Automox Happenings: February 2024

A monthly summary of how we’re simplifying IT

February. It's already here. With time moving at a rabbit’s pace, it's easy to lose sight of what’s happening in your tech stack. 

With that in mind, we’d like to introduce you to our inaugural monthly recap blog where we highlight the last month’s Automox happenings in a central location. From new features and just-added third-party support to new Automox WorkletTM capabilities, find out how to reap more benefits from Automox. You’ll also learn how to make your IT environment a little less complex.

New launches (and why they’re kind of a big deal)

Get immediate insight into endpoint health  

Automox’s new Device Health by Group widget enables you to gain immediate insight into the health of your endpoints by group without leaving the dashboard. With a customizable count of endpoints that have outstanding patches by group, this widget offers insight into the patch age (7, 30, 90, or 180+ days) so you can immediately validate the status of your most pressing endpoints.

A more seamless user experience for macOS

Got macOS? Get excited! When macOS users defer a patch and reboot notification, they’ll continue to receive timely alerts to remind them of the necessary patch based on your policy configuration. 

The result? A user experience without unexpected reboots and lost productivity while maintaining patching priority (so your users can apply as they have time). 

Leverage FixNow across thousands of endpoints

FixNow runs Automox Worklets immediately across your IT environment with just the click of a button. Check out our demo here! 

Administrators can choose from a catalog of 330+ automations that span Windows, macOS, and Linux systems. Quickly target any set of endpoints, remediate any issue, audit any configuration, or answer any question in real time.

Over 500 third-party titles and counting

Automox has one of the industry’s largest and fastest-growing catalogs of supported vendors. Automox customers can now manage, configure, and track all their third-party inventory – and natively patch thousands of endpoints from one place. 

Visit our third-party software page to find the most up-to-date coverage of third-party supported titles.

Worklets – A growing library and more search capabilities

We love Worklets so much, we wrote a haiku about them.

Automox Worklets shine,
Effortlessly patch, manage,
IT peace of mind.

Haiku aside, what is a Worklet? 

Worklets are an easy way to automate just about any task – at scale. They’re PowerShell or Bash scripts that can be deployed on endpoints through the Automox Agent. Need to install software? Uninstall software? Remotely wipe a computer? Worklets are smart plug-and-play automations here for you. 

Automox has a catalog of over 330 Worklets (each verified by our engineers). Need one that does something else? You can write your own, or utilize our easy-to-use Worklet Development Kit.  

Introducing enhanced Worklet catalog search functionality!

We're dedicated to continually enhancing your Worklet experience at Automox and are happy to announce new enhancements to our Worklet Catalog search functionality making the Worklet you need now easier to find. Search Worklets by description, keywords, and OS family. To learn more click here.

Until next month..

When it comes to taking action with Automox across thousands of endpoints, the possibilities are endless!
