Patchlink vs Zenworks Patch Management
Like most you I quickly found out that ZPM was just a lite version of Patchlink. I then contacted them and after some review I can assure you all that Patchlink is better: -better support -more up to date product and definately CHEAPER (not going to go in details on that, ask your Patchlink rep) I really dont see any valide point at going with ZPM over Patchlink

Interesting.. How did you come to the conclusion that ZPM is a lite version? Pricing: If you are an existing Novell customer then the price is usually less expensive from Novell. MLA, CLA, VLA, ALA discounts apply to the retail price- of $18. >>> <Phil@nospam.com> 7/23/2004 7:57:21 AM >>> Like most you I quickly found out that ZPM was just a lite version of Patchlink.

The exact same version that can currently be purchased from Patchlink directly. Once installed, the customer must then purchase the subscription to extend the time and the number of devices covered. Also general Discounts apply... and the Patchlink Server is included.. On the other side... it is your decision.. -- Marcus

I had some questions about Patchlink, and had a nice conversation with one of their customer support reps. What I think that Phil is misunderstanding is that Patchlink's current version is 6.0, which was just released within the past couple of months. Novell will be doing their own tailoring of the 6.0 product and certifying it for their needs prior to it being released as a ZENworks product. In this sense, he is correct that the version of PatchLink that we get with ZENworks is not up to date. <Phil@nospam.com> wrote in message news:lH9Mc.10918$gg.2376@prv-forum2.provo.novell.com... > > Like most you I quickly found out that ZPM was just a lite version of > Patchlink.
