What makes SanerNow the Best BigFix Competitor?
Immediate Patch Solution
When we find vulnerabilities in our systems, it’s crucial to fix them quickly by applying the necessary patches. If we delay or take too long, it leaves a door open for potential attacks. SanerNow’s patch management feature can help by instantly and automatically applying these patches without causing any disruptions to our operations. This process can even be scheduled, making it a seamless and continuous way to keep our systems secure.
Continuous Vulnerability Discovery
SanerNow is really good at finding and fixing vulnerabilities in your IT system quickly and continuously. It takes less than 5 minutes to scan for vulnerabilities and helps keep your digital enviroment safe. On the other hand, BigFix doesn’t focus as much on finding vulnerabilities. It’s more about managing devices and software. So, if you want a tool that’s fast at finding and fixing vulnerabilities, SanerNow is the better option for you.
Supports patching for over 400+ third-party applications
SanerNow is a great tool for keeping all your software up to date and secure. It can handle over 400+ different applications, making sure they are patched and safe. On the other hand, BigFix focuses on a smaller set of applications, mainly from big companies like Adobe, Google, and Microsoft. So, if you want to manage the security of various software, SanerNow is the better choice since it can handle a wider range of applications.
Achieve Blazing-fast, Continuous, & Automated Patching with SanerNow Patch Management
Comprehensive Vulnerability Management for Timely Mitigation
Managing patches is really important for fixing vulnerabilities. SanerNow does this by quickly and accurately scanning for weak points in your network. Once it finds these weaknesses, it gives you the patches you need to fix them, all in one place. After you’ve fixed things, you can double-check with another scan to make sure everything is secure. This way, you can reduce the risk of problems and stay on top of vulnerabilities. SanerNow’s approach is unique because it combines patch management with vulnerability scans, which other options like BigFix don’t have.
Supports Patching for All OSs and Around 400+ Third-Party Applications
SanerNow Patch Management is great because it can update all the big operating systems like Windows, Mac, and Linux. It can also update more than 400+ third-party applications, which is more than what most other tools can do. The best part is, you don’t have to juggle multiple tools to update different systems and apps, you can do it all in one place. Unlike other options like BigFix, SanerNow works with various versions and types of operating systems, making it super easy to keep everything up to date.
Quick Automated Patch Management
Manually updating software takes a lot of time and effort, sometimes even weeks. SanerNow makes this task much easier by doing everything automatically, from checking for updates to installing them, and it does it all much faster. With SanerNow, you can set up automatic updates for different groups in your organization, so you don’t have to do it all by hand. This helps make your IT operations run smoother and more efficiently. While many options like BigFix offer partly automated solutions, SanerNow is ahead of the game with its full automation.
Comprehensive Vulnerability Mitigation Methods
Fixing problems isn’t just about updating software. There are various security measures needed to address different issues. SanerNow offers many of these security controls to reduce different security risks. With SanerNow, you can do things like install or remove software, block apps and devices, start or stop processes, adjust firewall and registry settings, clean up your computer, and more. These security controls are not found in many options like BigFix, which makes SanerNow different from other tools for managing updates and security.
