Definitely take a look at ECM (Enterprise Configuration Manager) from
ConfigureSoft (no, not part of Microsoft - although the name does kinda lean
that way, huh?)  

ECM is a vulnerability assessment/patch management tool and a LOT more and
it is completely worth it.

I manage about 80 servers and 300 pcs with it in a Windows AD environment
and have just barely scratched the surface of what it can do.

Take a look at update expert from St. Bernard Software too. 

It's working well for us... but I haven't used the other products
you mention so I can't comment on how well it stacks up against
them.

Hello...
We are looking at obtaining a product that will allow us to easily apply
updates / patches (e.g., Microsoft patches) to our PCs located in our
student computer labs...approximately 200 PCs.  I've been looking at
various products such as PatchLink and HFNetChkPro.  I've also seen some
messages on this listserv regarding SUS, but I'm not familiar with that
product.

With the above in mind, can anyone recommend a product that's easy to
install and use and does a good job in patch management?
Thanks.
