Frequently Asked Questions
1) What is cloud based patch management?
Cloud patch management refers to the deployment and management of OS, third-party, security, and all other patches to the endpoints via cloud solutions. A cloud based patch management software such as Patch Manager Plus works independently of the underlying platform/environment provided it is connected to the internet.
2) What is on-premise patch management?
On-premise patch management refers to the deployment and management of patches via on-prem tools (such as in-house servers) to automate and simplify the patch management workflow. The on premise patch management solutions patch internal servers and endpoints in the organization and communication with the endpoints outside the enterprise network is secure by a firewall.
3) Cloud vs on-premise: Which is best for your business?
Cloud patch management solutions are known for their ease of maintenance, scalability, affordability, and security. On the other hand, businesses prefer on-premise solutions to ensure complete control over the data, hardware, and other configurations.
The choice of a cloud based patch management software or its counterpart, on-premises, depends upon the needs and priorities of the enterprise.
