Opinions on Solarwinds Patch Manager vs. Barebones WSUS? (lemmy.world)

Greetings, all! I'm new to Lemmy and to this community, but hoping there might be some here with opinions to offer on whether Solarwinds Patch Manager is worth the price or if I should just continue to make due with plain WSUS. Initially I found WSUS to be unreliable and a general pain in the ass, but after some tinkering I actually have it running pretty well now so I'm not as sure that I need Patch Manager.

Anyway, I'm happy to be here on Lemmy with you all and look forward to participating in this community. Cheers!

I've never used SolarWinds patch manager, but after all of those breaches I'm very leery on any of their stuff. Another option to look into is manage engine patch manager plus. It can be a bit of a pain but it worked decently enough. Also, very cheap. Just don't expect a super robust and deliable program
