Finally a software deployment tool that just works
We had a very successful POC which showed how much time we would be saving using their platform. Automox can automatically deploy patches endpoints need for OS or third-party applications. I'm also very excited about the features they will be adding to their platform.
PROSI love how responsive the product is for being agent-based. Multi-platform support makes it easy to use one product for your patching and software deployment needs. Automatic scanning which uncovers which patches are needed for installed applications/OS. Their live dashboard makes it easy to determine the level of compliance. Their built-in live chat makes it easy to connect with Support to resolve issues.
CONSTheir current reporting makes for troubleshooting deployment issues difficult sometimes but their support is top-notch and I've been told this is being addressed as is on their roadmap.
Reason for choosing Automox
Automox proved to be the most solid all-around product. Patching user endpoints was definitely a pain point for our organization but Automox made the process much easier.
Reasons for switching to Automox
We needed the ability to deploy custom packages to remote endpoints.
Vendor Response
Thanks for the great review, Nathan! We're glad to hear you're having a great experience with Automox. Reporting updates are absolutely on the roadmap. Stay tuned for exciting reporting updates coming soon!

Simple and safe patching solution. Glad I went with Automox
Support team is awesome and fast to respond. Customer care team is good on checking in and making sure you have what you need. Fairly informative on new features and downtimes are next to nothing with Automox.
PROSI like that the time the time to implement Automox and how easy it is to use was the biggest pro to Automox. Within 4 hours I had our entire server environment ready to patch and get caught up after our last patching solution had been pulled for over 4 months.
CONSOnly hard part with Automox is writing worklets and understanding how it works and what permissions the agent has to the machine to make registry changes or deploying non standard software to the machine.
Reason for choosing Automox
Ease of use and time to implement.
Reasons for switching to Automox
MSP ditched us and we needed to find a new solution that we could maintain.

Automox - 2 years in
Overall we use it to track and push patches for Windows and 3rd party and we use it to push software. The software push capability is especially nice since we are able to push anything that can be done in Powershell to the client, even if they are remote.
PROSThe Automox console is very easy to use and navigate. If you are a Powershell junkie you will love the software push capability through PS. It does a great job of keeping track of clients outside my network.
CONSThere are many times when we have to reboot a machine just to get it to show as compatible again. It works well but sometimes we have to do the reboots on 30 machines to get them to all show up.

Save time and make your clients happy!
My experience has been nothing short of AWESOME!
PROSI love the amount of time we save keeping our systems updated and secure and confident that the latest security patches have been applied.
CONSCan't really think of any negatives. There are a few features missing that could help streamline patch nights but they are not critical pieces.
Reason for choosing Automox
Easier to configure and implement. Latest features have made (policy cloning etc.) have made maintaining a stable patch cadence much easier.
Reasons for switching to Automox
We wanted a cloud solution where we could still manage patching even when we had internal networking issues.
