Splashtop: The PatchMyPC Alternative for Patch Management

When it comes to managing and securing endpoints, Splashtop offers more than just patching.  

Explore how Splashtop’s platform provides comprehensive policy and patch management, real-time updates, seamless remote access, support and more, compared to PatchMyPC's functionality. 

1. Real-Time Patch Management for OS and Third-Party Applications 
   PatchMyPC primarily enhances Microsoft Intune’s patching capabilities, along with tools like WSUS and ConfigMgr, but requires additional solutions to reliably update devices, particularly for third-party applications.  
   
   Splashtop provides a comprehensive patch management solution that offers real-time updates for both operating systems and critical third-party applications. This ensures IT teams can maintain device security with minimal downtime, ensuring compliance and reducing vulnerabilities across all endpoints. 

2. Comprehensive Autonomous Endpoint Management 
   While PatchMyPC is focused on Windows-based systems, Splashtop enables endpoint management for Windows and macOS and gives technicians granular control over their environments, allowing for more precise management and faster troubleshooting. 
   
   Splashtop provides a unified platform for patching, monitoring, and securing endpoints, reducing the need for multiple tools to manage different device types. 

3. Automation of Patch Deployment and IT Workflows 
   Manual patch management can be time-consuming, especially in hybrid or multi-platform environments.  
   
   Splashtop automates patch deployment and IT workflows, ensuring that critical patches are applied across all devices without manual intervention. Proactive alerts and remediation help IT teams quickly identify and resolve issues with real-time alerts and automated fixes, ensuring minimal disruption and improving operational efficiency. 

4. Advanced Reporting and Insights into Endpoint Health 
   While PatchMyPC offers basic patching capabilities, it lacks in-depth reporting and visibility.  
   
   Splashtop offers comprehensive, customizable reports on endpoint health, vulnerabilities, patch success/failure, and more via dashboard. This enables IT teams to proactively address issues, maintain security compliance, and improve the overall management of their endpoint ecosystem. 

5. Remote Access & Support 
   Splashtop enables high-performance, low-latency remote connections across multiple platforms, including Windows, Mac, iOS, Android, Linux, and Chromebook, providing seamless access from any device, anywhere.  
   
   Additionally, Splashtop’s 1-to-many actions allow technicians to execute tasks across multiple endpoints simultaneously, including mass deployments, remote commands, and background actions like registry editor, accessing system tools without disrupting the user.
   
   IT teams can support remote and hybrid work, manage endpoints, and troubleshoot devices with minimal downtime.
