Enables management of multiple operating systems with a single license

The best feature is that it's a Microsoft product, so if anything goes wrong, we get quick support for anything required. Remote system functionality allows us to sit anywhere and take control of any device via remote management. We can enhance security for clients' laptops with built-in Microsoft Defender, which is available with the Microsoft Intune license. We use it for reporting purposes through endpoint analytics. When pushing scripting, there are two types available: remediation script and reservation script. Through endpoint analytics, you can push defender policies to clients. It helps with reporting, inventory updates, and monitoring tenant status health.

Senior Software Engineer at AT&T

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.

Works

Ensures enterprise-level security with seamless updates and integration

The key benefits of Samsung Knox include its secure and user-friendly nature straight out of the box, giving enterprise customers security assurance. A specific feature, Knox E-FOTA One, allows forced firmware updates over the air without end-user intervention, which can be scheduled to occur during off-hours. Additionally, the Knox Secure Folder sandboxes both personal and work data, ensuring corporate data does not mix with personal data. The integration capabilities allow for seamless integration with the customer's MDM product set, providing access to the Knox Suite ecosystem. These features allow compliance with industry regulations, crucial as enterprises move toward a cloud-based, zero-trust security model.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Microsoft Endpoint Manager's patch management has been the most helpful to us."

"The ability to switch between Affinity and non-Affinity enrollment is great."

"I believe that the solution is actually in Gartner's top quadrant at the moment for mobile device management."

"I would say right now that Microsoft Intune is one of the best solutions."

"Overall, my user experience with Microsoft Intune has been great."

"Microsoft Intune is a cost-saving solution, reducing IT department workload and allowing for faster device provisioning compared to traditional methods."

"It is more efficient to have one solution rather than having security parts spread across three, four, or five solutions."

"Once it is well integrated with the rest of the environment, it makes everything easy."

More Microsoft Intune pros

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

"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."

"The fact that it's just one product that can patch multiple operating systems is really great."

"Among the most valuable features are its ease of use and the Worklets. Both of them are time-savers. Worklets enable us to customize things for a given environment. It's something like when Apple lets other people create applications. Other peoples' Worklets can be used in our environment and in our customers' environments. That saves a lot of time, and it's really cool."

"Its flexibility is most valuable."

"We love the overall patch management abilities; it's the main driver of why we adopted Automox, and it has definitely stood up to the test of time."

"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."

"Having Automox allows us to bother people less, fix things faster, and generally be a better managed services provider providing better service."

More Automox pros

"The most valuable feature of Samsung Knox is the endpoint protection it offers. Users have the ability to perform a factory reset without the need for a hard reset, which is very beneficial."

"It's a very good product that any organization can use to help manage their devices."

"Samsung Knox is doing excellent work with its current offerings."

"One portal for all the features and the remote support capability in Samsung Knox is highly valued. The enterprise editions and the free Knox Suite licenses for one year are also beneficial."

"Samsung Knox functions as a UEM (User Endpoint Management); for IT professionals, certain features help save time, and we enable IT professionals and technical teams of organizations by training them, handling deployments, and assisting with troubleshooting when needed."

"Overall, I would rate the solution as a 10."

"Samsung Knox is essential because you can centrally manage all your devices, including Android devices, iPhones, and Windows devices, in one platform at an affordable price, improving your security with GPOs and different policies, which is crucial in these times when we need to secure all communications, software, and various components against hackers."

"It's a very good product that any organization can use to help manage their devices."

More Samsung Knox pros

Cons

"My experience with them was very bad. They don't know about their own product."

"Intune could add more Linux security features and more integration with on-prem devices. The application deployments can also be improved."

"Intune's server management could be better. If it could incorporate more features from System Center into Intune's Configuration Manager, it would be beneficial."

"There is room for improvement, particularly in terms of compatibility, extending beyond the well-known major brands."

"The feature that allows us to import the business application from the configuration manager to Intune is not very good at this time."

"It doesn't economize when you scale up. We have over 14,000 employees, and we have between 7,500 and 8,000 city-owned or personal devices being used to conduct city business."

"Issues such as Windows 32 app failures occur frequently, and detailed manual detection rules are often necessary."

"Microsoft Intune lacks the ability to provide seamless remote assistance or remote control."

More Microsoft Intune cons

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

"Asset management would be a great feature to add to Automox. We would run easier scripts or more out of the box scripts that would help us in audits. \"

"One area where Automox can be improved is that it does not support offline patching, which could be a limitation for air-gapped or highly restricted environments."

"When we bring on a new client, we need to go into that client and manually set up my account, my chief engineer's account, three technicians' accounts, and a billing person's account all over again, which is annoying."

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

"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."

"The biggest area they need to fix, without a doubt, is the ability to copy and sync profiles and worklets between all of the organizations you manage, and the ability to have top-level user access control across all of the companies that you manage."

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

More Automox cons

"Samsung Knox needs to expand customer features across all devices, not just Samsung devices."

"The main drawback is that they need to expand this product beyond Samsung devices to include every device."

"We faced multiple issues when pushing configuration profiles and policies through Samsung Knox. The students were cracking the entire system."

"The main drawback is that they need to expand this product beyond Samsung devices to include every device."

"Features like private DNS would be very useful if pushed through Knox Manage."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Its price is in the medium range. It is acceptable because you're paying for the features. I am not aware of any additional costs."

"The cost of the license and the features are justified for myself as a technical person."

"I would rate the price a four out of ten with ten being the most expensive."

"The licensing is on a yearly basis."

"While Microsoft charges for actual usage, it lacks discount options."

"We work with the subscription rather than a server license. I think it's economical this way because we don't have to have a server license for that, and I think that works in our favor."

"Microsoft offers some licensing where it's included at no extra cost when customers are already using the licenses. In such a case, it's a really good value. If you have to buy the licensing for it, it's probably on par with other solutions. It isn't substantially more or less expensive. The great thing is that it is included in some of Microsoft's licensed packages. So, some customers don't have to spend additional money for it. Typically, most providers that support Intune do charge a management fee of some sort or some fee. Certainly, we're no exception."

"We have the business premium licenses for the solution."

More Microsoft Intune pricing and cost advice

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

"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 product is a great value."

"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."

"The cost is very reasonable compared to the competition."

"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.""

"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."

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