As do other patch management tools, I am able to stay up-to-date, but surpass that ability by being able to monitor user behavior so I can keep tabs on new software and hardware that might show up. The difference with GFI LANguard N.S.S. (now GFI PatchManager) when compared to any other tool is having the ability to track down what new vulnerabilities that might result from any changes. That is HUGE! To be able to see the immediate change in your security posture all at once? Let's see anything else do that from a single tool. Let's see any other tool give you the ability to see a complete assessment with only one scan!

I use GFI LANguard N.S.S. 5 on over 1,000 servers (Compaq and Net servers). I do this alone for my NT team. GFI LANguard N.S.S. (now GFI PatchManager) is the best tool that I have ever laid my hands upon! It patches so fast and the new release build is much better than version 3.3. I will continue to recommend the product to our new customers, I have no doubt they will purchase it!

You guys rock! I am a Systems Administrator at a small clinic here in my home town. I have about 60 users and the network and the client machines are a huge mass of confusion and chaos. With GFI LANguard Network Security Scanner (now GFI PatchManager) my job has been infinitely more productive. I now have an accurate IP map of my network and exactly what OS is on each machine and the status of that OS. Besides, the deploy patches feature is out of this world! If ever you're forced to keep one feature, please let it be this! With all the crappy security holes of the past and present, and no administrator prior to me, the network needs a lot of patching to stay as safe as possible. Your product does just the trick.
Thank you for all the hard work and ingenuity you've spent to make such an amazing product available to the IT industry. This product has been added to my A-team. You've made a customer out of me!

GFI LANguard N.S.S. (now GFI PatchManager) in my opinion as an IT Manager, is awesome! It has cut my hot fix deployment time to almost nothing. It also helps me trouble shoot any issues that I may have with my client machines.

What a fantastic product. This is the second product we have purchased from GFI and we were not disappointed. We had GFI LANguard Network Security Scanner (now GFI PatchManager) up within 30 minutes and started scanning all of our systems. What a great patch management tool.

I wanted to let you know how the bake-off between the GFI LANguard N.S.S. (now GFI PatchManager) product and a competitor's scanner product turned out. Our test was based on a scale of one to five, five being the best and included tests against a system with known and validated vulnerabilities. Part of testing included (but was not limited to) functionality and usability, detail of vulnerabilities discovered, list of remediation/resolution recommendations of the discovered issues, audit reporting in both an "executive and technical format", and last but not least cost of product against all of the above. Tests results were then blind tested against open source tools such as Nessus and then confirmed. Nearly half of all the discovered vulnerabilities, including a critical discovery of the SNMP "public" community string left as "Read/Write" on a core system facing the Public Internet were discovered by GFI LANguard N.S.S. and NOT by the other product. This alone made the decision to go with GFI LANguard N.S.S. a no-brainer. On a final score, GFI LANguard N.S.S. was a clean 4, where your competitor's scanner was at the most a 2.

I would like to say that your product is beautiful. I am an avid Linux user and network admin and have not found anything as useful as this for a Windows platform. The Linux platform uses NMAP as a port scanner and whois for a look up, along with several other apps. However, this program has it all integrated into one. Very useful and easy to understand.

I love it! The installation went without a hitch. Within 30 minutes I had a complete missing patch report on 25 critical servers and discovered one server missing several critical patches. In just a few more minutes all the missing patches were applied. EASY! The interface is much more intuitive than competing products and performance is also pretty good. Kudos to GFI for yet another great product!

I am a corporate trainer delivering in several different situations, college and business, and need numerous 'tools' to illustrate good security practices to my students and to give them insight into what is available on the market. My students use a number of GFI products in their Security+ class. They use GFI LANguard N.S.S. (now GFI PatchManager) to scan other computers, then tell each other the security holes that they found. They use it both as an administrative tool but also to see how an attacker could use tools to find and exploit holes in a running server. It was great to be able to demonstrate the theory of an attack and then an excellent way of preventing an attack! My students have all been impressed with GFI products. Keep up the great work!

I love it. I took GFI LANguard Network Security Scanner (now GFI PatchManager) head to head with several other products and it was able to do what the other products couldn't, and do it easier. It was also much cheaper than the competition. GFI LANguard Network Security Scanner will be a useful weapon in our arsenal to keep our networks secure and squared away (Not to mention saving me a whole lot of running around).

GFI LANguard Network Security Scanner (now GFI PatchManager) is a great product. I like the GUI and functionalities enhancements. It is also a very good idea to have included basic network trouble shooting tools like NSLookup and others. It is very handy to have them in the same interface.

GFI LANguard Network Security Scanner is a fantastic product. All alone, its network scanning feature is worth every penny. This is jam packed with great bonus features of scanning Microsoft platforms for security settings (like auditing), missing service packs and patches, shares, local groups & user, and on and on. Not to mention its capable of deploying service packs and patches to multiple computers across multiple platforms! It'll even do patch installs on NT4 machines. If you manage a network, you cannot be without this vital network tool.

The Age (May 2004) reported that a prestigious Australian private school purchased GFI software to secure its systems. Canberra's Marist College had to reinforce its computer systems to stop hundreds of its own students hacking into the system. At one stage the school recorded up to 200 virus attacks within an hour. One such security breach made the school rethink its entire security set-up. The school needed to know at once if someone might be accidentally introducing a virus, not a long time after, when the virus would have already done the damage. Marist College decided to use GFI software to improve the system so such breaches would not occur again. The products used include: GFI LANguard Security Event Log Monitor, GFI LANguard Network Security Scanner, GFI Network Server Monitor, and GFI MailEssentials. As a result, the school can now monitor who is doing what on the system, and can immediately contact them about it.

We're very happy with your product: GFI LANguard N.S.S. (now GFI PatchManager) installed and ran on the first go - which is GOOD. I was able to do a few scans within in a minute - without cracking the manual. I was AMAZED at the info I was able to obtain without having to leave my chair - another good thing. The whole process, from download to purchase order only took about 2 hours, I think!

GFI LANguard Network Security Scanner (now GFI PatchManager) 3.3 is a great product with fair pricing. It is easy to use with a lot of useful information. It's the right tool for easily keeping our servers "up to date" in times of fast changing security updates. Also if there's a small problem, the excellent support are really qualified and efficient.
