Identity management has streamlined user lifecycle and now guarantees first-day access
The best features Armis offers include the interaction with my manager in Brazil, whose first name is Rui, and who provided a lot of experience, especially Horácio, who used to work for Microsoft. Horácio helped with issues related to Active Directory and provided ideas on how to best integrate the solutions. The aspect of Armis solution that stood out to me was its flexibility to integrate different applications. The collaboration of the team is really important and key for the project to go well and bring the results the customer is looking for. The solution has the necessary resources and connectors that have built many of the rules needed for integration, regardless of whether the application is an Active Directory, an LDAP directory, a database, or even a specific solution such as SAP. It is also flexible enough to build the business rules that apply specifically to that customer. Armis has positively impacted my organization and my client's organization by ensuring that on day one, new users had all the access they needed to work for the applications that were integrated. Additionally, if a user was dismissed from the company, they would lose all access to the integrated applications because Active Directory, which was key for user authentication, would disable their account. I do not recall any specific statistics regarding measurable results, but there was positive feedback from managers concerning the process during the time I was there.

Centralized asset tracking has transformed governance and now speeds incident response
I would add that currently, the tool supports some integrations, but we would expect it to support broader integration with other security tools, observability, or any other cloud integrations. One area Axonius can be improved is its integration process, as it is not straightforward; there is a lot involved in cloning the instance and other hard changes that I expect to be fully automated, suggesting an agentless method instead of utilizing agents, which feels somewhat legacy but could be improved. The user interface needs improvement because it is a bit laggy sometimes, making it not straightforward when we want to identify things quickly, leading us to go in different directions which could be better tied together in one place.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Real-time asset monitoring in Armis helps with network operations, especially in comparison to Nozomi."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is asset tracking."
"Armis has positively impacted my organization by helping me identify vulnerabilities more effectively, especially on assets that I did not know existed on the network."
"Armis is a straightforward and user-friendly solution."
"The solution’s vulnerability monitoring system is very good."
"I find the most valuable features of Armis to be its focus on IT, OT security, and medical device security."
"It determines which assets and devices are at risk, alerts you if there's a risk, and categorizes all assets, including personal computers, mobile phones, servers, televisions, cars, and video game consoles."
"The initial setup and deployment were simple."
"With this solution in place, we are now 100% compliant along with security functions or operations area management."
"The solution's technical support was good...The product's initial setup phase is pretty straightforward."
"he best feature I found in Axonius is that it shows us the duration of eCheck, and it shows us what device is down and in which part of the system life cycle or the checking part the system is down in."
"Overall, I would rate Axonius an eight out of ten."
"I like that the tool has a user-friendly interface. It helps organizations and big companies improve business requirements and control processes."
"The automation capabilities in Axonius have streamlined our security operations."
"In comparing Axonius to other products, I believe its main competitors on the market offer similar functionalities, but my experience with other solutions has shown me that Axonius stands out."
"Axonius provides preconfigured dashboards that can be customized to your needs."
 

Cons

"We face issues during implementation."
"We have faced issues with the tool's stability."
"The OpenText solution we used had to improve its development in relation to cloud environments. They have started to offer a version that works on the cloud, but they are really behind in that aspect today."
"The solution's vulnerability testing could be improved."
"After implementing Armis, an organization experiences it as an add-on. Without asset visibility or vulnerability prioritization, it becomes a useless product."
"Like any IT tool, continuous learning and improvement are essential for the solution."
"There are occasional issues with some built-in integrations that require troubleshooting, particularly with DHCP integration. Developing additional integrations would be beneficial."
"The vulnerability assessment for Windows is not that great. It misses out on a lot of vulnerabilities."
"For us, the product's deployment phase was a little challenging because we had to deal with other departments and business units."
"We can have fetch cycle issues."
"Axonius could improve by increasing their integrations with more technology vendors."
"One area Axonius can be improved is its integration process, as it is not straightforward; there is a lot involved in cloning the instance and other hard changes that I expect to be fully automated, suggesting an agentless method instead of utilizing agents, which feels somewhat legacy but could be improved."
"For Axonius, I would suggest supporting more ticketing platforms and enhancing API integration directly into the platform rather than just the connector. This would allow for better integration from different systems, possibly into workflows, which I think is currently lacking."
"Axonius can improve on delivering compliance-related features."
"Regarding the improvement of Axonius, it goes halfway for both the tool and the user. If we set it up quickly from our end, and if the AD groups and all other groups assigned to tag the assets have been tagged correctly, Axonius could not show an error."
"Adding more detailed descriptions or YouTube videos about specific features would help improve the application."
