Microsoft Windows Server Update Services Scalability

Regarding the scalability, you can actually configure something of an ERP version of the WSUS service. For example, if you work in a company that has multiple sites and these sites are located in other states or countries, you can deploy WSUS for each site. Once you've done that, these WSUS servers will all communicate with a parent WSUS server that will then deploy updates to each child WSUS.
Therefore, I'd say that WSUS is quite scalable since we can make servers communicate with one another, in the sense that you have one parent source that communicates with and deploys updates to each child WSUS service in a hierarchical arrangement.

We can easily scale up at any time just by adding servers to the updated services.
View full review »Scalability, particularly with the integration of cloud services, is notable. In the cloud environment, scalability is essentially bound by your budget—expanding resources as much as you're willing to invest. On-premises, however, scalability involves purchasing additional subscriptions and compute resources before increasing the number of servers, introducing a more upfront and structured approach to resource expansion.

We have 400 Microsoft Windows Server Update Services users in our organization. It is a scalable platform. We never had any issues related to scalability.
View full review »Our company started using the solution recently. We have a limited number of users and administrators within the Azure cloud team who currently utilize the available cloud solution. To be more specific, there are only about three to five users currently using the solution.
Since it can handle a much larger workload than it claims, it is a scalable tool.
Our company plans to increase the usage of the tool extensively when there is a need to move the workload to the cloud platform.

There are some issues with scalability in larger organizations, as WSUS may not cover 100% of their endpoints.

I'm not much involved with scalability because I don't have reason to scale with our business model as it is at the moment.

The scalability seems to be appropriate. We don't have a big environment, although if we did, the sorting of the updates may be a bigger problem.
There are two of us in the company, myself and the system administrator, who are using this service.

I think most installation scenarios are brought in with the system for the customer, so the scalability is good enough. However, especially with the hypervisor, they could develop the products a little bit more.
