Automox Erfahrungen

Finally a software deployment tool that just works

Kommentare: 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.

Vorteile:

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.

Nachteile:

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.

Come for the updates stay for the worklets!

Kommentare: Everything has been great. Product is easy to use and easy to learn the more complex features.

Vorteile:

Ease of entry and continual use. Automox does what its suppose to when its suppose to.

Nachteile:

Progress bar on updates would be very benefitial

Did not work correctly.

Kommentare: Could not get this to work effectively even on just two windows servers, contacted support and got an initial response but nothing more. Looks nice and would be a good solution if it worked, it just seems unfinished and flaky. I suspect you need to enable a firewall rule for 3rd party updates to work ( suspect the same for Linux) .

Vorteile:

Looks nice, works fine with Linux ( as long as firewall is set up) fairly simple setup.

Nachteile:

Did not pick up that our 2008 test machine had not patched in 2 years. Did not show all the "Supported" 3rd party software. No Logs. Did not have any info on updates not applying. Policies did not seem to apply correctly. Still requires WSUS( or risk using online windows updates which kill bandwidth) No Linux Onsite Cache

Easily update multiple OS types together

Kommentare: This platform does give you easy updates on multiple platforms with options to run custom scripts etc. sometimes there are issues but not something that won't happen on other platforms

Vorteile:

It can update Linux, Windows & mac all together and has a lot of useful and easy to use capabilities

Nachteile:

Sometimes updates don't work that will on all machines and sometimes there are issues when scanning for updates.

pretty good with a few issues

Kommentare: overall good software with a few issues but these are fixed by a simple reinstall

Vorteile:

Ease of use, patch accuracy, set up easy

Nachteile:

Device do not always connect correctly/randomly disconnect

Excellent patching software

Kommentare: It does the job, excellent software for patching updates, restarting machines remotely etc

Vorteile:

patching function, remote reboot option.

Nachteile:

sometimes it takes too long to register a device

Automox is good

Kommentare: It's good, been using it for some time now. No complaints. Easy to use

Vorteile:

The ease of use, and clean HUD. It's easy to deploy endpoints and push out policy updates.

Nachteile:

The end points sometimes lose connection to the main control

Why to use Atomox

Kommentare: It has been great to push updates and organizing our machines

Vorteile:

How super convienant it is to have all machines in one place to easily monitor

Nachteile:

There is nothing to dislike that I have thought of

Automated Patching with Ease

Kommentare: Automox is really easy to use and has a great GUI. Makes automating patching easy

Vorteile:

Mac OS, Windows and Linux patching all in one tool.

Nachteile:

No mobile management as of yet or maintenance windows but I think this is on the roadmap.

Automox Review

Vorteile:

Keeping all your computers up to date automatically

Nachteile:

Sometimes it causes black screens on servers and fails to reboot them

Amazing tool

Kommentare: I couldn't see us ever not using it. we have offices situated around the world and now with home users it gives us a central control platfrom to update, deploy and amend devices regardless of their locations.

Vorteile:

Being able to patch any machine and pretty much any app from anywhere, what isn't there to like as an IT admin. We previously used SCCM and that always depended on VPN or being on a network or when the schedule was, which meant our machines were always out of date. With Automox we don't have that issue. Also we can deploy apps and config to devices more efficiently than even SCCM or Autopilot.

Nachteile:

The remote access component could be a great integration, but we haven't found it reliable.

It just works and the support is second to none!

Kommentare: We were looking for an easy to use patching solution that worked along side of CrowdStrike for our patch management and vulnerability management for our server infrastructure. It has allowed us to get into monthly compliance with all patching.

Vorteile:

Automox was easy to setup and deploy. The minor issues I had were resolved by support within minutes. Some of the best support in the industry at the time of this writing.

Nachteile:

The only con I would give is that the windows updates are specifically tied to the built in windows update system. Meaning it's relying on the OS to do the patch scanning for the most part. This isn't the case with 3rd party software, but it is with Microsoft software.

Excellent patch management tool, that needs better dashboards and integrations.

Kommentare: 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.

Vorteile:

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.

Nachteile:

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 next generation of patch management

Vorteile:

It offers patching from the cloud. Our endpoints do not need to be connected to our corporate network for us to be able to scan and patch them.

Nachteile:

AutoMox is a new company and they are still innovating. There are some features we were used to from other patch management software that they have yet to implement.

Out of sight, out of mind

Kommentare: We went from having servers and workstations that may or may not be current with updates, to not having to worry about it any longer.

Vorteile:

Once Automox is set up, it is very easy to manage. All systems are kept current with little to no required actions by our IT staff. Adding new systems is as easy as installing a small client.

