Privileged Access Management 
Heimdal vs Patch My PC
Patch My PC is a point solution that automates third-party patching for Microsoft Intune and Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager (MECM, formerly SCCM). That’s useful. But there are better, more complete ways to handle patching.
Patch My PC might automate third-party patching...
… But patches aren’t enough to keep your business safe
Patch My PC acts as a plug-in for Intune and MECM. It helps automate patching, but that’s only one part of a much bigger cybersecurity picture.
Patching is just one layer
Patch My PC focuses on third-party application updates. That’s important, but without controls for access, network traffic, and real-time threats, it leaves big gaps in your defense.
Fragile vulnerability management
Patch My PC can push patches automatically. But if an update causes issues, there is no easy rollback. That adds risk every time you install something new.
Limited visibility
It has no threat detection, endpoint telemetry, or correlation between risk signals. You can’t see the full context around each vulnerability, which makes it harder to prioritize the right patches.
No real-time exploit blocking
If a zero-day hits before a patch is ready, Patch My PC can’t help. There is no behavioral analysis or exploit prevention. You’re exposed.
