Automox helps with endpoint management

Rating: 8 out of 10

Incentivized

June 26, 2025

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We have a pretty sizeable number of mobile clients and trying to get those devices in house on a regular basis was problematic. Automox enabled us to be able to automate a lot of software patching and maintenance that reduced exposure windows and enabled employees to continue to work without the inconvenience of having to bring their devices to the office for patching and updating.

Pros

Update third-party applications
Update operating system
Allow for policy enforcement/application.

Cons

Apply updates without enduser acknowledgement for certain conditions

Likelihood to Recommend

The product is well positioned to assist IT teams with device maintenance in environments where mobility is predominant. It is especially helpful for disparate systems. It does have some overlap with Intune and that could compete for prioritization of policies and updates.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We need a centralized patching and OS patching tool that can also enable us to enhance our vulnerability remediation capabilities. We also wanted a tool that was lightweight and not too intrusive on the user experience. We are a scale-up tech company that requires real-time patching and OS patching, while also having the flexibility to deploy worklets and scripts to support users.

Pros

Patching
Data is displayed for compliance and health checking.
Giving functionality to users through worklets.

Cons

So far, we are delighted with how it performs.
MacOS documentation for Intune.

Likelihood to Recommend

Smaller organisations such as ourselves, who have outgrown their MSP but still need to retain control of their system and have visibility of the estate. The tool enables us to have real-time visibility and deploy or remediate as needed. We have also purchased Rapid7, which integrates natively into the product, making it a more powerful tool moving forward.

Automox for Patch Management

Rating: 8 out of 10

Incentivized

June 23, 2025

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We deployed Automox to manage approximately 100 endpoints across our organization. The IT team primarily uses it for patch management, asset inventory, and remote desktop support. It plays a crucial role in maintaining system security and visibility. Automox is used on a daily basis to support staff efficiently, streamline troubleshooting, ensure all systems remain up to date, and reduce downtime. Its centralized dashboard allows us to proactively manage updates, remotely access user machines, and track hardware/software assets in real-time.

Pros

Patch Management - The worklets are deployed easily once they are created.
Asset management - We can quickly see what devices are online and support them quickly.
Worklets - there are many predefined worklets you can apply to your systems easily

Cons

Remote Desktop support- Sometimes it takes a long time for a connection to a remote computer, but once connected it works great.

Likelihood to Recommend

As a 2-person IT Team, Automox really helps us manage endpoints that are spread across multiple states. Being able to schedule when the patches are deployed is very useful. We can deploy OS and 3-rd party patches during off hours to reduce endpoint downtime. It's not as easy to manage our air-gapped endpoints with Automox. These require a more hands-on approach.

The last patching solution youll need

Rating: 9 out of 10

June 18, 2025

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We integrate Automox with Rapid7 for helpful and quick vulnerability scanning and reporting. We use Automox as our main patching solution. It helps us stay up to date on security and updates and allows us to fully tailor it to our needs in a simple to understand format.

Pros

Fantastic user interface. Dashboard is great to use and easy to understand.
Allows you to set up as many policies as needed so the customization aspect is top notch.
Being able to add tags for device groups makes policy creation such a breeze.
Saves our team so much time we used to spend on vulnerability patching

Cons

The graphs and other widgets on the dashboard need to allow for customization. Without this, these are almost useless in certain environments based on your needs and priorities.
I think the user activity reporting could be simplified without having to rely on referencing user numbers, etc.
More options could be added for automatic email reporting for specific jobs

Likelihood to Recommend

We are a financial institution. We take security and patching very seriously. This used to demand tons of manual work and man hours to just tread water.

With Automox, it becomes more basic maintenance and small tweaks instead of hundreds of wasted hours. It’s been a life saver for us. Policies are easy to set up and understand. And the training opportunities are great

Automox Automation and streamlining patching

Rating: 10 out of 10

Incentivized

June 9, 2025

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Automox to stay on top of patching for Windows Update and the various applications that are used in our business. This helps address the critical issue of out-of-date software causing cyber security vulnerabilities on our network. Being a law firm, cyber security has become a critical IT issue and Automox helps to automate and streamline the process.

Pros

A good dashboard to let you quickly get an idea of how your organisation is handling its patching.
Software and patch searching on individual devices
Ability to force patching alongside scheduled patching
Easy to user interface

Cons

More details when errors occur.
Automox notification app sometimes gets stuck preparing to restart, users have to restart manually

Likelihood to Recommend

I think Automox is perfectly suite for small to medium businesses and I would recommend it to anyone looking to improve their cyber security standing. It is easy enough to use and understand for staff without a lot of technical knowledge, but has a depth that can be exploited by IT staff with more know how.

Automox Simplified Our Endpoint Management

Rating: 7 out of 10

Incentivized

May 5, 2025

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We at our agency use Automox mainly to automate the patching and updates for about 200 Windows servers, allowing us to automate compliance and security without a whole lot of manual work. Automox helps us solve business problems around providing security, availability to systems, and managing the IT workforce. The service is a vital part of our overall patch strategy and ongoing maintenance of infrastructure.

Pros

Manage our windows updates and compliance
Reduce time needed to manage updates
Quickly report on out of compliance devices

Cons

Default reports are too generic and do not allow for much customization for detailed audits or summaries
More granular control over update windows for various device groups would be more useful
Native patching for many commonly used third-party applications

Likelihood to Recommend

It is well-suited for centralized patch management within a remote or distributed environment because it is native to the cloud.

It is not suitable for legacy or overly customized systems that need unusual update processing.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Our company relies on Automox for application and operating system patching, which ensures that our machines remain compliant and secure. We also take advantage of its reporting and scripting features, enabling us to execute specific tasks on endpoints as necessary. Personally, my team utilizes the remote access feature, which is very helpful for troubleshooting and providing remote assistance.

Pros

Easy to navigate
Segmented roles and permissions
Insightful dashboard

Cons

Remote assistance/control feature connection issues
Vague pop ups for endusers that cause confusion
Little visibility into what apps are updating or when an endpoint will restart

Likelihood to Recommend

Automox has significant potential, and we truly appreciate its features and capabilities. However, we have encountered several performance issues, particularly with the remote access tool. We believe that with some improvements, it could replace other tools that we use.
