What is WSUS?<\/h4>

Windows Server Update Services (WSUS) is a free add-on from Microsoft for Windows Server that downloads patches and updates from Microsoft and distributes them in Windows operating systems and related applications in the network.<\/p>

Patch management via WSUS deals with downloading, testing, approving and deploying patches. Despite its automation and basic functions, WSUS is limited to Windows-specific applications and is not ideal for hybrid operating environments. Many are therefore looking for alternatives.<\/p>

Do we need an alternative?<\/h4>

Why do we need alternatives to WSUS? WSUS offers rudimentary functions and can only patch Windows-related applications. The increasing complexity of corporate environments requires more flexible solutions. IT administrators are looking for alternatives to close the gaps and simplify the patching process.<\/p>
