Automation has saved time and improves secure, centralized patching across all our devices
While Automox has very good features, I think there's still room for improvement. I want the custom reports to be even more detailed, specifically where I can add more details. It would be nice to have more filters in reports based on location and department more easily. Secondly, the notifications could be more customizable. Many times notifications come, but we don't have control over which notification is urgent and which is not. For example, if there's an alert of a critical update or pending approval, it can help me focus better. An alert of a security threat could be another type of notification that tells me something is important. Customized notifications would be much better. I would say the user interface could be improved as well. Some parts of the dashboard are a bit hard to understand. If they could be improved to be more intuitive, for example, if it could be easy to navigate between devices and reports, that would be great. I would say if Automox could also provide automation templates, that would help. I know there are templates, but I want more templates. Having ready-made worklets for common tasks can save a lot of time. Lastly, it should also support the interface for mobile screens.

Increased compliance and visibility boost cloud security posture
Upwind has great runtime detection and response capabilities for our cloud workloads. It provides great context for vulnerability management, allowing us to see what our most important vulnerabilities are. Upwind gives us insight into API security threats and helps us identify misconfigurations in our cloud environments to align with security frameworks like CIS or NIST. With Upwind, we have greatly increased our cloud security posture. Our compliance rates have improved significantly, and they have helped us automate vulnerability management and gain insights into API endpoint security.
