Patch Acquired by Bigfix

Hi Team,

We have this client asking and comparing Bigfix vs. WSUS.

This is for example:
WSUS got a total of 178 Patches from Microsoft while Bigfix got 156 Patches Only.

How are we gonna justify the difference? Since we dont know how to use and we dont know the environment of WSUS.

Please Help. Thank you.

Regards,
Pogi

Are those 156 total patches or 156 applicable patches?

The only well to tell the difference would be to get a list from WSUS, a list from BigFix, and compare them. Perhaps some of your computers are not yet enrolled in Bigfix?
