Hear from our customers
From urgency to strategy
“Vicarius allowed us to step away from reactive patching and finally manage vulnerabilities with strategy instead of urgency.”

Third-party software patching is the most valuable feature.
"We have automated third-party patching on specific software, improving efficiency by 80%. vRx has reduced our patching time, which has improved our operations. It is more robust than other solutions because it offers better third-party remediation."
Billy Turner
VP, Managed Technology & Services
Single source of truth, capable of handling any application in our fleet
"vRx gives a single pane of glass to see what patches needed to go out and what sort of vulnerabilities we have on our Windows machines. Our meantime to remediate vulnerabilities has gone down by about 60% to 70%."
