What differentiates Windows Server Update Services from other similar products?
You do not need something to differentiate it since it is simply a UNIQUE product, not to mention very new and useful, thanks to WSUS I keep the office network equipment fully updated with the various applications developed by Microsoft.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
My favorite aspect of WSUS is in the first place its friendly interface, which allows us to manage the computers as in a kind of active directory in which we can create groups by operating systems and in this way apply the corresponding updates to each of these equipment
What do you dislike most about this product?
The truth is that WSUS is a product that has worked wonderfully for me at all times, I keep my equipment updated and being a centralized server that connects to Microsoft's servers in search of updates, I fully conserve the bandwidth of my company, so it seems to me that the tool does not have negative aspects
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
I fully recommend the implementation of a WSUS and thus avoid internet consumption problems and additionally keep each and every one of your computers with Windows Operating System, fully updated

- Helps Innovate
