Hi We use Ecora Softwares patch manager. We didn't like patch link that much from a usablity point of view. Try ecora and see what you think at http://www.ecora.com. It also will be doing linux and solaris in the next version and it is fairly inexpensive.

From what I've seen of it, it looks very nice. They have preliminary support for Solaris and Redhat as well, but we haven't gone there yet. I still use red-carpet (http://www.ximian.com/products/redcarpet/) under Linux. We're also subscribed to Meta Security Group's Command Center. They keep track of security alerts for a wide range of software packages and notify you when any of the alerts match your profile. It also has some features for policy management. I'm not sure that we're getting much value from it yet, since I get the same alerts from other free sources. HTH.
