Re: Favorite Third Party Enterprise Patching Server?

We are using Lumension PatchLink for Linux/Windows.  I've only had to
deal with it now for a few months, but I think the general consensus
is we're not too thrilled with it (from a compliance standpoint).  It
does an ok job, but we think there are probably better solutions out
there.

I was always a big fan of Shavlik, but it depends on your environment.
 Shavlik does a great job on the Windows side, but I don't think they
have moved into other platforms.  They do support a huge number of
third party apps, and they have a 14 day (I think) trial so you can
play with it.

BigFix seems to be very popular with larger and more mixed
environments- but I've never used them myself.  Someone here must
have, though...

What is your favorite third party enterprise patching server? I'll need some
sort of distributed model because of slow WAN links and multiple locations.
I'm curious to see what you all use and why you like it.
Thanks,
Craig
