johnnynoir Posted July 26, 2016 Report post Posted July 26, 2016 This is more of an opinion question than a technical one. I'm wondering what folks do for patching 3rd party products like Adobe Flash & Acrobat, Firefox, and Chrome. I know SCUP exists, but my experience with it in the past is that it's more trouble than it's worth. My impression is that it's lingering but not much supported any more. Working where I do, cheap or free is always better, so I was considering using a scripted solution possibly delivered a task or compliance setting. Does anyone have anything nice (or not nice) nice to say about the extensions for 3rd party updates from Shavlik, SolarWinds, etc.? Thanks in advance!

GarthMJ Posted July 27, 2016 Report post Posted July 27, 2016 SCUP is used by most people. If you are looking for 3rd party tools and cost is an issue, then PatchMyPC is the only option. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apexes Posted July 28, 2016 Report post Posted July 28, 2016 Avoid Shavlik - it's a lot of money for not alot of product. Solarwinds patch manager is on par. For half the amount of money they'd charge you in license costs you'd be able to employ someone full time to manage just 3rd party patching.
