NinjaOne
Why your peers choose us over Automox
While Automox patch management is a robust solution that updates multiple operating systems and third-party business applications, it is not without its limitations. Arguably, the main reason users choose NinjaOne over Automox for their patch management is its reliability and simplicity.
NinjaOne patch management is consistently rated #1 for its ease-of-use and proven track record for maintaining its speed even as you scale. This means that you never have to worry about NinjaOne slowing down when patching multiple endpoints. In fact, 90% of NinjaOne customers report saving time in their patching processes.

“Before NinjaOne, we had many tools ranging from PDQ for software deployment to Automox for third-party patching to WSUS for Microsoft updates. Having that many tools stacked atop each other left gaps in our security. In switching to NinjaOne, we eliminated the need for those other tools and enhanced our overall security posture thanks to NinjaOne’s single pane environment.”
