Windows OS

Keep your Windows 10/11 and Windows Server endpoints secure and compliant by automating patch deployments and report generation in just a few clicks. Avoid unexpected downtime by remediating vulnerabilities with phased, risk-free, autonomous rollouts.

macOS

Automate patching across your entire macOS fleet. Identify vulnerabilities and missing updates in real time, test patches thoroughly, and schedule seamless deployments to turn manual patching into a set-it-and-forget-it process.

Linux

Keep your Linux distributions secure and stable with automated updates that never fall behind. Less downtime, stronger security, no manual overhead—just patching that works.

Automate the Entire Patch Management Process

Action1 enhances Microsoft Intune by extending its capabilities with a reliable and consistent patch management platform that is configurable in under 5 minutes—and it just works! Regardless of where your endpoints are situated, it automates the entire software update process, from scanning your network for missing updates, to installing patch updates to multiple endpoints in minutes and reporting on compliance status. Using Action1 alongside Intune can provide your organization with a more complete patch management solution that covers third-party patching, real-time visibility, and efficient update distribution.

Third-party patch repository

Action1’s privately maintained software repository covers 99% of typical enterprise software titles. Managed by our in-house experts, it eliminates manual application packaging, ensuring your software is always up-to-date and secure.

Private P2P Patch Distribution

Once an endpoint downloads a patch or update, the file gets shared across the rest of the endpoints on the same network, minimizing external bandwidth usage and accelerating large update deployments. No local appliances or cache servers to manage, just faster patching with less network strain.

Real-time missing patch visibility

Identify missing third-party application patches across each of your endpoints in real time. With Action1, you gain live visibility into which apps are running outdated versions, so you can deploy updates before they lead to cyberattacks, system instability, or regulatory fines.

Automated, Policy-Based Remediation

Define your patching strategy the way you want it. Updates can be deployed immediately or at specific times, with offline endpoints catching up automatically when they reconnect. You set the rules. Action1 does the rest.

Minimize frustration, increase security

Customize reboot behavior to give your users enough time to save their work, let them delay reboots temporarily, and still enforce your patching deadlines without disrupting their workflow or surprising them mid-task.

Zero Manual Agent Maintenance

Keep the Action1 agent on each of your endpoints up to date in Intune without any manual effort, as the integration downloads the latest version, compares it to what’s deployed, and updates it automatically when a newer one is available.

How does Action1 complement Microsoft Intune?

As a strategic addition to Microsoft Intune®, Action1 enhances Microsoft’s device management software with advanced, cloud-native patching and vulnerability management, designed to scale seamlessly and ensure real-time endpoint security.

Action1 complements Microsoft Intune, augmenting Intune’s device management capabilities with its Autonomous Endpoint Management solution. This includes real-time patching and vulnerability assessments for operating systems and third-party applications, along with features like offline device patching and peer-to-peer (P2P) distribution. These capabilities offer an additional layer of compliance and protection, tailored for hybrid work environments.

What are the benefits for your business to incorporate Action1 with MS Intune?

Incorporating Action1 with Microsoft Intune offers several significant benefits for your business:

Enhanced Third-Party Application Patching: While Intune’s native support for third-party software patching is limited, Action1 automates this process across a wide range of applications. This ensures that vulnerabilities in non-Microsoft software are promptly addressed without needing extra steps or integrations.
Real-Time Vulnerability Assessment: Unlike Intune’s scheduled compliance scans, Action1 provides continuous, real-time visibility into endpoint vulnerabilities. This proactive monitoring helps identify and mitigate risks faster, reducing the time between detection and remediation.
Automated Remediation: Action1 streamlines patching with detailed, policy-driven automation for both operating systems and third-party software. This significantly reduces manual workloads and ensures consistent compliance across all endpoints.
Peer-to-Peer Patch Distribution: Action1’s peer-to-peer patch distribution supports non-Microsoft updates, optimizing bandwidth usage and enabling efficient patch deployment in distributed or bandwidth-constrained environments. This is a notable improvement over Intune’s Delivery Optimization, which is primarily effective for Microsoft updates.
Free Trial for First 200 Endpoints: Action1 offers a lifetime license for the first 200 endpoints at no cost, allowing organizations to indefinitely trial the solution before full-scale implementation. This helps businesses experience the benefits firsthand without any financial commitment.
Compliance and Security Certifications: Action1 is certified with SOC 2 and ISO 27001, making it the first in patch management to achieve both standards. Additionally, it supports HIPAA, PCI DSS, CIS CSC, ACSC, and GLBA/FFIEC, enabling organizations to meet diverse regulatory requirements and strengthen endpoint security.
Global Reach and Reliability: Action1’s strategically located data centers worldwide ensure fast patch deployment, supporting enterprises in scaling patch management with confidence. This is backed by robust and globally compliant infrastructure.

By integrating Action1 with Microsoft Intune, your business can enhance its endpoint security, streamline patch management, and ensure compliance with various regulatory standards, all while benefiting from a reliable and scalable solution.
