Make your life 100x easier **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** James O. | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 12, 2024 **What do you like best about Automox?** Automox is a dream to work with. At every step in my organization's journey with 3rd party patching, automox has delivered . Implementation of the product is a breeze with numerous ways to accomplish this initial task. Additionally, documentation for virtually every use case is available in the support portal via knowledgebase articles or offical manuals. While limited in some areas, the documentation is clear in its construction and organized in a sensical way. If you encounter a problem you can't solve through the knowledge base, the Customer Support has got your back. They are responsive, knowledgeable, and reliable when troubleshooting the "unseen" and novel errors or issues that come with rolling out any product for the first time. My organization has not encountered an issue that Automox Support did not know how to resolve. Support for the product is fantastic, easy, and effective. The range of features is extensive as it currently stands and it is still growing (almost daily) when you consider the worklet catalog. Reporting from automox albeit somewhat limited, is effective. Device management from a singular device or a group of devices is well thought out and contains all the functions or features you would need. If not, check out the worklet catalog...odds are someone has written something that can accomplish what you want to do. In our organization, we oversee hundreds of systems and utilize automox daily for patching and keeping up with the ever evolving threat landscape. It has completely offloaded a stress and manual process that used to take roughly 4-6 hours, depending on how the computers wanted to act that day. It has integrated seamlessly into our environment and drastically reduced the time to work on this critical task. Building out the policies is easy, organizing your systems is intuitive (if you don't do it when onboarding devices, I highly reccommend it). TLDR: We don't have to worry, automox took an age old process, offloaded the mundane, and reduced our time spent working on patching and device management, and streamlined our workflows. I highly reccommend the service and would absolutely consider it a necessity for any IT department. **What do you dislike about Automox?** The one thing I wish was more flushed out, is the reporting within automox. Some of the reports are limited in the information they provide and I find myself stringing together different reports to satisfy my organization's needs. With that being said, I've contacted our account representative and they have been transparent in addressing this slight issue. I feel heard in my concern and understand that this issue is actively being researched and developed. Our rep even sent over a method to try and work around this issue, so its really just a matter of time before this feature catches up. Again, its not a "make-or-break" issue, its a feature request. Considering how amazing the rest of the product is, I know its only a matter of time before my opinion on the reporting functionality is completely reversed. **What problems is Automox solving and how is that benefiting you?** Its offloading an ever-present technical problem faced by all IT departments to automation and the cloud. My department now has time to focus on other projects and implementations that will further increase the value we generate for our organization. ### 21.

The sessions disconnect all the time if you can get it to even connect. I have waited 7 minutes for it to fail. I did this several times before a successful connection. the worklets would be good if you could actually run the policy. Out of 5 trys to run the policy, only 1 ran. There is no inventory for the systems. There aren't any notifications to alert if a machine disconnects or has any issues really. **What problems is Automox solving and how is that benefiting you?** it isn't. It's actually causing more problems and slowing responses down to users having issues. and to top it off, you have to pay to have these problems. worst system I have ever used. I had to open a case about the site ending our sessions within 30 minutes when we set it to stay logged for 8 hours, the support told me to use a browser extension and I never heard back until weeks later when automox finally addressed the issue. **Official Response from Ashley Smith:** > Hi there, I'm so sorry that you've had this experience and this sounds like a very frustrating problem to have. If you like, you can reach out to me at ashley.smith@automox.com, and we can dive deeper into these issues and I can enlist a few engineers who might be able to help.

