Patch Management

Get The Most Out of Your SCCM Investment

Microsoft SCCM is an excellent solution to manage desktops and their applications. However, one limitation of SCCM is that it can't patch non Microsoft applications. It's inconvenient for System Admins, since they have to work with multiple patch management tools in order to update all business applications on the network, and it's time-consuming.

Patch Management

Automate Your Non-Microsoft Patch Management with Patch Connect Plus

Regular patching protects your systems from security threats. Discover vulnerabilities through scheduled regular scans. You can patch any vulnerable systems automatically with patch management via SCCM.

Patch Connect Plus helps deploy patches to over 250 third party applications like Java, WinRAR and Adobe - and it uses your existing Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager server!

Maximize Your SCCM Investment

You can patch almost any app by utilizing Patch Connect Plus with your SCCM framework. No need for having other patch management solutions for third party applications. This also negates any need to learn a new console just to patch a few applications.

Only Patch Required Applications

Gain increased control over patching the apps you want, by being able to approve patches for only the applications you want to patch.

Notifications

You also receive notifications about new supported products, newly available patches and even last time the database was updated.

Intelligent patching

You can send patches to the applications when they aren't being used. In addition to helping just streamline your patching solution, it also makes more sense to do it when they're out of use.
