WSUS Alternative for Business
Unified interface
Integrate your Windows Software Update Services (WSUS) and System Center Configuration Manager (SCCM) with Patch Manager to extend your patch management capabilities. Patch Manager provides a central point of control with an agentless architecture that functions at scale. Gain instant visibility into the update status of servers and workstations, latest available patches, and top ten missing patches. Go beyond WSUS capabilities with scheduling and patch compliance reporting tools that are integrated into a single streamlined platform and are compatible with other SolarWinds products.
Security and compliance features
Package options
Ensure that even complicated patches like Oracle Java will succeed. With SolarWinds Patch Manager PackageBoot™, you can create before and after package deployment scenarios without complicated scripting. This WSUS server alternative is built to help reduce the workload related to patching Windows devices (including offline machines). The platform’s tools let you patch, organize, and inventory virtual desktops and servers across an enterprise.
Third-party compatibility
You don’t have time to research, script, package, and test patches for all your non-Microsoft applications. This WSUS alternative allows you to extend the capabilities of Windows SCCM with time-saving features. SolarWinds builds, tests, and automatically delivers packages for third-party applications like Adobe, Apple, Google, Oracle, and Mozilla. Use Patch Manager to easily deploy these patches through WSUS or SCCM across thousands of servers and workstations. View the status of third-party endpoints managed by SCCM on the user-friendly patch status dashboard.

How to extend your current WSUS
Patch Manager allows you to extend your current WSUS and SCCM environment while affording you much more control over the patch management process. It delivers dynamic patch management, update status insights, easy reboot scheduling, and more. Utilize the Custom Package Wizard to build packages appropriate for any application without using SCUP or complex scripts. Deploy any MSI, MSP, or EXE via the platform, as needed.
How to diagnose and report on client health with a WSUS alternative
This WSUS alternative allows admins to perform full inventory across the network to manage both physical and virtual desktops and servers. With thousands of unique pieces of system data, Patch Manager helps you diagnose and report on client health, while more effectively resolving issues. Identify vulnerable servers, rogue machines, and improper configurations, then remediate client health without disturbing end users.
How to manage systems patches automatically
WSUS allows only limited control over patch scheduling. With Patch Manager, set a patching timeline that suits tight IT maintenance windows and follows your company’s internal policies. Approve new patches, then push updates to your managed systems automatically, whether monthly, on certain days, or for calendar events. View task history to ensure that no systems are overlooked or misconfigured.
