How is Patch Management powered by Automox better than simply running auto-updates?

Running automatic updates is like dividing your security policy up among each of your employees, and hoping that they patch and maintain their individual systems. This approach can work for individual machines but often fails at scale. Human behavior takes over, and machines miss patches or ignore critical updates, greatly increasing attack vectors.

Running only auto-updates creates risks and inefficiencies for your entire organization:

When an end-user skips a patch, they expose your entire network to risk.
The constant need to update software and remove unapproved software is a nuisance for IT managers. Auto-updates offer no single view of OS and software updates available to your organization, or a view about devices that are out of compliance.
Auto-updates do not give IT a central/single location for reporting on inventory, patch level, configuration settings, or compliance status.
Auto-updates provide no reporting or verification of endpoint status, patches applied, or level of vulnerability.
Auto-updates are inconsistent and can rarely force the user to update/install critical security releases.
Common malware silently disables OS auto-updates and patching.
