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!

Support team is awesome and fast to respond. Customer care team is good on checking in and making sure you have what you need. Fairly informative on new features and downtimes are next to nothing with Automox.

Pros

I like that the time the time to implement Automox and how easy it is to use was the biggest pro to Automox. Within 4 hours I had our entire server environment ready to patch and get caught up after our last patching solution had been pulled for over 4 months.

Cons

Only hard part with Automox is writing worklets and understanding how it works and what permissions the agent has to the machine to make registry changes or deploying non standard software to the machine.

MSP ditched us and we needed to find a new solution that we could maintain.

Overall we use it to track and push patches for Windows and 3rd party and we use it to push software. The software push capability is especially nice since we are able to push anything that can be done in Powershell to the client, even if they are remote.

Pros

The Automox console is very easy to use and navigate. If you are a Powershell junkie you will love the software push capability through PS. It does a great job of keeping track of clients outside my network.

Cons

There are many times when we have to reboot a machine just to get it to show as compatible again. It works well but sometimes we have to do the reboots on 30 machines to get them to all show up.

Game changer

Fantastic. Really, really great product. It does all you need it to and more.

Fantastic. Really, really great product. It does all you need it to and more.

Pros

Easy to use, easy to deploy, patch everything on your laptops. Create worklets to do anything on your machines. No matter where they are or where you are.This application helped to reduce vulnerabilities on our estate from 10,000's to 100's. we were using SCCM but would never leave Automox now.Great support and really well priced.

Cons

They have a new feature for remote access that was good, it uses VNC. only issue was you could only connect to one machine at a time. No IT person only connects to one machine at a time! so if they can change it to multiple machines then I might be interested in taking that option.

Reasons for Switching to Automox

Just better than the others, better priced, nicer UI, and nothing has changed my opinion since signing up.
