The app is now available in the Zendesk Marketplace. Automox CTO Jason Kikta said the integration extends autonomous endpoint management into the service desk, giving IT teams clarity and the ability to fix devices quickly. Zendesk's VP of Product Vishnu Parimi noted the integration reduces friction and improves digital experience by enabling end-to-end ticket resolution within Zendesk.
