We use Automox to patch all of our workstations and servers across the enterprise. Automox helps us to reliably deliver patches to all of our systems, reduce our risk to vulnerabilities and prevent system downtime. Its automation functions allow us to easily manage a very geographically distributed IT environment that would otherwise require a lot more manpower and time with other tools.
Pros
Automated Patching
3rd Party Patching
Scripting and Automation
Reporting and KPIs
Ease of management
Time to value
Cons
Patch scheduling
Detailed failure reporting/dashboards
3rd party vulnerability scanner support (other than R7)
Likelihood to Recommend
Automox is well suited for a large enterprise that has a well-defined patching policy and procedure that allows for automated patching, well defined schedules, and procedures to catch any issues that could occur during patching.
Automox because of its strong automation suite, would not work well in an Enterprise that requires manual intervention in patching or does not have a well-defined patching process.
