That's why major corporations also use special patch management solutions.

A large number of other applications do not offer this feature. Some security applications now even have an integrated software updater. This is the case, for example, with the Internet security suites from Avira or Kaspersky.
Naturally, it is possible to manually update individual tools, but over time, this becomes somewhat tedious. The right patch programs are much better at doing this. For this purpose, the market offers a vast selection of products, not all of which can be presented here. Without picking any favorites, we are introducing two products as being representative of this group: for individual user PCs, there is the tool from Patch My PC, and for small businesses, there is the software Patch Manager Plus from ManageEngine. Patch My PC can be used free of charge. After the 30-day trial period without a PC limit, Patch Manager Plus can still be used free of charge for patching up to 25 PCs.
