Opinions on Solarwinds Patch Manager vs. Barebones WSUS? (self.sysadmin)

Greetings, all! I'm new to Lemmy and to this community, but hoping there might be some here with opinions to offer on whether Solarwinds Patch Manager is worth the price or if I should just continue to make due with plain WSUS. Initially I found WSUS to be unreliable and a general pain in the ass, but after some tinkering I actually have it running pretty well now so I'm not as sure that I need Patch Manager.

Anyway, I'm happy to be here on Lemmy with you all and look forward to participating in this community. Cheers!

Thanks everyone for the helpful advice! I am going to hold off for now and research some of the other suggested solutions.

We are also looking at another solution from Solarwinds, Security Event Manager. I'm going to talk to our CIO and encourage him to hold off on that for now too. I'm not confident in the security of Solarwinds applications and they are also pretty expensive.

Thanks again for the feedback!
