At least for the moment. IBM swallowed them up so expect that it will get worse but for now it's fantastic. You can use BES Relays for the slow links basically designating a workstation at each site as the patching server for a group of computers.

To: "PaulDotCom Security Weekly Mailing List" <[email protected]> Date: Monday, January 24, 2011, 12:46 PM We are using Lumension PatchLink for Linux/Windows. I've only had to deal with it now for a few months, but I think the general consensus is we're not too thrilled with it (from a compliance standpoint). It does an ok job, but we think there are probably better solutions out there.
