Patch management

Patch management with a grade, a schedule and a soak period.

Optanik patches Windows, macOS and Linux plus common third-party apps, on a schedule, inside a maintenance window, after a soak period, and shows the fleet's compliance as one number. From $2 per endpoint.

Optanik keeps Windows, macOS and Linux computers up to date, along with common third-party applications, and shows you how compliant the whole fleet is at a glance. Policies follow groups, so the servers and the laptops can patch on different schedules.

How patching works in Optanik

  1. Each operating system has a default policy. For example, Windows can patch weekly on Saturday at 2:00 AM, only inside the maintenance window, after a three-day soak so brand new updates can settle first.
  2. Custom groups can have their own. A Servers group can patch on Sunday night; a Headquarters group can patch nightly. A group without its own saved policy follows the default for its operating system.
  3. Third-party apps patch too. Turn on third-party application patching and choose which apps to leave alone.
  4. You can always act now. Scan all devices checks every computer for updates, and Install eligible now installs everything the policy allows, right away.

Know where you stand before standup

The Patch Management page shows device compliance, the share of computers with nothing left to install, and known patches, the updates installed versus still available, for each operating system. It also counts patches still waiting out their soak time and computers that need a reboot. Every computer is listed as patched, pending or deferred, with buttons to scan, patch or view its updates.

Grade-change alerts tell you when compliance slips, and the Patch Compliance report exports to PDF, CSV or Excel for a manager, a client or an auditor.
