Hexnode, the unified endpoint management (UEM) solution by Mitsogo, has added Hexnode Automate, a built-in automation module.
Automate helps reduce repetitive work by simplifying how routine actions are planned, triggered, and monitored from a centralized, user-friendly interface. The module also supports scheduled patch deployments, helping IT teams ensure timely updates across their device fleet while retaining control with manual patching options when necessary.
Key Patch Management Features in Hexnode Automate include:
- Flexible Deployment Options – Hexnode Automate offers both manual and automatic patch rollouts. IT teams can schedule updates during designated maintenance windows, ensuring timely updates that preserves system integrity while easing day-to-day workload.
- Granular Targeting – Admins can target patch deployments based on specific attributes like device type, user role, network, or compliance status, or based on the patch criticality, ensuring updates reach only the intended endpoints.
- Centralized Patch Visibility and Reporting – Monitor patch status through a unified dashboard showing missing updates, reboot requirements, and vulnerability insights. Generate detailed reports and receive failure alerts when scheduled patch actions don’t go as planned.
- Failsafe Deployment Options – Organisations can choose between forced, deferred, or manual patch rollouts, without missing critical updates. In the event of unexpected issues, rollback support enables swift reversion to a stable state, minimising potential disruptions.
