Automating your patch management means that all OS and third party applications (e.g. Adobe, Chrome, and Slack) will be automatically updated and protected against known vulnerabilities. The process involves automating how devices are scanned, inventoried, and updated. The system should identify all applications and missing patches to then download the latest patch updates released by the application vendors. ## What is Automox used for?

Pros It automates updates for Windows, Mac, and Linux very well. It saves us a lot of manual work every week. Cons The search and reporting pages are sometimes slow to load. It can be hard to find specific data quickly. Review source Incentivized review: software users are invited to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive for their time and effort.

" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 4.0 4.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 9/10 November 27, 2025 Very happy with the deployment, the functionality and cost. The results have been fantastic and with the level of detail we have been able to apply we are in the best place we have been in a very long time. Pros Simplicity, the scope it gives me to manage our estates patch and OS is simple and effective. Easy to setup and quickly deployed to the business. Compared to other products was great value for money and allowed us to configure to our needs. Cons The lack of integration with Jira and teams is disappointing for us as we use these predominantly for our service management, Switched from [Datto RMM](https://www.capterra.com/p/213158/Datto-RMM/) Cost and lack of flexibility in the tool Review source Non-incentivized review: any software user can leave a review for any product listed on our site.

I will recommend to all of my friends and companies. Pros Powerful updates management tool. Easy to use and deploy software and applications. Easy for device management. Cons I struggled sometime like while deploying a file to users computer. I was trying to deploy a file to users computer which i struggled a lot Switched from [Microsoft Intune](https://www.capterra.com/p/230703/Microsoft-Endpoint-Manager-MEM/) Much easier for patch management and administration Review source Incentivized review: software users are invited to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive for their time and effort.

Solutions Architect Hospitality ### "Solutions Architect" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 July 11, 2025 I did a proof-of-concept product evaluation of Automox in November of 2023. We we're looking to replace a competitors product called "Patch My PC". Hands down it was a superior Patch Management product replacement. Pros Automox allows you to patch various operating systems using one application, making updates easier across different environments. It greatly cuts down the time needed for patch management, reducing the time spent on each machine from 15-30 minutes to just a few minutes, which saves many hours each month. The ability to create custom tools and the strong reporting features are very useful, supporting daily IT management and compliance during audits. Automox has significantly lowered the number of man-hours required for patching, potentially saving hundreds of hours. Managing updates and exclusions of patches on specific machines, like servers that need a certain version of Java, is straightforward, improving operational efficiency. Cons Seriously nothing comes to mind. It's just works like its marketed as such. I would recommend this product to anyone looking for an effective Patch Management tool. Switched from [Patch My PC](https://www.capterra.com/p/241733/Patch-My-PC/) Ineffective product. It didn't perform as promised.

Sr IT Systems Engineer Medical Devices ### "Efficient Cloud-Native Patch Management for Modern IT Teams" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 July 8, 2025 Our IT team at Nevro used Automox to manage endpoints both on-premises and remote, across different departments and geographic regions. It helped streamline patching compliance and gave us much-needed visibility into device health. The platform’s flexibility and automation capabilities were especially helpful during remote work when devices were off the corporate network. Support was responsive and product updates were frequent and useful. Pros Automox made patch management and endpoint configuration across a hybrid environment much more efficient. The cloud-native platform was easy to deploy and significantly reduced manual overhead. We were able to automate Windows patching, enforce security baselines, and even push scripts to remote laptops without relying on VPN. The UI was clean, intuitive, and responsive. The automation and policy scheduling options were extremely useful in an enterprise environment. Cons The scripting console could be more robust when managing large fleets—some logging and error output formatting could be improved for easier debugging. Also, it would be great to see more built-in integrations with platforms like Intune or CrowdStrike for richer context.

I am a apprentice learning this as I go but having even the remote option in case someone needs help working from home is so helpful. Pros Doing the patching and having a clear dashboard on what I need to see, what devices I need to patch on what is critical and needs doing. Cons Nothing so far, but sometimes does come up with issues that not sure on but customer support is amazing to help with these issues.

It has made our lives easier as a whole, and has sped up the deployment time of MACs. Pros It makes the deployment of MACs easier. We use it as the system of management to deploy patching and the like to MACs Cons Sometimes the install script on MAC doesn't properly take so you have to restart the process. Overall it's not bad though, no system is perfect Review source Incentivized review: software users are invited to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive for their time and effort.

Head of IT and Security Information Technology and Services ### "Something all IT Admins need to remove one more headache from your role" 4.0 Overall Rating 4.0 4.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 4.0 4.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 June 6, 2025 Very good. Their support is responsive and their product is good value for money. I've used other patching and auditing systems in the past and they do one thing only. Automox does all of the essentials and more. Pros Easy to use, reliable and trustworthy. You setup your scheduled tasks and you can trust Automox to deliver results with minimal interference. Cons Lack of user-installed software scanning. (Software where the uninstall goes into the users registry, not HKLM) Switched from [Windows 11](https://www.capterra.com/p/251507/Windows-11/) We used WSUS prior (Can't select). Lack of ongoing support, unreliable and to be honest, WSUS was a poor product that did one thing... badly. We needed full scheduling as well as auditing, and of all applications, not just those made by one company. Alternatives considered [Atera](https://www.capterra.com/p/144309/Atera/) [NinjaOne](https://www.capterra.com/p/184229/NinjaOne/) Reasons for choosing Automox Too much bloat in the others. We wanted software to do the software auditing and patching. Not add in extras we would have to pay for and not want.

IT Systems Administrator Education Management ### "Powerful and Flexible Patching - What more can IT want?" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 May 28, 2025 Overall, my experience has been fantastic with Automox. The tool has saved me and my team so much time, and has closed many gaps when it comes to security and compliance. And their support is top notch - they have effectively and efficiently answered any question or issue (we haven't had many issues) when we need it. Pros Automox strikes a great balance between power and usability. The two standout features for me are Worklets and Patch Schedules. Worklets make it incredibly easy to automate complex configurations and remediations across platforms, while Patch Schedules allow precise control over when and how updates are applied—critical for minimizing business disruption. The UI is intuitive, and deployments are typically reliable and fast, even in remote environments. Cons This is going to be very nitpicky, as it's hard to say that I DISLIKE any component. My main concern is with some of the reporting metrics—specifically around CVE exposure and time-to-remediate (TTR). For example, a critical vulnerability might show as “80 days exposed” in the dashboard, but that figure reflects the public discovery date, not when it was actually detected on the device. This can make it harder to evaluate internal performance and compliance. I’d also like to see more clarity or filters in vulnerability timelines. Lastly, while not entirely Automox’s fault, getting Apple M-Series devices into a patch-ready state takes extra manual steps, which adds to deployment friction.

I was impressed with the cross platform support (Windows, Mac, Linux), and the flexibility in setting up policies. This will aid in our compliance, and save a lot of time. Cons I don't have any negative feedback. As always price is a consideration, but this product seems comparable with others on the market.
