Pros

“Reporting could also be more flexible, with better customization and more detailed failure information. and the patching process can consume a significant amount of disk space on the C: drive, especially when multiple missing patches are downloaded and stored.”

Vignesh S.

Azure Infrastructure Engineer

“Scheduling and automating patch deployments saved us a ton of time compared to doing things manually, and the third-party application patching support was a big plus — not just OS updates but things like Adobe, Java, and browser patches all from one console.”

Romil T.

Information Security Analyst

“The product does a very good job of simplifying patch operations by allowing administrators to manage the Windows updates, Linux patching, macOS updates and third-party applications from a single console.”

Mirza B.

Asst IT Manager

Pros

“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

“Automated patching solution where you can setup set and forget polies on the Automox console to roll out first party (Windows, MacOS) patches, 3rd party patches.”

Ashok M.

IT Security Analyst

“The ability to create custom tools and the strong reporting features are very useful, supporting daily IT management and compliance during audits.”

Anthony C.

Solutions Architect

Cons

“There is insufficient in-product guidance or documentation on the configurable parameters for the USEMS agent, such as scan schedule, CPU throttling, private key management, remote office connectivity, and other tunable variables.”

Ye M.

DevOps

“However, the Security and Vulnerability Management area may need further improvement, as the failed update rate remains high even when users proactively check for updates through the Self Service Portal.”

Tu T.

Assistant Manager

“Rolling back failed patches isn't as straightforward as it should be, and the learning curve for setting up custom deployment policies took more time than expected.”

Romil T.

Information Security Analyst

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.”
