Pros

“It does allow you to automate and schedule scripts and app deployment as well.”

David N.

Senior System Administrator

“If you're looking for just a patching solution for your Windows and macOS devices then Automox is a very good solution.”

David N.

Senior System Administrator

“Worklets make it incredibly easy to automate complex configurations and remediations across platforms, while Patch Schedules allow precise control over when and how updates are applied—critical for minimizing business disruption.”

Zac T.

IT Systems Administrator

Pros

“Allows for timely updates to OS across all our employees devices, and helped us keep track of and have the ability to lock down a machine if lost or stolen.”

Rich Y.

CTO

“Very flexible blueprints for our Mac network - allows me to customise a range of use cases from a large pre-built library, plus add my own custom items.”

Garth H.

Director

“One of the key strengths for us was the ability to assign permissions based on our RBAC roles, allowing appropriate access across the team while maintaining governance and security.”

Chaz V.

Infrastructure Engineer

Cons

“The device gets stuck in pending update state after we push multiple policies on a device to change the state of the device we either need to re-start the device or contact support to clear the state.”

Kirti B.

Software Engineer

“The thing that bothers me most about automox is how long it can take for device info to sync in the portal.”

Logan S.

Systems Engineer

“Sometimes the information on the dashboard page doesn't match with the information we extract through API scripts.”

Devyani W.

Patch Engineer

Cons

“Some warning messages are not describing the actual issue: e.g. if a user tries to install an app themselves on a MacBook, using a .DMG file (which is basically forbidden in our case), there's no error, but a warning regarding the non-encryption of the mounted disk.”

Alain F.

Sr. Software and Security Engineer

“The inability to assign smart groups to library items, the lack of blueprint routing, and the absence of options to clear specific tags or reset a device to a default blueprint when deleted are known limitations.”
