Automox vs. Titania Nipper

Every organization would work better with Automox on board. It not only approaches patch management as a whole, but also ensures that our third-party applications are secure against all vulnerabilities. It ensures that we keep track of all software and hardware in our OS. As a health tech company, we cannot overemphasize the need for Cybersecurity compliance.

The tool Titania Nipper is used as a way to improve compliance and risk management, reduce time to market and also provide our customers the needed insight about the possible threats to their network and firewalls. The tool itself we use in conjunction with others, so I can't recommend using only Nipper if a more wide view is needed in terms of vulnerability assessment.

Incentivized

• Shows applications installed on a specific asset
• Able to push policies and updates remotely , creating policies is easy.
• Keep track of compliant devices and when is the last time they have connected to the servers
• All the great information provided within one single device

Incentivized

• Updated database of configuration issues
• Particularly good at Cisco equipment
• Quick overview of issues and conclusions

Incentivized

• There are some applications that updates to the wrong version causing Channel version issues, this then needs to be excluded from the policy and updated via a script.
• Certain software like NET. is not updated
• The worklet / remediation / evaluation system is not always effective, does not work all the time. Needs to be very detailed for it work.

Incentivized

• Reports
• Support most recent version of the firewalls
• Reduce false positives
• More intuitive dashboard
• Multiple language [support]
• Wizard for configuring the interfaces
• Support really PCI reports

This is a software that just works. Once configured its a set and forget kind of tool that keeps things up to date and alerts me if something is wrong. I was able to work through an expansion project to deploy an additional 500 devices in almost no time and create a robust self-patching environment.

It's great at what it does. We're able to veiw endpoints that are online in real time, and run scans on them to ensure they're still compliant. The software itself is very easy to use and set up on end points, with the main admin portal having a clean and very easy to understand set up

I did not need to reach out to support often but when I did the answers were relatively correct and they were answered quickly. The only thing I might "ding" their support on was their lack of understanding of OS's different from Windows and especially Linux. Other than that I was satisfied

Implementing Automox successfully starts with a clear strategy for organizing and grouping devices based on operating systems, environments, or business criticality. This ensures that patching and configuration policies can be applied with precision. A phased rollout approach is essential—beginning with a pilot group allows teams to test patching schedules, reboot behaviors, and custom Worklets before scaling across the organization. Leveraging Worklets from the start can significantly boost automation by enforcing security baselines and performing routine system tasks. Integration with existing SOC tools, such as SIEMs, enhances visibility and response time by correlating patch compliance with threat intelligence. Additionally, aligning patching schedules with operational downtimes minimizes disruptions, and consistent monitoring and reporting helps maintain compliance and prepare for audits. Overall, Automox offers a streamlined and effective solution, but its true value is unlocked through thoughtful planning, testing, and integration with existing IT and security workflows.

We felt that Automox provided us with the functionality our MSP offered, including OS and device patching, as well as remote control capabilities, but in a better and more manageable way. We also felt the usability of the tool gave us the ability to be effective in our way of working, as well as integrating with Rapid7 was a massive benefit for us.

Although Nipper from Titania helps in auditing accurately every device in the network and helps in prioritizing the fixies, it is really useful for the part of the firewall in a network and also for the quick making of reports which are also customizable. But from our experience, the Qualys solution for scanning the networks, although is more costly, it also has more features and options in regards to assessing a network and the elements connected to the network, though it is also somehow less powerful when it comes to creating quick reports. Qualys has a more interface and dashboard approach regarding the results of the scans.

Incentivized

• We wanted to like the remote support software, but the experience was poor compared to a solution like BeyondTrust.
• Development and deployment of worklets is fast for experienced coders.
• Policy execution and reporting is fast and reliable.
• The new analytics dashboard excels at reporting Mean Time to Remediation for executive reporting purposes.

Incentivized

• We seldom audit the same equipment twice, hence the fixed amount of annual hosts is not very flexible in terms of licensing for our use-case
