Pros/Cons
  • Pros

  • It is easy to interface with other services such as ticketing systems and the like. It is easy to get additional information about identified vulnerabilities.
  • It is very easy to use and integrate with the current continuous integration infrastructure. It is adding new features frequently to improve usability.
  • Cons

  • There's no history of comments or changes. Updates made to one version of a project are not easily available to other versions, or to other projects that use the same components.
  • Upgrading it is a major pain / undertaking. Each time we need to upgrade the system we have to do the equivalent of installing it from scratch.

  • Pros

  • Automate is feature rich and great for managing our clients desktops and servers. We love the ability to do patch management with this tool.
  • The remote program is really good. Very simple and quick when a caller has called in.
  • Cons

  • Definitely full featured, but a little too pricey to be used for stand alone in house Corporate use, really designed more for MSP's.
  • Again, I suspect due to the years of bringing the tools together, Automate seemed to somewhat stall/lag on added features for awhile.
