Overall Satisfaction with Automox
Lights out patching of our entire enterprise environment with minimal interaction. Before Automox, we were several months at best, and over a year at worst behind in patching our user and server environments. We simply did not have the staff to police Microsoft WSUS, and keep track of what was and was not getting done. Now we have policies in place to keep up and patch the environment within a week of the patch availability. If there is something urgent that needs to be distributed, we can do that too, and have it all complete within minutes. Automox has been a joy to use, and support is top notch!
- Patch with minimal interraction
- Distribute software to as many machines as required within minutes
- Allow patches to be tested in a limited environment before wide scale deployment
- Dashboard to get a quick view of how well it is working
- I wish Automox would support Chained patching where I could use a script to disable services on a production environment, patch the database, then when done, patch the remaining servers.
- Quick deployment
- Instant Reporting
- Diverse application list of apps they can update (more added every day it seems)
- Definitely Positive, we would have had to hire an additional resource to perform these functions if we wanted the speed of the product.
I would never go back.
