You should always still take the time to see what a patch will do to your system and tools before rolling it out blindly across the network and creating a much larger and preventable headache.

I am not aware of what people against automatic patching are saying the disadvantages to it are, but come to think of it. If you are using a licensed software from a reliable development company, how would automatic patching be dangerous in a sense?

The potential “threat” is nothing compared to what is saved in manhours and what you can avoid in stress and headaches. Delays in patches are actually more dangerous as the actual threats are getting savvier in trying to invade networks. I’m all for automatic patching. There are far more better things to do than doing it manually. Look at your To Do list in a more strategic perspective.
