Hey everyone! I'm currently managing around 100 Windows servers and I'm looking for a new way to handle updates. I've come across Windows Admin Center (WAC) as a potential alternative to WSUS, but I haven't seen much feedback on its effectiveness for patch management in real-world scenarios. Has anyone tried using it for that purpose? Also, if you have any other reliable alternatives you could recommend that work well at this scale, I'd really appreciate it. Thanks for sharing your insights!

I found WAC to be just okay, especially without all the Azure integrations. If you're looking for something that works well for your setup, I'd suggest checking out Action1. It's free for up to 200 endpoints and has been pretty reliable, just make sure your firewall settings are friendly or you could run into issues. You might want to look into that!
Hey, thanks for mentioning that! Just to clarify, the geofencing issue can happen if you block too much traffic with your firewall. We can help with the required configurations if needed. And yes, Action1 is completely free for the first 200 endpoints. Definitely worth a shot!
