• Control over patching of windows servers & workstations : 
  You can integrate it with WSUS and update agents, automatically update patches based on custom schedules in addition to that different patching schedules for different groups can be created with the organisation. It also enables you to proactively monitor which server/workstation needs to be patched and build patch deployments accordingly. Software patching can be targeted based on the OS, IP range or created groups. Using patch manager organisations can simplify software patching and reporting for windows and third-party applications across thousands of physical/virtual servers and workstations.
• Third-Party software patching : 
  You can create before and after deployment packages to ensure complicated patches like Oracle, Java deploys successfully without any error. you also can build and designate specific actions to occur before or after package deployment to ensure that patches get installed as per schedule.
  
  
• Deploying patches with advance scheduling and rebooting : 
  Using patch manager for custom software and other applications does not need to rely on system centre updates. Patch manager also enables deployment of custom packages from other vendors this makes it easy to deploy or patch custom apps or software.
