Automox definitely has a better GUI and rolling out worklets is far easier to analyse and resolve should there be any problems. Itarian does have the better remote control function that's less clunky and more reliable than that of Automox. Itarian does offer a per device …
In my opinion, PDQ Deploy is better than yall and at a much better price point. We selected Automox last year because the network engineer at the time was [...] with powershell and liked what he saw. He promptly left after the contract was signed and before we integrated …
The cost was the biggest factor. SCSM was a great product but it offered way too many features we didn't need. Automox was affordable and offered just the right amount features to cover our needs without being too difficult to manage. We also didn't need the full suite from …
We have used Microsoft WSUS servers in the past; there is no comparison between it and Automox. Automox is so much easier to use and provides the ability to patch other operating systems and 3rd party apps.
Special thing about Automox is that it has customer deploy packages for many remote end points where as other tools listed does not have that privileges. Other tools are not user interface friendly where as Automox user interface is very easy and customizable as well. Unique …
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 …
Automox was at the top of the group - it was a light client, a SAAS offering and did not have some of the bells and whistles that the tools have but was not something that we would use. Also, the learning curve for the support staff was easy enough and we did not need SMEs that …

Automox is cloud based vs PATCH MANAGER Plus which requires on premise servers. We consistently had issues with PATCH MANAGER Plus working on remote computers even with appropriate firewall rules and configuration. PATCH MANAGER Plus had an awkward interface. Automox …
Baramundi is much more complicated to setup and use, and requires Windows devices to be managed via AD Domains, and will not work if devices are NOT in the domain, such as Azure AD joined devices
I've used a number of other patching products at previous employers. Automox, while it does not have all the bells and whistles of SCCM, Tanium, or BigFix such as software self service or automated deployment through network scanning, software catalogs, or warranty check …
Patching management at cost effective. I like the ease of onboarding, reporting, ease of use and integration with our vulnerability management apps. I like how proactive the support team is with regular updates. It's easy to roll out massive updates and choose when the system …
The ability to do 3rd party patching - multiple OS' along with the ability to create an organization platform with managed tiers/silos makes using Automox within a larger org that has specific division heads much easier to use. I can control my division tech while leveraging …
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
Excellent support for Windows-based systems. Rarely have any issues updating those systems.
When issues do arise, the Automox support team has been very responsive and informative of solutions (or where projects are on potential roll out dates).
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
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.
