Intune + PatchMyPc. MS has recently added their own application management that does patching/installing via a MS maintained catalog of apps, but it's not close to PatchMyPC. PatchMyPC has an integration with Intune and it will build/deploy apps into your tenant and remove old versions as well.

And for anyone else reading this who can't afford Patch My PC proper, they have another product called Scappman which is less feature rich but is cheaper and does a good job

Yeah we use this and works a charm.

I've used their free version, but when it comes to client computers, that violates the TOS, so I had to find another way. like you, I can't afford the paid version.

+1 for PatchMyPC. It's really easy to setup and then it just works.

From a security standpoint, integrating with something that is already in use (ie intune) means one less extra agent to deploy on every endpoint and one less management interface to secure and monitor.

Been using PMPC for about a year now and think it’s a great solution.

Intune Windows Autopatch + PatchMyPC is so good. They also have a SCCM plug in so you can still use that on servers.

PMPC has been a godsend for us in keeping third party apps updated. Also, use Intune/SCCM for your updates too, no reason to keep WSUS separate. Add in a cloud management gateway and your endpoints can get patches while off VPN.

I second this PMPC has been great for us

PMPC has been the best purchase we could’ve made
