saving features. SolarWinds builds, tests, and automatically delivers packages for third-party applications like Adobe, Apple, Google, Oracle, and Mozilla. Use Patch Manager to easily deploy these patches through WSUS or SCCM across thousands of servers and workstations. View the status of third-party endpoints managed by SCCM on the user-friendly patch status dashboard.
Wake-on-LAN
With Wake-on-LAN capabilities, you can boot target systems for patch management that suits your schedule. Force real-time downloads and update installations through WSUS. Admins can use advanced shutdown, reboot, and wake-on-LAN functions to help ensure that even offline desktops, servers, and virtual systems are successfully patched.