Intuitive patch management system **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Information Technology and Services | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 07, 2024 **What do you like best about Automox?** So far it's more comprenensive than other patch management platforms I've used and has a very intuitive interface. **What do you dislike about Automox?** Reports could use some improvement, it doesn't seem to be customizable. **What problems is Automox solving and how is that benefiting you?** Managing OS and third party patching across multiple OS ### 41. It's a good tool - could be more automated **Rating:** 2.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Building Materials | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 22, 2024 **What do you like best about Automox?** Easy to navigate, nice dashboard, tagging available **What do you dislike about Automox?** Not enough support updates not patched in automatically sometimes overall number of devices needing atttention is always high **What problems is Automox solving and how is that benefiting you?** patching updates ### 42. A great cloud patch management solution **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Automotive | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 08, 2024 **What do you like best about Automox?** 1. It's a cloud solution, and can be accessed from anywhere. 2. It supports Windows, Linux and MacOS systems 3. It's easy to use and manage **What do you dislike about Automox?** Some times you need to create Worklets to patch/run an update instead of just letting the system do everything automatically. **What problems is Automox solving and how is that benefiting you?** It is solving our security issues when all of our systems are being patched automatically each day, even when some are not On-Prem. It supports our mixed system operations. ### 43. Automox is the automated patch management we needed **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** John G. | Network Operations Manager, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** September 26, 2023 **What do you like best about Automox?** It doesn't do things it doesn't need to. They don't package a ton of things in the software I don't want. It's patch management and software distribution. I really do like the software reporting as well. **What do you dislike about Automox?** We haven't come across too many downsides other than the constant reboot requests. It's been working well for use overall. It will not show the machine as scanned and ready to accept patches if it's waiting on reboots from the user. Even though we have it set to reboot when needed there are still many times a manual reboot is required. **What problems is Automox solving and how is that benefiting you?** I don't have to manage WSUS anymore. That is a very big one plus. It is also able to push software packages over the web without the need for a VPN. ### 44. Automox was a job saver **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Nick P. | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 11, 2023 **What do you like best about Automox?** Automox is simple and easy to use and the worklets library is amazing place to find pre-built commands. We were easily able to identify and update 150 Windows 10 machines to the latest build overnight which was a nightmare for us before on our old system. **What do you dislike about Automox?** Reporting is great but could be better when using custom worklets. Output isnt always informative unless you write it to be. **What problems is Automox solving and how is that benefiting you?** Patching, new software installs, and third party software updates ### 45. One of our best relationships **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Government Administration | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 18, 2023 **What do you like best about Automox?** It was hard making the case of why we wanted to scrap SCCM and move to another platform that was more robust. I brought Automox in for a POV because I liked their roadmap, vision, and openness to work with us on maturing the product. Immediately it showed value, identifying three products in our portfolio of hundreds that were accounting for 45% of our overall risk profile. They were products it would have taken us bending over backwards and using both SCCM and WSUS, utilizing at least three FTEs over the course of weeks to get that information out of all our systems. Automox provided it within the first scan, and was foundational to my team centralizing all patching across the environment to one person. We've never looked back since. The Automox team has been truly invested in our success. **What do you dislike about Automox?** My biggest hit against the platform are around reporting and data trending capabilities. The reporting has not kept up with the maturing of the platform and it's functionality. The only other tub I have it the ability to see across the totality of our environment and get numbers to continue to show maturation and ROI. The have been great about this too, and I've had the opportunity to engage directly with leadership to work toward meaningful reporting. **What problems is Automox solving and how is that benefiting you?** Provides us with heterogeneous portfolio support, being able to patch and upgrade all MS products, as well as numerous third-party products. We use it to configure assets, push links to desktops (very big deal when you're a 24x7 organization that requires high uptime, so pulling Mobile Data Terminals out of vehicles just to add a new desktop link because we updated a mission-critical is a game changer. It has helped us get our arms around configuration slip across the fleet and our automation. I never thought I'd get to the point in my career where my teams are patching weekly with no disruption to the business. The customer support has been huge in our success, working with my team to develop automations, integrations, and worklets if they can't find them in the community portal. Prior to Automox I had little visibility into our asset health, which resulted in upgrades never being pushed out, even though the teams thought they were, Automox gave me the story to show leadership we had six FTEs across four teams patching inconsistently and that the process has low efficacy. Now we run the entire patching program, servers, workstations,MDCs, and laptops with one dedicated FTE and the old teams welcomed the new process because they saw it wouldn't blow up their world or take away their authority. ### 46. Excellent patch management **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Richard T. | Senior System Administrator, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** March 14, 2023 **What do you like best about Automox?