I want to give it a try but like all new features, I wasnt sure how well it worked. Has anyone been using it and if so how well does it work?

Thanks

Mark

It works well for what it is - patch reporting to see what versions your apps/plugins are at. It doesn't really patch anything yet.

@CasperSally I didn't realize it didn't do the actual patching. Thanks.

It works pretty well for us, there are some limitations though, I wish the patch reporting main page had an option for current production version, otherwise the moment your not deploying the absolute latest version the reporting becomes rather meaningless.
It's very helpful for determining which machines need patching though, much easier than the previously scripted method we did have.
