Mac Apps vs Patch management

I used to use Mac Apps but got feedback from my users of notification fatigue, especially around things like chrome. I started using App Auto Patch (https://github.com/App-Auto-Patch/App-Auto-Patch) instead that runs on a 30 day cadence. My users like it much better. Especially since it allows deferrals.

Patch Management is a tool from a long ago era of device management and is really just a convoluted policy with some built in Extension Attributes. Really all patch management is useful for now is patch reporting. I have not actively used Patch Management in a few years.

if you need to patch an App immediately , Patch Management gives better result as its nothing but a Policy, So there are high chances the Patches are getting deployed to the devices once its check-in.  and its also useful for generating reports and dashboards .

Thanks for this, currently I haven't receive any complains from user about notifications fatigue. I'll def check your App-Auto-Patch.

I just recently diving to JAMF patches delivery, I'm just slightly confuse since Patch Management (obviously) for patching but in Mac Apps there is also an option that enforced updates, which I think is just the same for updating patches.
