[Calculator] Find more time and cost savings with Automox

The new way of working for modern organizations demands a new approach to IT operations. Freedom from old-school solutions and VPNs. Freedom from dedicated infrastructure and servers to manage. And freedom from manual work that eats up days and weeks of your team’s time.

At Automox, our mission is to make it easy – and fast – to keep every endpoint automatically patched, configured, and secured. That's why we want to share with you a new calculator that breaks down how much time and money you can save by working with Automox.

The total cost of your current IT operations may include hardware purchase, software investments, and maintenance, sure – but at the end of the day, your biggest expense in IT is almost always labor. 

Historically, it’s taken IT teams tons of time to patch and manage endpoints because of clunky legacy tools, processes, and manual grunt work. And still today, according to the 2023 State of IT Operations Report, the majority of organizations feel they aren’t managing their endpoints very efficiently, with 47% stating they still rely on too many manual processes.

Figure 1: IT can quickly get overwhelmed with manual tasks on each endpoint.

IT teams are bogged down managing their endpoints resulting in wasted time when you consider that big parts of the patching puzzle can be automated. Ditching legacy tools and switching to an automated and VPN-free platform like Automox for endpoint management dramatically reduces the time your team has to spend on tasks like patching, endpoint configuration, and vulnerability remediation.

Today’s IT teams have been handed a lot to manage: multi-cloud environments, a growing number of endpoints and varied operating systems, as well as an increasingly distributed workforce. At the same time, companies are constantly looking for ways to cut costs, increase efficiency, and simply do more with less.

The practicality is that without the ability to add significant efficiency to how endpoints are managed, your team is going to be spending lots and lots of time manually organizing, prioritizing, and deploying patches, remediating vulnerabilities, and triaging endpoints trying to stay ahead of threats and negative productivity impacts.

The cloud, combined with automation, is the answer for simplifying the complexity of endpoint management, which is why most organizations are continuing to move away from legacy and on-prem tools. Automox makes it easy to keep Windows, macOS, and Linux endpoints patched, configured, controlled, and secured – without servers to manage or VPNs. Automox automates the soul-crushing manual tasks that get in the way of your IT team’s more strategic work. With Automox, you can easily:

• Automate patching, configuration management, and software deployment to drastically cut down on labor hours

• Improve workflows between IT and security teams by automating vulnerability remediation

• Give your team full endpoint visibility and real-time reporting all from one place to reduce cycles previously spent organizing and contextualizing data

• Cut all your team’s cycles that had been spent on managing supporting infrastructure and single-purpose point products

• Save yourself weeks of onboarding and training time
