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.

Enables time-saving automated scanning and brute force attacks
The most appreciated functionality of PortSwigger Burp Suite is its ability to perform brute force attacks automatically. Its automated scanning feature saves time. Additionally, using this tool provides significant security insights, making our testing process more efficient and comprehensive, leading to considerable time savings, which in turn translates to financial benefits.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Automox is the only one that we've found that we can just set and then forget; it simply works and is the best."
"Automox's real-time visibility and control through its intuitive dashboard is important for our response to emerging threats because it tells us which applications need to be updated on a real-time basis."
"Automox's real-time visibility and control through its intuitive dashboard is important for our response to emerging threats because it tells us which applications need to be updated on a real-time basis."
"Coming from prior solutions that were a lot more effort, Automox's patch management abilities are transformational."
"Automox is without a doubt the easiest patching tool I have ever used."
"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."
"Automox has positively impacted my organization with significant time-saving, improved our security posture by automatically patching vulnerabilities, and is easy to manage and deploy while offering Automox University as a great resource for learning the platform."
"Literally, it's our go-to product for patching and we don't use anything else."
"We are in the early stage of using the solution making it difficult to fully determine the best features. However, we have noticed the CMDB and device discovery features look valuable at this time."
"Parallel scans can be done with PortSwigger Burp Suite Enterprise Edition."
"The most valuable features of PortSwigger Burp Suite Enterprise Edition are the vast amount of options and ease of use, and they frequently improve the solution every six months to a year."
"The most appreciated functionality of PortSwigger Burp Suite is its ability to perform brute force attacks automatically."
"The most valuable part of it was probably the ability to intercept and modify calls."
"The product's initial setup phase was super easy."
"The most valuable features of PortSwigger Burp Suite Enterprise Edition are the vast amount of options and ease of use. They frequently improve the solution every six months to a year. Additionally, if we want any more features we can upload a custom script to meet our needs."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
 

Cons

"Automox can be improved as it can be pricey compared to other patch management solutions, especially when dealing with a lot of devices and endpoints."
"I would add that remote support for iOS could be better, and remote support of Linux is also lacking."
"However, we have encountered several performance issues, particularly with the remote access tool."
"Sometimes if you want something done you're at the mercy of people having their machines turned on."
"There should be better inventory capabilities. Right now, they only allow you to have insight into software out-of-the-box. It would be nice to also extend that into custom inventory that can be modified and managed by the practitioner."
"It should have integrated workstation access. So, there should be a remote desktop feature."
"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."
"It would be beneficial if Burp Suite provided predefined payloads for each attack category, such as SQL injection and cross-site scripting, to automate some tasks more effectively."
"There are features or functionality missing, but PortSwigger Burp Suite Enterprise Edition does try to update frequently to alleviate the shortcomings."
"The stability is a big issue. So many times the scans fail."
"The implementation of the solution is quite complicated and could be easier."
"Scalability could be better."
"It's not a stable product. Sometimes, it takes a lot of time to scan."
"PortSwigger Burp Suite Enterprise Edition should incorporate a static code analysis feature. One main issue we encounter is false positives. False positives can be challenging for developers."
"It would be beneficial if Burp Suite provided predefined payloads for each attack category, such as SQL injection and cross-site scripting, to automate some tasks more effectively."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"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."
"We are on the premium licensing, which is the one that has the API capability that we use."
"Its licensing for a year was nine grand. There was no additional fee."
"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."
"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."
"The product is a great value."
"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.""
"For Professional, it's about $400 per year."
"PortSwigger Burp Suite Enterprise Edition is neither a cheap nor an expensive product. PortSwigger Burp Suite Enterprise Edition is a good tool for companies."
"Although the solution can be a bit expensive for small companies, its pricing is fairly reasonable for its capabilities."
"The tool's pricing is reasonable and costs around 400 dollars per year."
"PortSwigger Burp Suite Enterprise Edition is expensive compared to other solutions."
