| Headquarters | Pleasanton, California, USA | London, United Kingdom |
| Integrations | The integrated console lists Tenable Security, Tenable Vulnerability Management, Rapid7, ServiceDesk Plus, CrowdStrike and Analytics Plus integrations. | Documented integrations include Discord, getHomepage, Ansible and Proxmox LXC auto-enrollment. |
| Licence | The EULA grants a non-exclusive, non-transferable binary software licence and states that Zoho retains ownership, so the product is proprietary rather than open source. | The Community Edition and repository are licensed under AGPLv3. |
| Public API | A documented REST API uses OAuth 2.0 and JSON, with endpoints for patch installation, scans, approvals, automated deployment tasks, agents, computers and reports. | PatchMon publishes versioned REST APIs with an embedded OpenAPI browser and scoped credentials using Basic Authentication. |
| Purpose | Patch Manager Plus automates patch management tasks from scanning and assessment through deployment and reporting. | PatchMon provides a central dashboard for patch monitoring across Linux, FreeBSD, and Windows fleets. |
| Security controls | Security guidance covers HTTPS, third-party certificates, two-factor authentication, role-based access, certificate-based agent authentication and TLS 1.2 defaults. | PatchMon states that traffic uses TLS, agent credentials are hashed, least privilege is used and patch actions are fully audited. |
It suits administrators responsible for patching Windows, Mac, and Linux endpoints, including third-party applications. The Free edition is listed for small businesses with up to 20 workstations and five servers.
PatchMon suits infrastructure teams responsible for mixed server fleets, from small startups to organizations with a thousand hosts. The self-hosted edition fits teams prepared to manage their own server operations.
