Patch Manager

Are you familiar with Microsoft's Windows Server Update Services (WSUS)? SolarWinds Patch Manager is the exact same thing in concept but has the ability to do much more. Patch Manager allows you to not only manages Windows updates for Windows Server and the Windows desktop, but also manages rolling out software updates for a wide-array of third-party applications such as Adobe Flash Player, Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, WinZip, and more.

Patch Manager has a robust reporting feature to help IT management ensure compliance with all computers in the organization and it can be extended to work with Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager. Even though Patch Manager is designed to be integrated with Orion NPM, Patch Manager can run as its own instance. More information, including all of the third-party software updates that Patch Manager supports can be found at http://www.solarwinds.com/patch-manager.aspx.
