Challenges
- Inconsistent deployment of timely patch updates when vulnerabilities arise out of potentially unwanted programs, malware and newer threats.
- Used time-consuming, manual patching and in-house processes prior to SolarWinds Patch Manager.

- <50 servers, and
- 50-250 workstations (incl. notebooks)
- Pushes out 5 – 20 patches per month with Patch Manager.
- Purchased SolarWinds Patch Manager because of being an existing SolarWinds customer.
Results
- Patch Manager helps:
- To test and deploy patches without affecting business/IT productivity
- Define and execute patch strategies for different user groups or computer groups
- Easily control how disruptive the patch process needs to be (e.g. control reboots, system restore, etc)
- Do on-demand patching and creation of custom patches and packages
- Saves 11-25 hours of patch workload each month, with Patch Manager.
