7MS #275: Patching Solutions Bake-Off - Part 2

This episode continues our series on comparing popular patching solutions, such as: Ninite ManageEngine Ivanti PDQ Ninite This week I focused on Ninite, and here's the TLDR version: Pros Does one thing (third party patching) and does it really well Extremely affordable User interface is clean, simple and really easy to use/learn Cons No "agentless" option - it's an agent or nothin' I'm not sure if Ninite has the brand name recognition and reputation to be accepted/respected by large companies I need to do more homework on how they pull down their packages...are they ripping apart packages and repackaging them at all? That could be a big avenue for side-loading icky stuff.
