What are the benefits of integrating Patch Manager Plus with AssetExplorer?

AssetExplorer aids you with complete lifecycle management of IT assets and Patch Manager Plus is a threat detection and management solution for securing endpoints.

Upon successful integration, AssetExplorer leverages the unified agent installed in the managed endpoints to fetch in-depth asset scan results in real-time.

The unified agent collects complete hardware details via advanced scanning mechanisms across Windows, macOS, and Linux endpoints. The data is then collated and reported on the user console, while maintaining uniformity across the various endpoints and OSs.

By utilizing the enhanced data, users can further strategize asset management, thereby gaining an all-around perspective of the assets in the network.
