Solarwinds Patch Manager

SolarWinds Patch Manager delivers a robust suite of features designed to make patch management efficient, automated, and easy to control for IT teams managing large or complex environments. The platform provides a user-friendly web interface that integrates with other SolarWinds products, giving administrators a clear view of patch status, missing updates, and the overall health of their systems. It enhances the native capabilities of Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager (SCCM) and Windows Server Update Services (WSUS) by centralizing the deployment and management of both Microsoft and third-party application patches, removing the need for manual scripting or multiple tools. One of its standout features is the inclusion of pre-tested, ready-to-deploy update packages for a wide variety of popular third-party applications, allowing IT teams to quickly and reliably update thousands of endpoints. Automation is at the core of Patch Manager, with tools for scheduling patch deployments, managing system reboots, and sending automated notifications, all designed to ensure timely updates with minimal user disruption. The solution’s comprehensive reporting capabilities make it simple to track patch compliance, demonstrate security to auditors, and pinpoint systems that need attention, with customizable reports that cover both Microsoft and third-party updates.Additional features include the ability to patch offline virtual machines, manage inventories of virtual desktops and servers, and utilize advanced WSUS management functions such as local policy configuration and update agent repairs. Altogether, SolarWinds Patch Manager streamlines every aspect of patch management—from identifying and deploying updates to maintaining compliance—helping IT teams keep their systems secure and up to date with less effort.
