BigFix Evolves Patch Management

Evaluation Shortlist

Altiris Patch Management Solution Altiris offers a wide range of asset management and security solutions, but integration of those applications has been slow (www.altiris.com)

LANDesks Patch Manager 8 LANDesk also offers multiple applications for asset management under one client agent, but the future is unknown as Avocent takes over the portfolio (www.landesk.com)

PatchLinks PatchLink Update Embarking down the same paths as BigFix, PatchLink is a worthy alternative solution (www.patchlink.com)

Marimba Patch Management from BMC BMC offers a slew of client and server management solutions, as well as help-desk applications (www.bmc.com)
