Windows Server Update Services (WSUS) and System Center Configuration Manager (SCCM) have been around for quite a while. These are patch management tools offered by Microsoft, helping users apply necessary updates to various computer programs and software. With the use of WSUS and SCCM, you can correct errors and fix bugs in the system.
While the main applications for WSUS and SCCM are pretty much the same, the two of them have a few differences.
Costs
In terms of costs, many organizations prefer WSUS because it has no up-front fees. It’s marketed as a free patch management application, but it has payable options if you want to use additional features. SCCM, meanwhile, can be pretty expensive, but it allows its user to have more control over the deployment of patches. In addition, it has plenty of useful applications.
Users
Since WSUS is free, it’s marketed toward smaller organizations that don’t have enough funds to purchase SCCM yet. Additionally, it’s the ideal patch management tool if you’re only using the Windows operating system for the whole network. On the other hand, the market for SCCM is bigger businesses. This tool is also more flexible, so it can be deployed even on different operating systems.
No matter the size of your company, you’ll benefit by hiring a WSUS or SCCM specialist. Contact us at QTS Global for more information on the subject.
