Action1
Product Summary
Action1 is a cloud-based management system for internal IT departments and managed service providers. The platform features a typical monitoring and management tool, but the solution mostly highlights its patch management capabilities.
Use Cases
- Patch management:
Action1 poised its patch management capabilities as its cornerstone feature, allowing continuous patch compliance for servers and workstations. - Vulnerability discovery:
The management and monitoring tool provides real-time vulnerability discovery, reducing ransomware risks for the IT infrastructure. - Easy deployment:
Technicians can quickly deploy applications and software to their endpoints.
Shortcomings
- Software compatibility:
The Action1 agent is strictly Windows. The core platform requires a Windows machine (Windows 7 or later) to function. - Navigation:
More advanced features are buried within the platform, making it hard for technicians to locate them. - Reporting:
Action1’s reporting section could be improved since there’s currently no way to pull a report per device of all the software installed.

Automox provides managed service providers (MSPs) and IT teams visibility of all endpoints. It allows organizations to automate software patch deployment, create custom scripts for Windows, MacOS, and Linux endpoints, and support third-party software.
Use Cases
- Patch management:

Automox can integrate with scanning solutions to detect endpoint vulnerability.
Shortcomings
- Complexity:
Some users might find the platform’s advanced features a bit overwhelming, particularly if they are looking for a simple patch management solution. - Device recognition:
Some users have encountered devices incorrectly showing an offline status. This issue requires the device to be manually rebooted to resolve. - Reporting:
Some users have expressed that Automox’s reporting capabilities do not meet their needs as reports have limited information. Furthermore, the lack of multi-tenancy requires users to view reports from each tenant individually.
