We had Solarwinds for a year and got rid of it. We were able to use it to update our servers with things like Java, Flash, etc. But because we don’t have any MW’s on our user PC’s, we couldn’t control when those apps got installed and they would force IE to close without warning when the install took place. It’s a shame though, it definitely made keeping those apps up to date much easier.

Secunia is a whole lot more than just a SCUP catalog provider and is more a standalone product with a console extension in CM. I don't often come across any of these day to day in my role but one of my customers is looking to evaluate Solarwinds which I aim to be looking at. Most of the comments that I see indicate that PMPC is good enough and more nimble than the big boys - something that you might agree with Andreas On 9 Jul 2015, at 13:26, Andreas Hammarskjöld <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: Is that in most expensive from the top or cheapest on top?

I have about 19,000 active clients and I’m tired of patching 3rd party apps via full app deployments. I’d love to hear about any experience or suggestions any of you have.
