Here's what people are saying about HFNetChkPro™ 4.0:

"The HFNetChkPro™ ships with a command-line facility but its GUI is the best of the products we reviewed - very intuitive and easy to use. " - NetworkWorldFusion Magazine 3/03/03

"HFNetChkPro™ 4.0 is very intuitive, powerful and complete. The product's simplicity takes a difficult and time consuming process - patch installation and deployment - and turns it into an effortless task." - Dan Lefebvre, senior network administrator for Advanced Monolithic Systems, Inc. "

"Patch deployment and management is an extremely time-consuming task, that is all-too-often ignored. But the cost of procrastination can far exceed the cost of staying current, as the recent Slammer worm demonstrated. Patch automation solutions such as Shavlik's HFNetChkPro™ can save time for IT administrators and enable enterprises to stay current - and protected in the face of known, and avoidable vulnerabilities." - Eric Hemmendinger, research director for security and privacy at Aberdeen Group. "

"HFNetChkPro™ 4.0 represents the culmination of years of research and development, working closely with our customers and Microsoft, to automate patch management's most difficult and time consuming tasks. Our engineers have delivered on their promise to create a robust, automated tool that empowers network managers to dramatically reduce the amount of time it takes them to update and secure their Microsoft networks. Additionally, HFNetChkPro™ 4.0's new management, collaboration and knowledge management capabilities dramatically increase the ROI of the patch management process.
