I work in a Development enviroment. There for I’m not allowed to install patches on our machines because of testing purposes on the machines. Our systems mimic production and everything is controlled in our enviroment before it is moved up to production. So I’m looking for patch managment software for windows that can do two main things.
1. Allow the developers on the system to pull down and install the needed patch that they want to install. (This must be able to be done from the client server it’s self or from a site that prevents the developers some how from pushing a patch out to a machine that isn’t their’s or they don’t have rights to.)
2. Allows me as the admin to do a report on what patches are installed in the event of a emergency patch.
I only know of two products out there but not sure if they can do what I need it to do. WSUS and Shavlik
