Let’s discuss Unified Patch Compliance Across Intune, Configuration Manager, and Alternate UEMs. SysAdmins and IT Directors are grappling with ensuring their endpoints are secured against vulnerabilities, regardless of their Unified Endpoint Management (UEM) platforms or the number of applications in use.
Patching is no longer just about keeping systems up to date; it is foundational to an organization’s security posture. Software vulnerabilities are among the most accessible entry points for malicious actors, making it essential that all applications, not just the both Windows and macOS, are patched quickly.
This is incredibly challenging in the remote-work era, with endpoints scattered across various locations. Application Manager and Liquit by Recast Software bridge this vulnerability gap, offering unparalleled support for organizations of all sizes.
This blog post helps you to understand more about Unified Patch Compliance Across Intune, Configuration Manager, and Alternate UEMs. This blog post also discussed different Challenges of Patching Software.

Unified Patch Compliance across Intune Configuration Manager and Alternate UEMs
There are many challenges faced by Unified Patch Compliance across Intune, Configuration Manager, and Alternate UEMs. Different methods can easily control these Unified Patch Compliance challenges.
The Challenges of Patching Software
With the proliferation of cloud-based services, on-premises infrastructure, and an ever-expanding array of applications, keeping every endpoint updated and secure has become increasingly complex. One significant pain point is the difficulty tracking vulnerabilities across multiple applications and versions.
Each application has its release schedule for patches, and vulnerabilities are discovered at different times, requiring IT teams to be constantly alert and apply critical updates. The list below shows some other details.
- Another critical issue is the resource-intensive nature of manual patching workflows
- For many organizations, especially those with limited IT staff, keeping up with the constant stream of patches consumes a disproportionate amount of time and resources
- The need to test patches before deployment worsens this situation to avoid introducing new issues into the environment.
- As a result of these challenges, IT teams often find themselves responding reactively, struggling to prioritize and apply patches across their diverse ecosystems efficiently.
- We conservatively estimate the cost of an average patch to be $320.
- Even a medium-sized firm would require over 500 patches per year, totalling $160,000 (also conservative).
- In addition to these financial realities, delays and human error inevitably follow anytime teams manually patch applications.
