Let me know what you think of it after you've had some time to kick the tires. -C On Tue, Jan 25, 2011 at 1:19 PM, Leslie <enlight2k () hotmail com> wrote:

At least for the moment. IBM swallowed them up so expect that it will get worse but for now it's fantastic. You can use BES Relays for the slow links basically designating a workstation at each site as the patching server for a group of computers.

To: "PaulDotCom Security Weekly Mailing List" < pauldotcom () mail pauldotcom com> Date: Monday, January 24, 2011, 12:46 PM 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.

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...
