We don’t really have a dedicated SharePoint Administrator so we’re trying to figure out how often we should be applying SharePoint patches or cumulative updates to our farm.
In your opinion, is it better to:
- Apply them right away whenever they come out
- Wait until a couple come out and then apply them on a -2 schedule
- Wait until a service pack comes out and apply them all at once
- Only apply a patch if it fixes a specific issue that you are experiencing or a potential security threat
- If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it – don’t do anything until you upgrade to SharePoint vNext

Combination of 3 and 4 for me in the case of ongoing maintenance, although for a new install, I go with whatever Todd Klindt says, as others have already mentioned.
That said, I tend to read up on each CU when it comes out, to see if there are any useful fixes, e.g. performance improvements, etc. just in case.
