If you are a network administrator for a company-wide mobile device network, you are likely already aware of the extreme importance that patch management software in general plays in maintaining the integrity of your network, its devices, and data stored overall. With that said, it should be noted that not all patch management software in general is necessarily equally well equipped to handle the needs of your network and its devices, so it does pay to research the various options carefully before going forward.

To begin, determine the hardware and software that each mobile device on your network will be using, and make sure that your patch management software software of choice is designed to be fully compatible with both of these components. Incompatible software of any kind can and will eventually cause massive and usually irreparable problems with any devices on which they are installed, so make sure that full compatibility is indeed a paramount concern on your list of software features.

From there, search the web for reviews of patch management software for the specific devices and operating systems you will be using, and read carefully through the results. Pay especially close attention to any reviews of patch management software that appear to have been written by someone else in a similar situation to your own for best results. Once you have a fair idea of the best options for patch management software in your situation overall, go ahead and take a look at what each of these software suites is able to do. At a minimum, your patch management software suite of choice should be able to download and install any patches or updates to each device automatically, and without any input from individual users on the network. Choose the best patch management software suite you can find from among the various candidates, and you should be all set! Refernce materials.
