After my decades in IT, autoupdate is something I avoid like the plague. Too many times, an automatic update ended up with IT having to roll back an update. All too often, this involved having to visit the computers in person as when a Microsoft update disabled the wired NICs on ~1000 computers. The best answer we found was to have a test pod where we installed and tested updates before allowing other computers to download them. Between that and getting acquainted with various sites that tracked issues with updates, it was time consuming but a lot less time consuming than visiting 20 sites and rolling back updates.
