Automox vs. Google Endpoint Management

It is perfectly suited for organizations with a small IT staff and large amount of devices. It's also perfect for pushing software to machines that are not on the network or VPN. It's less effective for server patch management. I like to have a little more control of my server patching

Google Endpoint securely manages data, more so the sensitive one, by developing passwords that are strong and complex. Further, Google Endpoint remotely updates or installs software and other details. For purposes of synchronization, Google Endpoint is adequately available and helpful. Lastly, has a utility management scope, and the deployment process is simplistic.

• initial deployment of agents to all end points was a challenge, would have been great if there was a way for Automox to discover and install.
• Sometimes upgrading the Automox client which becomes old due to an end point not connecting for a long time becomes challenging as it becomes incompatible and has to be upgraded manually
• It would good to have a functionality where an end point device can be turned into a brick if desired in cases where the device is not returned back after an employee is terminated. This should also have the option of turning it back into an active device if we choose to

• Google Endpoint lacks proper online templates, for training.
• Google Endpoint is not a flexible or configurable application unless the developer does.
• Google Endpoint consumes some system space, making the device load much.

The system is really simple. We pushed the installer out through Group policy. Devices connected can get further defined by Tags or Groups.

After using a combination of WSUS and group policy to manage patching on a large number of devices, it was excellent to move to a single-pane experience where patch policies, restart schedules, reports, and device status can be seen easily and quickly. Its pre-patch report on policies is particularly handy so you can check if devices will take the appropriate action before it's run.

In my experience, they were responsive but the fixes were more like bandaids than a fix for the underlying problems which they admitted were on their end.

We stoppped using PDQ because it required our users to connect to the corporate VPN. It might take months for some remote users to receive a patch, and often we would have to schedule time with them one-on-one to ensure that it got done. With Automox, we don't have to do any of that - it just happens silently in the background.

Google Endpoint has a remote control, which simplifies tasks, and it's not a must for a person to install the software on the required device. Also, Google Endpoint has a free version, and the monthly subscription amount is small. The training and installation process are all fair, effective, and effortless
