Owner Housekeeper Consumer Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Avast Business Patch Management" May 25, 2024 4.0 Pros Everything but cost could have been cheaper Cons Nothing, well maybe the price was just a little higher Review Source AH Andrew H. Systems administrator Accounting Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Good for the price" March 4, 2021 4.0 I feel it is good for the price. I enjoyed the mobile interface where you can subscribe to emails that will update you when you're away from the office. If it had a built-in RDP protection and application that would streamline with the VPN that have asked offers then it would be ideal. The patch management Pros I felt it was a nice ease of use but it did not feel as intuitive for the capabilities that it can achieve with the potential we have within state of the art programming. Cons I did not like the fact that it does not tie a remote protocol within the program but makes you pay several hundred per year to use their own protocol. This should simply protect your RDP that is already built into windows. It doesn't have a hub like Omni but I am sure this is due to the fact that most businesses have a hardware firewall. I feel a hub with top it off as far as quality functionality and state of the art technology. The hub could work as a separate accessing point rather than using a machine to facilitate processes within or outside of the network. The patch management doesn't update Windows and it's entirety so you still have to keep up to date with Windows updates. This s\*\*\* integrate both within it. Also having a description of what the patch does for you ie. Fixing an exploit or adding a feature etc Alternatives considered [Microsoft SQL Server](https://www.capterra.com/p/1417/SQL-Server/) Reason for choosing Avast Business Patch Management I used vest for mobile antivirus and vpns and have its antivirus and cleaner on many devices including android, iphone, windows and Macbook Review Source VR Verified Reviewer CTO Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Could be much better" August 30, 2019 3.0 Mixed bag - I can't rely on it with confidence at the end of the day to manage the computers that I need to manage. Pros It's integrated with the Avast Anti-virus console Cons \- It mentions that there are missing updates on computers when windows shows all updates as installed - pushing patches to computers rarely works and is often stuck Reason for choosing Avast Business Patch Management integration with the antivirus product but I am starting to regret that Review Source MW Matthew W. Director Leisure, Travel & Tourism Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "A Good Concept" February 23, 2021 4.0 Overall, the software is helpful, and I will continue to use it, but it would certainly benefit in some refinements surrounding its execution of its tasks. Pros Patch management software was easy to install and set up. Similarly, it is quite effective at identifying patches that are missing from my workstation. Cons Deploying patches can sometimes be awkward: the system would benefit from more active prompts as to the progress of the download/installation, upcoming restart needed to continue, and whether remaining patches will be installed after the restart. The absence of this "live progress" data can make the update process confusing, as it sometimes appears the process has stalled. A new development, which I find quite annoying, is a pop-up window informing me that a restart of my system is needed to complete patch installations, once per day, almost every time I have started my computer. I start the computer and am immediately informed it must reboot. This is not a move in a positive direction: aside from being annoying, it is almost intrusive, and is very poorly timed. Reason for choosing Avast Business Patch Management I chose Avast Business Patch Management without comparing other products. I have long been a user of Avast security products on my personal computers; I believe wholly in its efficacy; and I am loyal to businesses that provide effective solutions.

MA Martin A. Director Capital Markets Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Peace of mind for my organisation" February 18, 2021 4.0 Pros One size fits all. Once installed we do not need to worry about possible breaches etc. Easy to get overview through the dashboard. Cons Patch management is not quite up to speed, and i am getting many repeat error messages. Restart required should be able to be scheduled, and not always forced upon the users.

February 17, 2021 5.0 Having a centralised system for patch and virus management means I am happier with knowing our computers are protected. Pros This is one of the most important pieces of software we deploy to our windows server and workstations. It is so easy to use and means our systems are always patched which reduces the risk of exploitation. It is important for auditing purposes that this is automated for us, its one less thing to worry about, and the fact it is centrally managed is fantastic. Cons I would like to be able to schedule restarts for at night. Review Source Response from Avast March 30, 2021 Hi Jordan, Thank you for your suggestion.

TA Todor A. System administrator Computer & Network Security Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Very reliable " August 30, 2019 5.0 Pros Easy to use, good platform and nice applications. Cons So far haven't see something that didn't like except some patches which still fighting to install. Switched from [ESET Endpoint Security](https://www.capterra.com/p/151915/ESET-Endpoint-Security/) Heavy and annoying. Review Source PC Pete C. Support Manager Computer Software Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Generally very pleased with Avast Business Patch Management" February 28, 2020 4.0 Very positive in general. A little tweaking and without too much intervention on a daily basis, patch management is allowing my team to deal with real issues rather than updating software. Pros As the company grows with more and more remote users across 2 continents, we have begun to use Avast Patch Management more and more to 1) ensure and prove compliance with regulatory bodies and 2) make deploying updates to a wide variety of apps much easier. Cons Some of the default settings we a little on the strict side for us, especially with rebooting machines after updates were installed - but this was easily rectified. Review Source CK Chris K.

March 4, 2020 3.0 Pros The windows support is easy to use and the price is very reasonable . Cons The lack of Mac support is very frustrating. This seems like a no brainer to add.

Especially with the new cloud management platform. Review Source sO shrif O.

Automation engineer Industrial Automation Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### " review Avast Business Patch Managament" September 13, 2019 2.0 See above Pros Avast Business giv a nice overview. The Patch Mangament, if it reports correctly, that should be it. Cons At the dashboard right now I can read 28 patches missing (5 critical and 23 severity none). If I look at the page for Patches it reports nothing is missing. I have tryed to get input from you in order to understand it/use it correctly. Howeever I am still at square 1. They helped me to get it partly to work, or report correctly but like it is now it will not be implemented in our company totally (that was my intention) Review Source IEK Ido E. K.
