Best software for getting Windows patches
What do you like best about the product?
We have been using it for 2 years and every week it applies the patches to our 100 computers. If a patch cannot be applied we get a weekly email that informs us what failed and why. We then can research each failure and the patch applied or have the patch ignored. With WSUS this was not possible. WSUS, in my opinion, is not easy to use and not effective
What do you dislike about the product?
To be honest I do not dislike anything. It is a great product and very helpful
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are keeping all our computer patched and secure. The benefits is it is automatic and we do not have to worry that a computer went unpatched.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Give it a try. It is worth your time.
Rocks
What do you like best about the product?
Setup is a breeze, dashboard is clean and informative.
What do you dislike about the product?
Windows patches can be a pain. Needs more manual restarts than I care for.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Windows has done everything wrong this year with their patches. Automox makes my life easier.
More than Patch Management
What do you like best about the product?
The user interface is simple, clean and easy to sue even by first time user. No need to to spend too much time on training.Ability to deploy patches quickly and not only for Windows but also Mac/Linux and patch 3rd party software. It is very powerful and flexible tool to help administrators to provide patch management.
What do you dislike about the product?
Not really anything that I dislike ... Automox came long way where is today and it is still evolving solution that has more to offer in future with adding more features into product. Right now only dislike is the Slack messages about added and removed hosts into dashboard as they do not provide details. However, I believe this is very small thing and will be fixed in future releases.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It solving the major task of any sysadmin in company -- patching all hosts, on internal network or our remote users as well Automox allows us to react quickly to zero day vulnerabilities and be able to push the patches way quicker then before with old solutions.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Really try it out, ask right questions. Automox is listening to its customers and constantly improving the product and adding features into product.
Loving Automox - the best BYOD - Mac/PC patching platform available
What do you like best about the product?
User interface is easy. Install and management is a piece of cake. But the best, by far, is the ability to patch BYOD workstations in a manner that staff find agreeable.
What do you dislike about the product?
Really nothing. I would like improved ability to message end-users to let them know via Automox that we need them to restart their machine. Improved ability to label machines during install or set up individualized deployment links, but these are relatively minor quibbles.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Patching BYOD workstations and Macs. Automox is the ONLY solution I have found that provides a non-intrusive and secure method of patching BYOD workstations as well as handling Macs and PCs and third-party software.
The challenge of patching BYOD is that people are (reasonably) reluctant to allow a company to install RMM software on their personal workstation. With Automox, I can communicate to staff exactly what we see on their workstation when we install Automox and assure them we do NOT have remote control capability or other privacy intrusion, but yet I can still push out patches and see patch status. This is INVALUABLE!
