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."Desktop patching is the most valuable feature, because with servers, we have complete control over them, and we can simply push patches to the servers."
"We are able to go from patching thousands of machines by twenty to thirty people to one person."
"It has plugins development options, which are great."
"We found the implementation partner to be very supportive in terms of explaining and training the in-house resources and deploying the solution."
"The most valuable feature for us is the ability to manage TWS, the relevance is really what sets it apart. Also, using it as a software deployment tool is the key for us."
"The technical support for BigFix is really amazing."
"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."
"BigFix can manage lost devices, so you can wipe them remotely to ensure the IP doesn't get out in public. Unified endpoint security is a new perspective. I know that HCL is also collaborating with IBM, but I'm not sure if there is any cooperation between them and MaaS360 or other endpoint components."
"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."
"It is very easy to use, as well as extremely efficient and accurate."
"We can set a maintenance window and push the patch."
"Both in terms of features and operations, this is a good solution."
"The solution is a good product and I have heard that the interface is more friendly than that of Windows."
"I like the product's Peer to Peer patching feature."
"Ivanti Patch's most valuable features are the patch module and the package distribution."
"We use the solution for security patching of Windows devices."
"There is no support for patch management on SLES on IBM pSeries (only the Intel platform is supported)."
"Maybe the online help could be improved. It'd be nice if you would have a lot more phrases and keywords that you could search for and find answers with the help."
"Sometimes there is a lag time for our users."
"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 would like to see for it to be a little easier for new users to be able to learn and create relevant statements. In my opinion, that's the hardest part for bringing on new people that haven't had BigFix experience. Being able to have easier ways to build relevance in ActionScript would be the biggest improvement I'd like to see."
"Needs to improve Network Access Protection (NAP) technologies to prevent computers with vulnerabilities from gaining access to networks."
"IBM has not focused on the Web Reports capabilities."
"To make it a ten they should improve the licensing. Second, if they could have one environment for everything it would be nice. For you to install compliance you need to install the server, and then you add the modules. For you to install inventory you install the server and then you add the modules. It's not easy to do. When I was doing it before I learned it, it was not straight forward."
"The product's support and configuration need to improve. It needs to be more scalable."
"I tried to be a partner of Ivanti and, from this vantage point, the quotes are, perhaps, a bit high."
"Customers sometimes ask about non-existent features, and we pass these requests on to Ivanti."
"Ivanti Patch could be improved with better integration with other cloud solutions."
"There are times when there is an update that causes some issues. These issues should be sorted out before the release."
"Ivanti Neurons Patch for Intune needs to improve stability. We had issues with patching."
"It's a difficult configuration because you need to install many servers in a location, and you have to install the primary server in the main location."
"The reports have to show the compliance level of the patching, which Ivanti does not provide."
