SolarWinds Patch Manager
Simplify patch management for Microsoft and third-party applications.
Overview
SolarWinds Patch Manager is designed to simplify and automate the patching of Microsoft servers and workstations, as well as third-party applications. It integrates with and extends the capabilities of Microsoft Windows Server Update Services (WSUS) and Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager (MECM), formerly SCCM. This allows for greater control and visibility over the patching process, with features like pre-tested patch packages and detailed compliance reporting.
