Find out in this report how the two Patch Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."BigFix is a great product. The flexibility of putting together your own relevance and retrieving custom data from any one of your agents is a valuable feature. It is one of my favorite features because if a boss asks me, "How many of these devices do we have?", I can put together a report in two seconds."
"It enables us to patch our systems quickly and within expectations and to increase our volume as needed. It has also helped us compress our patch sites. We used to do it monthly but now we do it weekly."
"I’ve found patching to be the most valuable feature of the solution."
"We rely on BigFix as part of our consulting engagements. It's more efficient from a visibility and discovery standpoint on the initial phase, the consulting engagement. It also increases our efficiencies on the remediation phase of our engagements."
"DOWNLOADING-PATCHES; It has also helped to reduce network traffic when it comes to downloading patches. By only having to download the patch once to the central location and then utilizing the relay structure to then download the patch to a specific site and then everything gathering at local, it greatly reduces the bandwidth of multiple endpoints."
"The solution is unbelievably scalable."
"BigFix has drastically reduced the maintenance window period to patch and reboot servers."
"It's enabled us to have a highly successful endpoint patching program for the past decade. It's been enormously successful there. It's also become a core part of many of our business processes, from compliance monitoring of endpoints, encryption management, key escrow, and local administrator password escrow. It's built into our inventory. It's very much everywhere."
"We use the solution for security patching of Windows devices."
"We can set a maintenance window and push the patch."
"I like the product's Peer to Peer patching feature."
"Both in terms of features and operations, this is a good solution."
"I have found the interface and ease of use valuable features. Additionally, it is very easy to patch VMs and other systems, such a Linux. We are able to do patches even without the internet manually."
"Ivanti Patch's most valuable features are the patch module and the package distribution."
"The most valuable features are device management and support for upgrading applications."
"The solution is a good product and I have heard that the interface is more friendly than that of Windows."
"I would request them to build a robots, or an easier way for integration with the other tools, like ITSM tools."
"I'd like to see better integration, with the different applications within BigFix. Instead of sometimes feeling like four or five different applications, they need to be integrated a little better within themselves."
"The relevant language takes a little getting used to since it's not used anywhere else in the industry. It's just in the BigFix environment."
"I self-taught for this online, so the initial setup was a little difficult to pick up at first. I had to create a couple of testing environments and destroy them in order to learn how to use it. There was a lot of trial and error, a lot of reading of the manuals."
"The self-service application seems to need some work to replace the client UI. There are a lot of pop-ups if you use a baseline as the object that you're setting to a workstation. Unless you're using web UI, the message is not customizable in the user notification."
"The new EDR (Endpoint Detection and Response) feature, Detect, is new and still needs a few updates."
"We need a much better multi-tenant option."
"The console interface is not friendly, and requires training before using it in production."
"Ivanti Patch could be improved with better integration with other cloud solutions."
"Customers sometimes ask about non-existent features, and we pass these requests on to Ivanti."
"Ivanti Neurons Patch for Intune needs to improve stability. We had issues with patching."
"There are times when there is an update that causes some issues. These issues should be sorted out before the release."
"The product's support and configuration need to improve. It needs to be more scalable."
"I would like to have better support for the application."
"I tried to be a partner of Ivanti and, from this vantage point, the quotes are, perhaps, a bit high."
