We needed to automate third-party patching because we could not keep up with the demands of ensuring computers and servers were protected. Now, all of our systems stay patched and we can operate a more secure environment.

In the past, we would patch manually at each workstation during routine maintenance, at computer replacement, or in the case a severe vulnerability was found. I highly doubt we were doing an adequate job of all that before we applied the use of Patch Manager.

4.5/5 Stars

How our organization uses Serv-U:

We use Serv-U Managed File Transfer (MFT) Server along with Serv-U Gateway to securely and easily transfer files with our clients. Our old FTP server was not meeting the needs of our organization in terms of security and ease of use. People were resorting to other personal solutions such as Dropbox. Serv-U has allowed us to keep our file transfer services in house, and eliminate our usage of third-party tools.
