About Automox
Automox is a cloud-based cyber hygiene and patch management solution that helps enterprises streamline endpoint protection and minimize cyber threats across all devices. The centralized platform comes with an administrative dashboard for users to gain an overview of devices requiring patch approvals, system updates, or troubleshooting.
Automox lets businesses create custom policies to maintain compliance across processes, and inform clients about upcoming patches by sending emergency notifications. Managers can configure approval workflows, filter policies based on names or severity classifications, and view available software assets. Users can utilize the activity log to monitor ongoing patches, and generate multiple reports on patch summaries, non-compliant devices, or internal impacts.
Automox enables enterprises to sort inventory into various groups based on departments, regions, or operating systems (OS), and grant access to specific users. Businesses can retrieve existing log file entries to facilitate debugging and whitelisting processes. Plus, users can create worklets in the admin console to enforce scriptable action across all endpoints.

We had a very successful POC which showed how much time we would be saving using their platform.
Automox can automatically deploy patches endpoints need for OS or third-party applications.
I'm also very excited about the features they will be adding to their platform.
Pros
I love how responsive the product is for being agent-based.
Multi-platform support makes it easy to use one product for your patching and software deployment needs.
Automatic scanning which uncovers which patches are needed for installed applications/OS.
Their live dashboard makes it easy to determine the level of compliance.
Their built-in live chat makes it easy to connect with Support to resolve issues.
Cons
Their current reporting makes for troubleshooting deployment issues difficult sometimes but their support is top-notch and I've been told this is being addressed as is on their roadmap.
Response from Automox
Thanks for the great review, Nathan! We're glad to hear you're having a great experience with Automox. Reporting updates are absolutely on the roadmap. Stay tuned for exciting reporting updates coming soon!

It's been a blessing, especially now all our workers are allowed to work remotely as much as they like. Without it, we'd have a real problem managing patches and enforcing certain system settings that used to require a VPN connection (sometimes rarely connected) or being in the office.
Pros
It's really easy to use and configure, which is great when you're a small team with a limited budget, but the thing I love most is that it's cross-platform, so we don't need 3 or 4 tools, scripts, or manual updates to manage all different Operating Systems and applications we use.
Cons
The dashboard is, well, pretty ugly, and doesn't really offer any customisation. I'd love to see UI update and custom charts based off search criteria.

The tool was great at first but when we tried to patch devices we kept having errors. The help desk takes weeks to respond and they can't seem to get issues resolved. There's too much back and forth and issues not getting fixed.
Pros
The dashboard is nice and allows a user to see what devices need to be patched.
Cons
The Help desk is hard to get in touch with. The help desk takes a long time to respond to issues. They need to manage a better help desk. Tickets go unresolved for weeks or months and devices can't be patched.

Outstanding. Product has done exactly what is advertised (patch management) at a fair price. Support has also been great for the few times I had needed to reach out. They stayed on top of the ticket until it was resolved.
Pros
As a very small department with hundreds of computers with various software packages installed, I needed a way to top-down see the patch cadence. Automox was quick to deploy and quick to start getting results that I could take action on.
Cons
The core patch anagement features are great, but since there's an agent there may be some additional capability that could be added: Send message to user, shutdown computer, uninstall software, etc.
