Riepilogo del prodotto
Automox è una soluzione nativa nel cloud per l’endpoint management che offre il patch management e la configurazione automatizzati degli endpoint su più sistemi operativi. Automox permette ai fornitori di servizi gestiti (MSP) e ai team IT di avere visibilità su tutti gli endpoint. Consente alle organizzazioni di automatizzare la distribuzione delle patch software, di creare script personalizzati per gli endpoint Windows, MacOS e Linux e di supportare software di terze parti.
Casi d’uso
- Patch management:
Automox automatizza gli aggiornamenti software e la distribuzione di patch importanti per i sistemi di dispositivi endpoint. L’automazione delle patch e le configurazioni personalizzate sono disponibili per Windows, MacOS e Linux, nonché per software di terze parti, tra cui Google, Amazon, Adobe e Java. - Monitoraggio remoto:
Il controllo remoto integrato di Automox offre una visibilità completa di tutti gli endpoint. Gli amministratori IT possono individuare i dispositivi non conformi e accedere da remoto, applicare le patch e risolvere eventuali problemi. - Bonifica automatica delle vulnerabilità:
Automox può integrarsi con le soluzioni di scansione per rilevare le vulnerabilità degli endpoint.
Punti deboli
- Complessità:
Alcuni utenti potrebbero trovare le funzionalità avanzate della piattaforma leggermente eccessive, soprattutto se sono alla ricerca di una semplice soluzione di patch management. - Riconoscimento dei dispositivi:
Alcuni utenti hanno riscontrato un errore nella visualizzazione dello stato offline dei dispositivi. Per risolvere questo problema è necessario riavviare manualmente il dispositivo. - Reportistica:
Alcuni utenti hanno dichiarato che le funzionalità di reportistica di Automox non soddisfano le loro esigenze, poiché i report contengono informazioni limitate. Inoltre, la mancanza di multi-tenancy impone agli utenti di visualizzare i report di ogni singolo tenant.
Cisco Meraki MDM
Product Summary
Cisco Meraki is a cloud-managed networking platform within Cisco that provides visibility and control across networking, security, and endpoint environments. Its mobile device management (MDM) feature, offered through Meraki Systems Manager, enables organizations to manage and secure mobile devices from a single dashboard.
Systems Manager integrates with the broader Cisco security ecosystem as well as adjusts and enforces network access policies based on device compliance.
It should be noted that Cisco announced the end-of-sale (EOS) for Meraki Systems Manager on December 2, 2025. New purchases will be available until June 3, 2026, and support will continue through June 3, 2029. With that said, organizations evaluating long-term MDM strategies should consider alternative solutions for future deployments.
Use Cases
- Security:
Meraki Systems Manager enables administrators to enforce security policies to protect device data, restrict device features, and control passcode requirements. - Content management:
The platform’s on-device content management feature lets technicians deploy and manage apps, images, documents, and other files on Android, Apple, and Windows devices. - Geolocation:
Cisco Meraki’s geolocation capabilities allow users to locate managed devices and enforce security policies such as lost-mode or location-based restrictions.
Shortcomings
- Product lifecycle status:
With Systems Manager now in EOS, organizations may need to transition to alternative platforms before support ends. - Limited customization:
Meraki’s UI and branding customization options are relatively limited compared to those of other standalone MDM solutions. - Log information:
The customer portal lacks some necessary log information, making it challenging for technicians to swiftly analyze and troubleshoot issues.
