Improves network visibility and keeps our products up to date with the latest patches
This is a solution that I recommend. In fact, those without it are at a disadvantage when it comes to managing their network. The biggest lesson that I have learned is in terms of visibility. GFI LanGuard has given me a wakeup call in terms of what is happening on endpoint machines. However, it is more than just having visibility. It is about having control in terms of what you want to block and what you're able to block. It keeps our network stable in that there are no running applications that you don't even know you have. I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.

Directly receive updates and push them to the server using a stable solution
There is one area that confuses me and can use a lot of improvement in ManageEngine Patch Manager Plus. Once we add a server inside the solution, we cannot specify the server or target for a specific customer. If I want to apply a patch for a specific customer, I have to look at them by the IP, I have to sort them by the IP, then select them, one by one. There is no tagging or a site where I can include them in that group, so I have to patch the group. I would like the ability to segregate the customer. The solution should have a customer label where we can label those servers or include those servers for specific customers.

Additionally, GFI LanGuard is not heavy on system resources. It gives a competitive advantage over others."

Cons

"When you want to uninstall software from an endpoint, sometimes it becomes very problematic."
"The version we are using only allows one person to use it at a time and does not allow multi-users."
"GFI LanGuard has some technical limitations with machines."
"GFI LanGuard can improve by adding more modules, such as asset control or asset inventory."
"GFI LanGuard could improve the rollback feature. If we have installed the wrong we have had some issues with the rollback function. Additionally, more input from GFI LanGuard for the custom software push install."
"This solution is limited to the local area network only and cannot manage remote devices."
"The documentation on how to use this solution in a Linux environment is not clear, which is something that should be improved because it is complicated."
"The only drawback with GFI LanGuard is that you cannot directly integrate it from the Outlook email; instead, you have to first log in to the site to make changes."
More GFI LanGuard cons
"They should add better features for managing hardware."
"The cloud version should have option to add all the endpoints using the agent. Not only for Windows, but also the Linux version. There are some versions which are not compatible with SaaS Manager. So some customers do not want to use the latest version of Linux latest version of CentOS. Actually, CentOS is not available. But some are using and patch manager is compatible for some versions only, not older older versions. So there are some pros and cons that are referred to patch management."
"There are limitations to this solution when we are working with iOS, Apple laptops or desktops such as the Mac and iMac."
"The only area for improvement in ManageEngine Patch Manager Plus, which I noticed, is the reporting."
"The solution's UI is an area that requires improvement."
"The tool's support needs improvement."
"The solution's initial setup is not straightforward, and we have to customize it with our relevant features."
"ManageEngine Patch Manager Plus needs to improve speed."
