PRODUCT SUMMARY

Automox is a cloud-native endpoint management solution that offers automated patch management and configuration of endpoints across multiple OS. Automox provides managed service providers (MSPs) and IT teams visibility of all endpoints. It allows organizations to automate software patch deployment, create custom scripts for Windows, MacOS, and Linux endpoints, and support third-party software.

Use Cases

  • Patch management:
    Automox automates software updates and the deployment of critical patches for endpoint device systems. Patch automation and custom configurations are available for Windows, MacOS, and Linux, as well as third-party software, including Google, Amazon, Adobe, and Java.
  • Remote monitoring:
    The built-in Automox Remote Control offers complete visibility of all endpoints. IT administrators can locate non-compliant devices and remotely access, patch, and troubleshoot any issues.
  • Automated vulnerability remediation:
    Automox can integrate with scanning solutions to detect endpoint vulnerabilities.

Shortcomings

  • Complexity:
    Some users might find the platform’s advanced features a bit overwhelming, particularly if they are looking for a simple patch management solution.
  • Device recognition:
    Some users have encountered devices incorrectly showing an offline status. This issue requires the device to be manually rebooted to resolve.
  • Reporting:
    Some users have expressed that Automox’s reporting capabilities do not meet their needs, as reports have limited information. Furthermore, the lack of multi-tenancy requires users to view reports from each tenant individually.

NinjaOne vs. Automox FAQs

While Automox is a contender in IT automation, NinjaOne offers compelling features that make it a top solution among IT professionals. The platform is a leading IT solution that excels in scalability and is good for businesses of all sizes.

Automox focuses on its patching capabilities, which are useful for keeping devices secure with timely updates. However, NinjaOne goes beyond patch management and offers many other robust features, including automation, remote monitoring and management, backup solutions, and many more. The essential functionalities mentioned above make NinjaOne one of the leading choices of IT professionals and managed service providers for standardizing and simplifying IT operations across complex environments.

While Automox focuses mainly on automating and patch deployment and management, NinjaOne offers functionalities that are very useful for IT professionals and MSPs. These functionalities include service desk, remote monitoring and management, and patching, making it a more comprehensive solution.

No, Automox doesn’t offer a built-in data backup solution. Their focus is on the SaaS platform for automating patch management and deployment. This can be a key differentiator depending on your specific needs, especially if backup is a top priority for your organization. This is where NinjaOne shines with its built-in backup, boasting robust data protection and disaster recovery capabilities alongside its patching functionalities.