** Automox is really great with the patching process. We've created several policies for different items. We have a policy that automatically updates web browsers and select 3rd party software. It is really robust and allowes **What do you dislike about Automox?** We had some issues earlier on with the Agent and connectivity. We also lost our Automox onboarding Team member randomly and were not informated in a timely mannor (we showed up to a scheduled meeting and the link was inactive and an email to them bounced back). We eventually got back on track with a new team member from Automox and they helped us get things rolling! I believe the reports feature could use improvements. **What problems is Automox solving and how is that benefiting you?** Windows updates were being managed on prem by WSUS. that solution is outdated and horrible. Microsoft would rather you do things individually but we could not get realtime information on what machines were updated and which ones were not. ### 47. Automox - a simple but very effective tool to use. **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Andrii I. | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** May 15, 2023 **What do you like best about Automox?** - Automox has a very user-friendly and intuitive interface; - it is most helpful in automated patching of remote devices in multiple locations; - it has cross-platform support; - if there is a task that cannot be implemented through the console or API, then it can be completed using PowerShell or Bash scripts (worklets). **What do you dislike about Automox?** - there is no detailed report on ALL actions in the console, both mine and other administrators, and accordingly it is not always clear who made this or that change. **What problems is Automox solving and how is that benefiting you?** Automox assists us in managing vulnerabilities centrally and complying with standards by keeping all devices updated. And it allows us to free up time and resources by patching devices automatically instead of manually. ### 48. I have enjoyed automox and using it and support has been very responsive when needed. **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Erich B. | Security analyst II, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** May 25, 2022 **What do you like best about Automox?** I love the support that is given. They help with things that are not technically automox problems. They are extremely responsive and their help with the api is amazing. **What do you dislike about Automox?** There really is not any dislike other than the fact that lately, they have had a rememberal number of unscheduled downtime issues. Not a huge number but it became concerning when I could recall that i happened before. **Recommendations to others considering Automox:** It is a great product with lots of potential **What problems is Automox solving and how is that benefiting you?** We solved general patching as well as software deployments. There most helpful things that they did was uninstall unneeded programs. ### 49. Automox is an excellent option for patch devices **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Andry C. | Technical Support, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 10, 2022 **What do you like best about Automox?** For me, the best part of Automox is the easier of use, the new option of remediation and the community. I can find a lot of interesting information there. **What do you dislike about Automox?** I dislike that sometimes the update has issues and some devices appear disconnected. **What problems is Automox solving and how is that benefiting you?** Now with Automox, I can monitor the devices and apply the patch using the schedule, which helps the organization prevent cyber attacks. ### 50. Wonderful Tool **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Eric G. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** March 08, 2023 **What do you like best about Automox?** I have been impressed by Automox from the beginning. Once we purchased, there was a slight learning curve. Automox support was great in answering any questions that I had to get started. Once we had it set up, it just works. I log in to the console once in a while to check things out, but other than that there is no input required. It just works! **What do you dislike about Automox?** I cannot think of any nagatives. My sytems, both servers and desktops stay up to date with updates. **What problems is Automox solving and how is that benefiting you?** Automox eliminates the need to either manually patch our systems, or rely on the Windows service. On top of the Windows updates, it also keeps many other software packages up to date. ## Automox Discussions - [What is 3rd party patching?](https://www.g2.com/discussions/what-is-3rd-party-patching) - [What is patch management software?](https://www.g2.com/discussions/what-is-patch-management-software) - [Where is Automox based?](https://www.g2.com/discussions/where-is-automox-based) - [What does Automox do?](https://www.g2.com/discussions/what-does-automox-do) - [View Automox pricing details and edition comparison](https://www.g2.com/products/automox/reviews?page=5§ion=pricing&secure%5Bexpires_at%5D=2026-07-18+12%3A51%3A12+-0500&secure%5Bsession_id%5D=301b69e7-40a9-4029-9f73-6dd24b7e1d8c&secure%5Btoken%5D=1a39a06b4590e10f7364de9d10e776d56d8631bbeaaf02a1a8bac1456c7d1670&format=llm_user) ## Automox Integrations - [ActiveDirectory Domain Controller for Windows 2016](https://www.g2.com/products/activedirectory-domain-controller-for-windows-2016/reviews) - [Axonius](https://www.g2.com/products/axonius/reviews) - [Jamf](https://www.g2.com/products/jamf/reviews) - [Microsoft Intune Enterprise Application Management](https://www.g2.com/products/microsoft-intune-enterprise-application-management/reviews) - [Splashtop Remote Access](https://www.g2.com/products/splashtop-remote-access/reviews) ## Automox Features **Generative AI - Autonomous Endpoint Management** - Behavioral Analysis - Adaptive - Predictive **System Control** - Device Control - Web Control - Application Control - Asset Management - System Isolation **Monitoring and Management - Autonomous Endpoint Management** - Patch Management - Oversees - Self-Healing - Centralized Dashboard **Vulnerability Prevention** - Endpoint Intelligence - Firewall - Malware Detection **Security Management** - Incident Reports - Security Validation - Compliance ## Top Automox Alternatives - [NinjaOne](https://www.g2.com/products/ninjaone/reviews) - 4.7/5.0 (4,536 reviews) - [Atera](https://www.g2.com/products/atera/reviews) - 4.6/5.0 (1,205 reviews) - [ManageEngine Endpoint Central](https://www.g2.com/products/manageengine-endpoint-central/reviews) - 4.5/5.0 (1,114 reviews)
