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.
