ManageEngine Patch Manager Plus is an all‑in‑one patch management platform that automates scanning, prioritization, testing, deployment, and reporting for Windows, macOS, Linux, and a large catalog of third‑party applications to reduce risk and prove compliance efficiently. It is available as both on‑premises and cloud editions with a free tier and transparent pricing, making it accessible for SMBs and enterprises alike.
What it is
Patch Manager Plus centralizes the complete patch lifecycle—discovering missing patches, assessing risk, deploying updates, and generating compliance reports—via a single console for heterogeneous environments. The platform supports Windows, macOS, and select Linux distributions, plus updates for over 1,100 third‑party applications to close real‑world software gaps quickly.
Key capabilities
End‑to‑end automation: schedule scans, auto‑download, auto‑approve on policy, and deploy with granular controls to reduce manual effort and human error.
Test and approve: create pilot groups, validate patches safely, then promote to production with automated approvals to minimize disruption.
Prioritization and control: delay or decline less‑critical patches, roll back declined items, and sequence deployment to protect critical systems.
Rich reporting and compliance: track missing/installed/applicable patches, vulnerable systems, and reboot requirements to meet audit needs and SLAs.
RBAC and visibility: role‑based access control and centralized dashboards streamline collaboration and reduce insider risk for IT teams and MSPs.
Broad coverage: server/workstation OS updates, third‑party app patches, service packs, AV definition updates, and even driver/BIOS updates in higher tiers.
Who benefits most
SMBs gain a fast on‑ramp to automated patching with the free tier and simple scaling as fleets grow across multiple OSs and apps. Enterprises and regulated sectors value staged testing, fine‑grained policies, in‑depth reporting, and RBAC to satisfy internal controls and regulatory audits.
