The phone home can be lowered if your network can handle it... so don't do that if you have a large LAN. SBS..yes... :-)

I still say the interface for WSUS is just more confusing ...but then again, I track and have always tracked security bulletins by YY-Number and never by KB so it's partly my preference on that.

WSUS takes 24 hours to sync, then for clients to check in, then you
have to approve if you don't want auto approve...then the workstation
have to do their thing...then you have to view the reports....that
takes time.

The sync can be initiated manually.  The client phone-home interval can
be lowered to one hour via GPO.  No, it's not as fast as Shavlik but
there are some ways of speeding up patch deployment with WSUS.

Heck, there's always:

FOR /f %n in (pclist.txt) do psexec %n Wuauclt /detectnow -- or
something like that.
