Unified patching and remote access have strengthened security and reduced support overhead

Automox has significant potential and we truly appreciate its features and capabilities. However, we have encountered several performance issues, particularly with the remote access tool. We believe that with some improvement, it could replace other tools that we currently use. Exclusion for updates should be improved in Automox. Integration with Tenable vulnerability management should be improved, as it should be included. I do not have any other improvements needed for Automox that I have not mentioned yet, perhaps only small or wish-list features.

The solution helps users to manage their entire IP range, but it's unreliable and very expensive to maintain

Only the administrator was using the product. He used it to read reports as part of our compliance programs. It wasn't heavily used by a lot of users. The tool comes in at a large scale, and we tried to scale it down. The scaling did not apply to us. It was neither difficult nor easy. I rate the scalability a five out of ten. We had some challenges while scaling it down. It could do 10,000 devices, and we wanted to use it for ten devices. The process was difficult and expensive. We did not need the product anymore.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"Automox has positively impacted our organization since we started using this tool as it has been a game-changer for us."

"Since using Automox, it has impacted my organization positively because it is absolutely great, has a fantastic price, and I have a better handle on missing patches in the environment."

"It's super easy to use and we haven't found anything easier."

"Automox provides complete visibility for any laptop, desktop or server in our environment, regardless of whether the person is on the train, in the cloud or on the move."

"Automox is one of the best automatic patching management solutions that I have ever used in my entire organization."

"Automox has positively impacted my organization by reducing operational costs, saving two to three hours of time, and reducing data security risks."

"Automox is a great tool to use on a daily basis as we use it to remotely connect to end-user machines, it is very cost-effective and simple to use, set up, and deploy, and with remote patching, scanning, and monitoring all in one panel, it has saved us money quickly by eliminating tools we no longer need in our organization."

"They've been adding some new features lately, which I'm not nearly as familiar with, but the ability to just deploy patches and exempt certain machines from certain patches is helpful. For instance, for our servers, we may not want to roll out zero-day patches. We are able to exempt those and make sure that they don't get those policies. We've got certain servers that have to run a particular version of Java, and being able to exempt those servers from receiving Java updates is pretty fantastic."

More Automox pros

"It has enhanced the security program by ensuring that all external-facing systems are scanned on a routine basis."

"Tripwire IP360 helps me to discover most of the vulnerabilities, and I like the way that it prioritizes these vulnerabilities, as it allows me to focus on the most important ones first and then follow up with the rest."

"This product detects vulnerabilities which exist in the environment, and provides enough information that allows for remediation, thereby securing the environment."

"Tripwire IP360 is a very stable solution."

"Tripwire is one of the most mature in terms of companies, suites, support, everything, much more than any other product."

"The company probably chose this solution because they thought that they would be getting the best bang for their buck."

"It's become the pinnacle point for anything that enters the network or anything that's passing through to production to first be affected by IP360, hardened, and up to standard. For our integrity management, one was deployed in the bank about two years ago and that's still going to expand the usage and the product itself. That will go hand in hand with training and expanding the product as for where it's deployed."

"We could manage our entire IP range with the solution."

Cons

"Automox can be improved because the notification app sometimes gets stuck preparing to restart, which means users have to restart manually, and that is time-consuming."

"Automox can be improved by offering another form of two-factor authentication instead of just waiting for the email, which would be easier."

"Sometimes if you want something done you're at the mercy of people having their machines turned on."

"While Automox has very good features, I think there's still room for improvement."

"The only thing that we've ever truly wanted is an onsite repository. Currently, all updates are provided directly from the internet. So, if you have 1,000 devices, all 1,000 devices go directly out to the internet. We would love the option of being able to put the updates on local storage so that we're not consuming as much bandwidth. That is literally the only thing that we've ever wanted."

"We would like to see additional detailed reporting for Service providers like us. We had to build our own reports via their APIs to meet our needs."

"However, we have encountered several performance issues, particularly with the remote access tool."

"However, I feel Automox's present quirks in its ability to manage multiple clients to constitute its weakest point."

More Automox cons

"If you are looking for better reporting capabilities and vulnerability tracking over time for remediation purposes, then this is not the best solution."

"The reporting functions can use improvement."

"I am not very impressed by the technical support."

"For IP360, unfortunately, scans for certain vulnerabilities often cause issues, as they are mainly false positive."

"We need to dedicate time and resources to keep it running."

"We would like to have better reporting capabilities and for them to be more granular."

"The reporting functions can use improvement. There is room for growth because reporting functions differ a lot depending on what you're going to output. It depends on whether it's for technical or senior management and how it's interpreted. There could be growth within the reporting functionality side."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing and licensing costs have been great for us... My advice to others who are evaluating or thinking of implementing Automox is to give it a shot. If a free trial is still available, definitely use it, because it makes life a lot easier."

"The product is a great value."

"There are no additional costs in addition to the extended licensing fees with Automox. You get your support and your per endpoint license with what you purchased."

"We're doing it annually directly through Automox. It is per endpoint. It is $2 and some change per endpoint, but I believe the cost is right around $28,000. Everything is covered in this fee."

"We are on the premium licensing, which is the one that has the API capability that we use."

"Automox just charges us a set amount per user, per month, for using the product. That is very important to us. Because it's a cloud-native solution, you're saving on the cost of hosting an on-premises solution on your servers."

"For all these software tools, it is usually a subscription model. There is a monthly charge that we need to pass along to our clients because we are doing all this for their benefit. It is only a couple of bucks a month per computer, and that is a low enough price point where our clients, without exception, have accepted it, and said, "This is great. We will pay that. It sounds like a worthwhile thing.""

"Its licensing for a year was nine grand. There was no additional fee."
