Patch InsightsPatch Insights

  • 1E Patch Insights provides an overview of the last-mile patching required on your environment. It is centered around the final stages of your monthly patching process, with a view to allowing you to identify the problematic devices in your environment. At this point of its development, Patch Insights does not remediate the cause of patch failures, or the inability to reach devices, but gives a view of these, and once manual remediation action has been taken, the ability exists within Patch Insights to redeploy the failed patches, using the power of 1E.

    Patch Insights from 1E is an important part of keeping your devices secure, performant, and healthy, this has become even more important than ever with hybrid work becoming the norm and employees embracing remote work. Patch Insights brings visibility, clarity, and peace of mind around device patching. Research and testing is made easier with comprehensive device and patch views. Vulnerabilities can be detected and closed in real-time using the patch-view dashboard, and the power of Actions, via Endpoint Troubleshooting.

1E Dashboards1E Dashboards

  • It's important to measure or evaluate the way that your organization is performing in terms of your employee Digital EXperience (DEX). This measure lets you know how good your employee day-to-day experience is of your company's IT systems, how happy they are working in your company, and how likely they are to stay with you.

    In many organizations, the ability to gain insight into your DEX KPIs involves gathering data from multiple applications and departments, then analyzing and correlating it to determine if the user experience and sentiment are trending up or down. A bigger challenge is understanding if the tools and processes you have in place are improving end-user productivity.

    This 1E Labs release is now available by default in 1E 9.0.
