I've used the free HFNetChkPro 4 and the demo of Update Expert and another
thing I like about HFNetChkPro aside from a free version, is that it is
dedicated towards security, where as Update Expert could do more
deployments, such as Office and what not. It makes it a little more
cumbersome to manage IMO, if you are looking for a dedicated patch
management software and not the extras.

I only use HFNETCHK. I haven't used Patchlink before. I have used Update
Expert from St. Bernard Software, and I prefer HFNETCHK. While both do a
very good job in scanning, and pushing patches, I just like the fact that
there is a free version of HFNETCHK for those that really cannot afford the
$1000+ price tag. Of course, there is LIMITED reporting capabilities and no
SQL support, unless you get the paid version.

Anyone using these 2 utilities for enterprise MS Patch updates?
I'd appreciate any pros\cons on both products.
Thanks.
