Shavlik Netchk Protect gets a "Best Buy" 5-star rating from SC Magazine

Editors call Shavlik NetChk Protect an "excellent product with a fantastic feature set".

Biodata, a local distributor of US-based Shavlik Technologies, announces that Shavlik NetChk Protect has earned a 5-star rating and “Best Buy” designation in a Patch Management Group Test, published in the February edition of SC Magazine.

In the review of leading patch management solutions, Shavlik NetChk Protect scored five stars in features, performance, ease-of-use, documentation, support and value for money.

According to the editors: “The initial interface seemed intuitive, and after a few minutes, it becomes clear how the information is organised. There are initial dashboard views that provide an executive summary of the status of your assets, as well as several ways to view the overall organisation - based on patches, machine groups, etc. The console itself is easy to use and discovery and management of assets was fairly straightforward as well.”

“We are thrilled that the reviewers at SC Magazine think so highly of Shavlik NetChk Protect for simplifying the patch process for Microsoft operating systems and also for ubiquitous applications like Adobe Reader and Apple QuickTime,” said Mark Shavlik, president and CEO, Shavlik Technologies. “While we concur on the 5-star rating for each category, it's the opinion of the reviewers that determines which patch management solution is designated a 'Best Buy', and we're pleased that the editors agree with the thousands of satisfied users of Shavlik NetChk Protect.

“The recognition the reviewers gave our robust set of features for asset discovery and management, anti-virus, anti-spyware, and software distribution is particularly satisfying,” said Shavlik. “We added these capabilities in response to our customer needs. The fact the reviewers see their value helps to validate our decisions and direction.”

Biodata assures that Shavlik NetChk Protect is a top solution for lowering operational costs and increasing visibility and control. Shavlik NetChk Protect simplifies and automates identifying and fixing gaps in tasks such as anti-virus and anti-spyware, asset discovery, configuration management, and patch management.
