Better graphs and counters on the dashboard. They can be misleading. When we see that low “up to date” percentage it gives us a false sense of alarm.

Also per policy graphs! If I create a policy it would be nice to see a graph to show progress on how many devices have applied it successfully. 

Access to the queue! If a policy or patch gets queued and is having an issue then it would be nice to be able to have that visibility. Or even to cancel something within the queue if it was added by mistake. 

Yeah, that’s a good one! Fwiw, this entire thread gets shared with our “customer feedback” channel/Product team. 

Keep em comin’!! :metal:

Active Directory sync, including details, and OUs.

Better ways to troubleshoot connectivity issues towards third party resources. Currently we can only see connection time-out but not necessary why this is happening. Other great feature would be if connections for updates would be proxied by Automox so you only have to enable connection towards the automox platform or some sort of on-site proxy feature of automox that simply shapes and direct the traffic.

@Wagnco01 +1 “In endpoint view additional pane with its logs from the activity log or at least a link to the report for that device.”

I would like to know the uptime of each device.  If not real-time, at least as of the last time it was scanned.

I have to go to disparate systems to get basic information about each device and to know if (or when) the Automox request to resart was successful.

It would be nice to be able to filter devices by a generic name (Either Starting with, or containing a character string)

i would like an easy and reliable way to manage Windows Store Apps.  If we allow automatic updates then unwanted non-business junk apps get installed.  If we don’t automtaically update them then we find ourselves with vulnerabilities. We use Powershell scripts to remove them but some are very persistent and don;t uninstall or return.  It would be helpful to have a platform that could inventory, update and remove them the way we do legacy desktop apps.

I believe this is possible already if I’m understanding you right. 

If you’re just trying to list the devices in your organization then typing a portion of a hostname should populate a list with all devices that include that string. 

If you’re attempting to create a policy that only applies to devices with a particular string in their hostname I believe you accomplish that with Device Targeting. You would specify a hostname as a filter and set it to “like any,” and specify the hostname string.

Has anyone actually done this and or can confirm?

Something small, but important (to me at least) 😃

 

Change the time-out access on the console...I am a stickler for security like everyone else, but being able to choose from a few timeout options will stop me from muttering every 30 minutes or so.

I’d love to drop into a shell on the endpoint directly from the console.

  • Activity log accessible via API
  • Command queue visibility
  • Custom attributes that can be set via worklet
  • Better worklet testing/development process

When on a device details page - also see a listing of recent activities from the activity log for that device.  Great for when you’re troubleshooting issues or user complaints (like it keeps asking me to apply patches).
