Vicarius

Microsoft Intune

Security that doesn’t stop at patching

Many endpoint tools struggle with third-party and non-Windows patching, lack real-time risk clarity, and offer no protection before fixes arrive. Vicarius bridges these gaps with in-memory shielding, intelligent remediation, full OS/app coverage, and risk-prioritized automation, all from a single, unified platform.

How Vicarius compares to Microsoft Intune

Capabilities

Remediation built-in

Automated, in-platform remediation with scheduling, scripting, and guided patching

Provides security tasks via Defender, remediation is manual and limited to supported tasks only

Virtual patching

Enables virtual patching for zero-days and unsupported software

Not supported

Cross-platform support

Full patching for Windows, Linux, macOS, and over 10,000 third-party applications

Able to natively patch Windows and Microsoft apps, Linux, macOS, and third-party apps need external tools for patching.

Agent-based & agentless modes

Offers both agent-based and agentless scanning for flexible deployment across asset types

Agent-based only, no built-in agentless scanning mode, not detecting network devices

Real-time risk validation

Validates exploitability in live environments using telemetry, not simulated exploits

Uses Defender integration, lacks live exploit validation and immediate remediation paths

Multi-tenancy for MSSPs

MSSP-friendly architecture with tenant isolation, delegated roles, and centralized control

Intune is single-tenant per organization, complex for multi-tenant MSP workflows

Workflow Automation

Unified platform for detection, prioritization, and remediation, minimizing tool sprawl

Patch management and threat tasks are separate, no integrated end-to-end remediation

Ease of deployment

Modern, cloud-native UI with fast onboarding and centralized console

Cloud-native and easy to access, but native patching, especially for third-party applications, remains manual and complex.

Coverage depth

Covers vulnerabilities across system, app, network, and even patchless or legacy systems

Limited to known CVEs, tasks, poor visibility for legacy or shadow IT, manual scripting needed

Customer satisfaction

G2: 4.9 / Gartner: 4.8 praised for ease of use, performance, and support

G2: 4.5 / Gartner: 4.3 criticized for management complexity and limited patching tools

Product tour

Vicarius key differentiators

Protected beyond patches

When zero-day threats emerge, there’s no time to wait for vendor patches. Vicarius instantly shields vulnerable apps, securing memory and executables, so you’re protected even before a fix is available.

Coverage that leaves no gaps

Whether your environment includes Linux servers, macOS laptops, or legacy third-party apps, Vicarius deploys automated, broad-spectrum patching. Intune manages only a narrow OS subset and lacks native third-party app support.

Fix what matters most

Not every vulnerability poses the same danger. Vicarius prioritizes flaws based on real-world exploitability and business impact, ensuring your team acts on risks that actually matter, not just noisy CVEs.

One platform, seamless action

From discovery to risk analysis to remediation verification, everything happens in one unified interface. No context-switching, no manual handoffs, just faster, smarter vulnerability resolution.

Tailor-made fixes, effortlessly

Need to apply bespoke scripts? Vicarius empowers your team with a scripting engine that automates complex fixes, whether registry tweaks, config changes, or custom workflows, without the headache.

Reclaim teams’ time

No more firefighting or repetitive patch cycles. Customers report slashing remediation time by up to 80%, with automation that lets security teams focus on strategic work, not mundane tasks.

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.”

Anonymous IT Division Manager

IT Division Manager

EL AL secures global Patch Compliance

“Within two weeks we decided on Vicarius. Patch scheduling is now a one-day task instead of a full-time job.”

Tal Shachar

Deputy Director, Infrastructure, EL AL Airlines

Complete Vulnerability Remediation Platform

"What stood out was that it wasn’t just a scanner or a patch manager. It was an entire remediation platform. You discover vulnerabilities, prioritize based on real risk, and remediate automatically."

Eric Dowsland

Chief Customer Officer

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%."

Peter Fallowfield

IT Manager

60% faster remediation, many hours saved

"Typically, with our previous solution of ManageEngine, it took about three hours to patch Windows Server, and now, that is less than an hour. It means less downtime for the business each month when we do patches."

Anonymous Security Analyst

Security Analyst

Great patching capabilities, helpful dashboard, and excellent support

"vRx has saved us an incredible amount of time. We can just rely on the automated system and the schedules we've set. It's a huge time saver. It's saved us hundreds of hours."

Michael Cortez

Sr. Director of IT

My favorite feature is Patchless Protection

"With Vicarius' vRx, I've never seen a patch that failed or had to be rolled back. We're saving quite a bit of time. Our clients using vRx haven't had any issues, and they've easily established patching for all their endpoints."

Jeremy Herman

Security Engineer

Unified vulnerability discovery, prioritization, and remediation

"Vicarius streamlines vulnerability management between IT & Security by directly linking identified vulnerabilities to required patches, enhancing efficiency. The automation process has saved at least 30 percent of our manual tasks."

Wayne Ajimine

Information Security Professional

Patchless Protection is an incredible technology!

"vRx reduces the time customers spend on patching by reducing the overhead on the administrators, allowing them to do additional work. It saves time they would spend addressing the patching process, follow-ups, etc."
