Our verdict on Automox
Automox is a cloud-native IT automation platform for IT and security teams managing laptops, desktops, servers, virtual machines, and containers. An endpoint agent and centralized policies support operating-system and third-party software patching across Windows, macOS, and Linux. The platform also covers configuration enforcement, drift remediation, vulnerability mitigation, software deployment and removal, inventory, scheduling, execution reporting, custom PowerShell and Bash Worklets, remote control, and REST API access. It fits organizations that want centralized endpoint operations without on-premises servers or VPN requirements.
Pricing is structured around three plans. Patch OS starts at $1 per endpoint per month with annual billing and includes Windows, macOS, and Linux support plus operating-system patching. Automate Essentials adds third-party software patching, software deployment, advanced automation policies, device configuration, and API access, with custom pricing. Automate Enterprise adds 432+ plug-and-play Worklet automation scripts, FixNow immediate execution, multi-organization management, and core remote control, also with custom pricing. A 15-day trial is available, but Automox does not offer a permanent free plan.
Automox also connects with Canopy MDM, Palo Alto Networks Cortex XSOAR, Rapid7 InsightConnect, Splunk, ServiceNow Service Graph Connector, and Splashtop. Its platform coverage is broad for teams combining patching, remediation, deployment, inventory, and policy enforcement in one cloud service. The main trade-off is purchasing clarity: only Patch OS has a published starting price, while higher tiers require a custom quote. Choose Automox if low-cost operating-system patching and multi-OS automation are priorities; consider another option if a free plan or fully transparent pricing across advanced features is essential.
