Comprehensive visibility has transformed how I secure and prioritize risks across connected devices
The best features Armis offers include vulnerability management for OT and IoT devices, providing risk prioritization, and offering protection across all connected assets. Armis cyber exposure management is very good as it provides continuous visibility, risk prioritization, and protection across all connected assets. Armis has positively impacted my organization by providing asset discovery for both OT and IoT, as well as threat visibility for OT and IoT devices along with vulnerability information, including the CVE number so that I can fix the threat on OT and IoT devices. Most of the time, focus is on IT devices and attention is not paid to OT and IoT. Armis facilitates focus on OT and IoT as well, closing the gap that often exists. Armis makes life easier for customers by providing visibility of OT and IoT, as well as threat visibility. Armis has a user-friendly interface, is very useful for customers, provides quality support, and has a global presence allowing easy access for both customers and Armis representatives. The console is user-friendly. Armis handles compliance requirements in my industry very well and is useful.

Has a learning curve that is easy to deal with for users
With the tool, the learning curve is really good. I don't have to spend time in long training sessions, which is typically required for other platforms. As my company is a Microsoft kind of shop, we have developers, making the learning curve easy compared to other tools. When it comes to integration with the back-end systems, manufacturing companies are still using some other apps in their environment. Getting data or pushing those analytics data back to the back-end systems is relatively simple while using Azure Sphere and other integration points, and so that is why there is a clear direction from our company's end customer that they need an Azure solution.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"The tool is user-friendly and helps to detect vulnerabilities."
"Armis transforms cybersecurity from a cost center into a business performance driver, delivering quantifiable ROI through reduced risk, operational efficiency, and compliance readiness for board-level discussions."
"The technology is good."
"The solution’s vulnerability monitoring system is very good."
"Armis is easy to use."
"Armis is very easy to implement due to its agentless design and offers a granular level of visibility for all assets in the network."
"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."
"I think my team is comfortable with the installation of the product."
"It's stable and the performance has been great."
"When you use this solution, you get a dual processor with all the necessary security and Microsoft updates supplied, so you don't have to be concerned about the security aspect related to IoT because Microsoft takes care of this."
 

Cons

"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."
"Armis could improve its geographic spread and marketing campaigns across regions."
"My experience with Armis has been positive, especially around asset visibility, unmanaged device monitoring, and risk intelligence. However, there are a few areas for improvement."
"We face difficulties in integrating the product with ticketing tools like ServiceNow."
"The vulnerability assessment for Windows is not that great. It misses out on a lot of vulnerabilities."
"After implementing Armis, an organization experiences it as an add-on. Without asset visibility or vulnerability prioritization, it becomes a useless product."
"There isn't anything specific that needs improvement."
"The lack of awareness of the products among our company's customers is a challenge that needs to be looked at and improved by Microsoft."
"The type of edge devices being addressed through the suite was limited, however, even that has also significantly increased."
"One of the pain points of this solution is that the full Linux box is not exposed to all developers. This restricts what the applications can do as they cant be adjusted."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The tool is cheap."
"This solution offers secure IoT communication to the cloud at a fairly low cost."
