Overall Satisfaction with Automox

We use Automox as a patch management, software management, and remote control tool. It works fantastically for both. The remote control is very secure and works great in all OS versions. Patch management is very easy to setup and works well. One of my favorite parts of Automox is the worklets. It makes software management so easy and allows you to use the power of powershell to do a lot tasks without having to remote into the computer. The best part is the user is none the wiser.

Pros

  • Patch management
  • Software/Machine Management
  • Remote control

Cons

  • The only tricky thing is setting restart/reboot deferrals is a little tricky.
  • Improved IT team efficiency
  • Opens more possiblities for workstation management
  • Consolidates tools into one
Easier patch management and less end user interruption. We were also able to remove old software from the workstations using the worklets catalog and custom worklets. And keeping all internet browsers up to date all the time is huge.
It's just very easy to use. The only tricky part is the reboot/restart deferrals.
Reasonably priced for what you get. Easy to use. Worklets

Yes

Would you buy Automox again?

Yes

Automox is topnotch in the patch management realm, easy to use and setup. Their remote control tool is great and secure. I love how it uses a secure tunnel, that builds and tears down at the start and end of the session, with each session. So it's far more secure than other alternatives.

It's been a great tool for me. It has helped me become more efficient in my job and securing our network and machine footprint.

Evaluating Automox and Competitors

Yes - TeamViewer. TV is just not very secure, especially with their recent hack. For patch management we were using Intune and it just wasn't working, like at all.
  • Cloud Solutions
  • Scalability
  • Integration with Other Systems
  • Ease of Use
We are a nationwide company so having cloud solutions is imperative to keep our operation running smoothly.

Automox Implementation

For a technical mind implementation isn't difficult. It would have been nice though to have a setup process to ensure everything is setup properly and to get any questions answered.
Yes - 1) Setup everything
2) Test agent deployment and settings of Automox
3) Deploy to everyone
Change management was minimal
  • Setting the deferral settings for patch management.

No we did not. Premium support for us didn't make sense. Automox is running well now and don't foresee the need the premium support.
I've only had one support ticket, but the agent followed up and was great at suggesting solutions and troubleshooting steps.
