About Avast Business Patch Management

Identify critical vulnerabilities and easily deploy updates to all endpoints with Avast Business Patch Management. Save time and money with automated patching, third-party application patching, and centralized management through our cloud security platform, the Business Hub.

Patch Management accelerates the software update process, taking it from months to just minutes. Our team of patch content engineers carefully inspects each patch before it gets released to you, ensuring proper compliance.

How it works?

Scan all devices for missing patches
Select the frequency of the patch scan, either daily, weekly, or monthly, and schedule when you would like the scan to take place.
Deploy patches
All vendors, software applications, and severities will be patched automatically, but you can easily exclude individual ones from application patching if needed.
Review patch status
From the dashboard, you can view missing patches, patch names and severity levels, along with release notes, release dates, and more.

Benefits

Flexible deployment schedules
Intuitive Dashboard
Automatic scans

Good for the price

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

A Good Concept

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.

Ratings Breakdown

Ease of use

Functionality

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.

Reasons 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.

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.

Absolute Godsend - The software you didn't know you needed.

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.

Generally very pleased with Avast Business Patch Management

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.