Nachteile:

Automox is very powerful, so there are some features that seem complicated to set up. I feel that once those features were set up, the comfortability level would go up making them seem less daunting.

Automax is very helpful with patching

Kommentare: I'm very happy with Automax and have recommended this product to several of my peers.

Vorteile:

I like the ease of installation on each computer and that I can set it up to run scans and patches daily.

Nachteile:

I don't have any Cons thus far. They continue to update the website and product.

Automox is automatic

Vorteile:

The deployment and ease of use. The reporting features are excellent

Nachteile:

Nothing, it is so easy to use and deploy. It has taken a lot of leg work out of the mix.

Possibilities are endless - Not just an update platform

Kommentare: It's been a delight working with the software and the Automox team themselves. They're a great bunch that truly understands the needs of their customers. Solid A+

Vorteile:

Windows Updates were our only priority when finding a solution, but once I realized the potential of what they had on their roadmap... I was hooked. Windows Updates/Software Patch Management/Custom policies/Reporting/Live dashboard.... It is a hefty tool that I plan to take advantage of as long as possible. They're always improving and adding features, and they take customer feedback very seriously. I've seen features fixed/updated or even features I've suggested on their roadmap within a week of discussing.

Nachteile:

Originally, dashboard performance was hit/miss. It has improved a lot since then, and they're still working on further improving performance.

Simple software that continues to get better

Kommentare: The software is simple and rollout is seamless, the console ensures we know whats going on for updates on our inhouse and cloud servers, this relieves a lot of manual work which we used to do on the boxs to keep them upto speed with windows updates.

Vorteile:

Constant upgrades, good service and clear communication.

Nachteile:

Lack of formal inventory planning, they are getting there but I dont think its a priority yet, however at the print point automox is a great value.

Awesome product

Kommentare: Automox is the first patch management software I've used that I can trust to get the job done without babysitting. That said I did take 4 months of babysitting to prove to myself that I can finally relax, a little, and not worry about the job getting done.

Vorteile:

Fast, Reliable, easy to configure and very easy to use.

Nachteile:

The only issue I've seen so far, not really a problem just an annoyance, is when you sort by "Group Membership" it sorts the pages separately instead of truly sorting by the column. Like I said, just annoying.

Great patching solution

Kommentare: Automox has been great in terms of support, billing, new features, etc.

Vorteile:

It is web-based and easy to use. Login, review or kick-off a patching cycle and that's that!

Nachteile:

Hmmm, that is a tough one. I think all patching software has problems getting all of the patching done so there still is some manual intervention, but a small percentage.

Automox - SaaS Patch Management for IT teams

Kommentare: Due the fact that we have globally multiple locations and are workforce is also remote, Automox solve many issues which we had before to keep our computers up to date and patch against the latest security threats. We had tried few products and none of them was so simple to use, deploy and get to business ion very short period of time for our IT team.

Vorteile:

Simplicity of deployment, not requirement of long training to get use to it, cross support for Windows/Max and Linux. Ability to patch system that are remote and not physically in the office.

Nachteile:

In beginning there were not many features and no SSO support -- this has been quickly added into the product in very short period of time.

Automox is the perfect tool for our patching & inventory needs!

Kommentare: Security for our PCs, Macs, and Windows-based servers. Our accounting department likes that I can pull up specific information about users & computers.

Vorteile:

Ease of use & outstanding graphics for representing the data - those are the 2 things that stand out the most. This software gives us peace of mind knowing that our remote company-owned devices are being patched. The developers are doing a great job of keeping up with the latest security threats. I love having current threat info easily accessible within the Automox dashboard. Their tech support is excellent.

Nachteile:

I would like to see more attention given to the 3rd party software deployment policy so the steps involved in creating the policy make the deployment even easier. More compatibility and guidance.

Perfect patching solution for our mixed environment

Kommentare: Without Automox I would have no way of knowing for sure that our devices are patched. We do not have a Mac management tool or local Active Directory. Automox has been the perfect solution for our needs.

Vorteile:

The ease of use. I love the ability to see everything at a glance in the portal, and it is so easy to apply policies and settings.

Nachteile:

I would prefer to have the ability to search on additional properties of the connected devices. Currently the search is limited to built-in filters.

Best in market OS agnostic cloud native patch/vulnerability remediation solution.

Kommentare: Fully solved our need for patching/vulnerability management. Full stop.

Vorteile:

Automox's laser focus on patching/vulnerability remediation makes beats multifunction competitors who try to do too much and fail in multiple areas. If you're looking for patching stop and try Automox now.

Nachteile:

Reporting has made huge improvements in the last year but still has room for improvement. They're also adding 3rd party software but currently don't have wide coverage.
