It is the most effective solution when applying updates to the equipment when there is a high number, so applying individually would take too much time unlike doing it simultaneously in a more comfortable and simple way, in which you can monitor the processes, apart is a safer and the most optimal measure at the time of performing this type of activities in companies.
