How Automox helps make time consuming IT tasks easy on our support desk team.
What do you like best about the product?
I love the ability for us to push out specific software to groups on computers quickly and without interruption. For example; say a group of users needs have a new version of a specific software updated. Instead of our helpdesk going around to each user and installing it on their computer, we can run a worklet and silently install this remotely. Worklets also allow us to see an "activity log" for our policies, this will return the results of powershell scripts that were run on specific devices, so we can comfirm if the script worked, or if there were errors and troubleshoot from there.
What do you dislike about the product?
I think it would be better if there was some more tutorials and help located near where you create worklets, because this would save time because when I'm not sure how to make a policy to do what I specified, I need to go online and do some research and this can take awhile.
Possibly automox could have some prompts like "I want to create a worklet that does... [Generic IT Task] and help the user costume a worklet based on already available powershell scripts.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It helps solve a few problems.
The first being our users laptops and desktops need to be constantly updated with windows updates, automox makes it easily to see all devices that are being patched, and create reports based on patches that are failing or have no been applied. This lets us to get ontop of vunerabilites and stay within our departments KPI for updates.
Secondly, we have alot of software that requires updates that users cannot do themselves because they do not have local admin rights, automox allows us to remotely install these on computers.
Third, we have alot of devices in our organization and keeping track of information such as installed software, configuration information, networking information can be hard. Automox gives us a live view on all of that information on the device so we can quickly see what we need to see.

Vulnerability Patching Automation with Automox
What do you like best about the product?
I like Automox because it is easy to use, its automation documentation is well-written and easy to understand, and I find the Worklet feature particularly fascinating.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is nothing to dislike about Automox, but I think the reporting could be more precise.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am working on Windows servers, and applying patches with Automox is quite flexible and easy to deploy. It is also more time-efficient compared to other tools.
Powerful and user-friendly patch management solution
What do you like best about the product?
Automox is incredibly easy to use, with a smooth implementation process that had us up and running quickly. The platform offers a wide range of features that cover all our patch management needs, from automating updates to monitoring system health across multiple platforms. We use Automox frequently to ensure our systems stay secure, and the intuitive interface makes it simple for both IT and non-IT staff to manage. The integration with our existing infrastructure was seamless, requiring minimal setup. Additionally, the customer support has been very responsive and helpful when we've needed assistance.
What do you dislike about the product?
The only downside is that Automox does not support older, obsolete operating systems. It would be great to have compatibility for legacy systems, as upgrading all OS versions isn't always possible right away. However, for modern environments, it performs flawlessly and has greatly improved our patch management processes.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Automox helps us automate and streamline the patch management process, significantly reducing the time and effort required to keep all systems up to date. This has enhanced our security posture by ensuring that vulnerabilities are patched quickly and efficiently across all our devices. The centralized dashboard allows us to monitor all systems in real-time, giving us full visibility and control. Overall, Automox has improved our operational efficiency and ensured that our infrastructure remains compliant with industry standards.
Intuitive patch management system
What do you like best about the product?
So far it's more comprenensive than other patch management platforms I've used and has a very intuitive interface.
What do you dislike about the product?
Reports could use some improvement, it doesn't seem to be customizable.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Managing OS and third party patching across multiple OS
Great user friendliness
What do you like best about the product?
Automox is very easy to use, even for people who aren't experienced with RMM tools, like I was when I started using it. It is also very easy to implement, especially if your organization has Active Directory.
What do you dislike about the product?
I think that it would be awesome if Automox had a better remote desktop experience, as well as desktop and mobile apps.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Automox is keeping all the computers in my organization up to date, which prevents us from having a cyber attack.

I Love Automox
What do you like best about the product?
I like how it combines a bunch of crucial things needed to run IT for a business all in one place. From pushing updates to getting general knowledge about a system, its a great product. I use this product every day for work and it has never failed me. It also makes it easy to push software for easily integrating each laptop with the software we need.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish there was a way to manage files on a system through Automox, that would just add to the convenience of having everything in one place.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The problem that Automox solves for me is cutting down on all the clutter and having a much easier solution to access everything to help end users.
Solved a huge problem and continues to deliver value.
What do you like best about the product?
Automox was easy to implement with great documentation and customer support, easy to automate and gave us completely autonomy around our regular tasks and patching.
Automox maintains both OS and App updates, if the app doesn't allow updates through its OS provider worklets can be built to allow full custom patching and installs of required software.
We initally used Automox everyday to get us to a state of good, since then after adding schedules and automation it has become a backend tool only really accessed for reporting and additional worklets to be added, the rest Automox handles perfectly.
As per the above i've had very little issues getting Automox integrated but the few questions i did have at the start where perfectly sorted really fast by the support team, our account manager was also great, extended our trial, helped us licence in a way that really suited the progression of our business.

What do you dislike about the product?
There is only really one thing which isn't a dislike more of an improvement.
The reporting can lack a little but has been improving month on month we have been working with the product.
We have found the data extractions get around all of the reporting issues but there is definetly some more niche reporting around patching that would be really nice to have.

Biggest bang for your buck
What do you like best about the product?
1. Great job on giving MSP's ability to easily switch between tenants. Very seamless
2. Awesome, amazingly resompsive knowledgable support. Very willing to jump on a call to demonstrate if you're ever confused.
3. Very straightforward to deploy -- works with GPO (when GPO behaves) and PDQ Deploy.
4. Many worklets supporting many 3rd party use-cases

What do you dislike about the product?
After writing this, I realize these are more feature requests, which I will put them in. But these are things I dislike while using the product:
- A majority of the things I'd like to do requires an API call. But many (you would think simple) reports are locked behind custom API calls - example of my simplest request: what CPU/RAM/HDD size for all my devices? However, I will say I notice every quarter or so, Automox dev team has been working on getting stuff accomplished easier though various other teams.
- Unable to obfuscate customer names as I switch. Consider while on a zoom with a customer, it shows every entity I work for. I'd rather have a toggle to obfuscate company names like Te***sh.

Automox is a top choice for automatic patching and device compliance!
What do you like best about the product?
The installation and configuration of Automox agent and console are simple and straightforward. Automox provides the user with the flexibility and granularity to configure the patch policies and groups, and to adjust them as needed. The user can also use the Automox console to view and manage the patch policies and groups, and to perform manual or on-demand patch actions, such as scan, install, reboot, or rollback.
What do you dislike about the product?
The Automox tool is very robust but comes at a higher than average cost. The company does offer a pay-as-you-go offering but the discounts come with anual subscription.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Automating the deployment of patches and updates across our organizations endpoints.
