This episode continues our series on comparing popular patching solutions, such as:
Ninite This week I focused on Ninite, and here's the TLDR version:
Pros * Does one thing (third party patching) and does it really well * Extremely affordable * User interface is clean, simple and really easy to use/learn
Cons * No "agentless" option - it's an agent or nothin' * I'm not sure if Ninite has the brand name recognition and reputation to be accepted/respected by large companies * I need to do more homework on how they pull down their packages...are they ripping apart packages and repackaging them at all? That could be a big avenue for side-loading icky stuff.
