Automox - the effortless, cloud-native alternative to WSUS

WSUS is useful as a limited patching tool, but it was never designed for modern endpoint management. Managing updates and patches across widely distributed environments with multiple platforms simply isn't possible. You don't want to just update Windows software behind a VPN. You want to update all your endpoints no matter what OS and third party applications they're running.

That's where Automox comes in. As a cloud-native, cross-OS platform for securing, updating, and configuring your endpoints, Automox delivers the visibility, insights, and control necessary for today's IT management. Start a trial today to see how you can manage IT operating with unprecedented speed, simplicity, and automation - while cutting costs by up to 80%.

It's clear why Automox is better.

Want to feel confident that your reports are accurate?

With one glance at your Automox console, you can be certain your endpoints are up-to-date and your inventories are accurate. You can't say the same about your WSUS reporting, which is notorious for showing results that a manual scan will contradict.

Wondering if it's possible for a single solution to patch 3rd party applications, too?

Vulnerabilities also exist in non-Microsoft products. Yet WSUS does not provide simple, straightforward options for updating anything but Windows software. Automox does, providing out-of-the-box support for 3rd party applications. Now, you can feel secure in your other business-critical products like Java, Adobe, Chrome, and more.

Looking for a simple, agile way to patch over the Internet?

Today, more workers operate from remote locations than ever. WSUS can only ensure all those remote endpoints get patched when they connect to the corporate network via VPN.

Automox, on the other hand, patches automatically every time a device is connected to the Internet.
