Why Automated Patching Matters for Intune

Keeping apps up to date across your Intune-managed estate is one of the most time-consuming tasks in endpoint management. Here's how automation changes that.

The problem

Every time a vendor releases an update, someone on your team has to:

1. Notice the update exists
2. Download the installer
3. Repackage it for Intune
4. Test the deployment
5. Roll it out to devices

Multiply that by dozens of apps and it quickly becomes unsustainable.

How Robopatch solves this

Robopatch monitors your apps for new versions and handles the entire update cycle automatically:

• Detects new versions as soon as they're released
• Packages them using your existing PSADT templates
• Deploys through staged waves — pilot group first, then broader rollout
• Tracks success rates before advancing to the next wave

You set it up once and it runs on its own.
