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.

Keeping servers updated while encountering documentation issues and time zone delays in support

In terms of improvement, I would recommend better documentation. During the time I used it, there were issues with up-to-date patching, and the documentation around those specific errors was quite confusing. Sometimes I had to uninstall, reinstall, or engage technical support, which took a lot of time. It would be helpful if the documentation could easily help us fix bugs on our own.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."

"Previously, we would run a report, scan it, and compare it. We were spending 15 to 30 minutes a month on each machine on this stuff because you would find stuff that wasn't up to date, then you had to fix it. This solution takes that time down to minutes. Automox saves us easily many hours a month."

"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."

"Its flexibility is most valuable."

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

"Out of all these features, if I had to pick one which I'm relying on the most, I would say the automatic patching, because it saves a lot of time and ensures all devices are updated."

"The biggest improvement to our organization involves the reduction in its man hours... We've probably saved hundreds of hours."

"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."

More Automox pros

"It is very easy to use, as well as extremely efficient and accurate."

"The solution is a good product and I have heard that the interface is more friendly than that of Windows."

"We can set a maintenance window and push the patch."

"I have found the interface and ease of use valuable features. Additionally, it is very easy to patch VMs and other systems, such a Linux. We are able to do patches even without the internet manually."

"The technical support from Ivanti is good."

"Both in terms of features and operations, this is a good solution."

"Ivanti Patch's most valuable features are the patch module and the package distribution."

"We use the solution for security patching of Windows devices."

Cons

"The stability has come a long way from what it was like when it started and now it's really good."

"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."

"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. \"

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

"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."

"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."

"They need to improve the automation features."

"It should have integrated workstation access. So, there should be a remote desktop feature."

More Automox cons

"In terms of improvement, I would recommend better documentation. During the time I used it, there were issues with up-to-date patching, and the documentation around those specific errors was quite confusing."

"The reports have to show the compliance level of the patching, which Ivanti does not provide."

"It's a difficult configuration because you need to install many servers in a location, and you have to install the primary server in the main location."

"The product's support and configuration need to improve. It needs to be more scalable."

"Ivanti Neurons Patch for Intune needs to improve stability. We had issues with patching."

"There are times when there is an update that causes some issues. These issues should be sorted out before the release."

"Customers sometimes ask about non-existent features, and we pass these requests on to Ivanti."

"Ivanti Patch could be improved with better integration with other cloud solutions."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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'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."

More Automox pricing and cost advice

"The solution is expensive compared to other products."

"For the one that works with SCCM, it is relatively inexpensive at $8 USD per node, yearly. The standalone product has two versions; the one that patches servers is about $45 USD annually and the version that patches workstations is about half that price at $22 USD."

"While the price is a bit high, it may be equitable with the features one gets with the product, such as that involving the interface."

"The solution is affordable."

"The license can get expensive if you have a lot of nodes."
