Case Study: Medium Enterprise Computer Services Company Makes Patch Reporting Easier

“We were using WSUS before and found compiling a report for customers was not as friendly.”

“Patch manager is easy to set up and use. It provides a much friendlier view than what WSUS provides.”

“The ability to customize reports is very important, as customers want to see something that’s easy to understand and graphical.”

Challenges

Inconsistent 3rd party patching using the existing Microsoft WSUS & SCCM solutions.
Used Microsoft WSUS prior to SolarWinds Patch Manager

Use Case

Patch Manager helps manage:
- 50-250 workstations (incl. notebooks), and
- < 50 servers
Pushed out 5 – 20 patches per month with Patch Manager.
Decided to purchase Patch Manager because of being an existing SolarWinds customer.

Results

Patch Manager helps:
- Define and execute patch strategies for different user groups or computer groups
- Do on-demand patching and creation of custom patches and packages
- Quickly generate reports on patched and unpatched systems and software
