Automox Review

We use Automox for automated Linux server patching within my organization. Critical systems are patched within maintenance windows and set up as zero-touch, so it handles everything once scheduled. Automox automates patches which helps in reducing vulnerabilities. It provides real-time visibility and requires minimal manual input if at all, keeping systems secure and compliant. We use it to patch Linux servers, focusing on critical systems within scheduled windows. It’s hands-off once configured, allowing us to focus on other tasks.

Typically, Automox is utilized to upgrade packages and prevent updates; however in our case, Automox didn't turn off any built-in package updating via systems like apt, so we've had to deactivate that manually; however, after that configuration and the implementation of proper groups and policies, the tool is essentially hands off. As for changes experienced, we had less time managing patches and more time for other tasks.
