You do not need something to differentiate it since it is simply a UNIQUE product, not to mention very new and useful, thanks to WSUS I keep the office network equipment fully updated with the various applications developed by Microsoft.

The truth is that WSUS is a product that has worked wonderfully for me at all times, I keep my equipment updated and being a centralized server that connects to Microsoft's servers in search of updates, I fully conserve the bandwidth of my company, so it seems to me that the tool does not have negative aspects
