Target Audience
Active Patches is designed for anyone trying to track the high number of hot fixes and patches available for software on computers they manage. This includes everybody from IT departments to small business owners. Managers can easily view reports to verify all fixes are installed, IT staff can quickly get an understanding of what servers need additional work to have all patches installed.

Key Benefits
  • Track computers, software installed on your computers, and hot fixes / patches for software.
  • Identify missing patches via easy to use reports.
  • Unlimited expandability and customizability - add software categories and hot fixes as needed.
  • Records historical information - WHO - WHAT - WHERE - WHEN for hot fix installs - a managers dream.


  • Is it automated patching?
    NO. There are alternatives that claim to offer automated installation of patches, however most feedback on these products (and our own experience has been) is the technology simply isn't not ready to be utilized in production environments for detecting installed software and/or required patches. Instead Active Patches provides an easy to use infrastructure to track software assets and patches available for those assets. Unless you are managing a single server you probably have multiple servers needing the same patch. Tracking what servers have already been patched, and which still need patching is a CRITICAL issue to anyone who wishes to accurately manage their network - We provide the infrastructure necessary to track this, and the historical information to show when patches were installed. Our easy to use reports provide a clear way to see what needs to be done quickly and effortlessly.
