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.

Cloud storage with no hardware needed and great comprehensive reports

The software is cloud-based, so I do not need to store any data locally. It is a fully software-based solution, eliminating the need for investment in hardware. We have the capability to create reports as needed. It is good software to use, as there were no incidents where I needed to contact technical support. Additionally, it is free software.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The automation capabilities in Axonius have streamlined our security operations."

"The solution's technical support was good...The product's initial setup phase is pretty straightforward."

"I like that the tool has a user-friendly interface. It helps organizations and big companies improve business requirements and control processes."

"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."

"With this solution in place, we are now 100% compliant along with security functions or operations area management."

"Axonius provides preconfigured dashboards that can be customized to your needs."

"Overall, I would rate Axonius an eight out of ten."

"Spiceworks is generic and free."

"Customer Service: Over 10/10 as the user network is incredibly active."

"Spiceworks is very easy to install and configure generally."

"SpiceWorks is an easy to install and maintain inventory and help desk system for SMBs and it's free!"

"The documentation is also very helpful in figuring out the product."

"Spiceworks' dashboard allows you to drill down to the notes, where I can take an inventory of the network and see the devices I need to monitor."

"Helpdesk and inventory are both equally valuable, and they form the true core of the product."

"If you need a help desk, just do it."

More Spiceworks pros

Cons

"Axonius could improve by increasing their integrations with more technology vendors."

"We can have fetch cycle issues."

"For us, the product's deployment phase was a little challenging because we had to deal with other departments and business units."

"Adding more detailed descriptions or YouTube videos about specific features would help improve the application."

"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."

"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."

"Axonius can improve on delivering compliance-related features."

"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."

"I think its monitoring tools could use some improvement."

"Sometimes, it can be difficult to integrate what you need."

"Yes, too many. We tried it on a VM, but we had to reboot every 2 days."

"The devices keep showing offline in the dashboard, but when we check it, it's already online."

"I would like to see more information when drilling down into access permissions, assignments management, or tagging."

"The SNMP sniffer requires a lot of work to get right."

"Most problems are the system bugs and slowness, also because the product has a web interface that makes a lot of problems like refreshing and information loss."

"The GUI must be improved."

More Spiceworks cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We are on a subscription model with them."

"Axonius is quite a bit cheaper compared to other solutions."

"The product is free! Get it now."

"It's free."

"Seeing that it is a low-cost solution, I would advise you to go ahead with Spiceworks and experiment with it to see if you can get things working properly, especially if you currently don't have any existing service desk software in place."

"The tool is cheap."

"It might be about $300 annually for a bigger company. If you pay annually, it's better and cheaper."
