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.

Offers contextual prioritization and risk-based remediation of vulnerability
An improvement would be some sort of an integration with any GRC suite. There are a lot of GRC suites available, like Archer, MetricStream, Rsam, Protiviti, for example. So how would a solution like this work if my company has already invested thousands or maybe millions in a GRC solution? Do I still need it and how does it fit into an existing SAP environment? There could be interoperability, having more data sources, integrating Splunk, Qualys, FireEye, Rapid7, Carbon Black. I'm sure all that can be done to an extent, with a little more insight and a little more accuracy on the industry numbers and trends. I'd like the solution to offer any sort of assistance in any way with the remediation part, not just identification of vulnerability risk, and that is second.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The tool is user-friendly and helps to detect vulnerabilities."
"The solution’s vulnerability monitoring system is very good."
"The technology is good."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is asset tracking."
"Armis saves time by automating asset inventory management, allowing enterprises to quickly strategize by understanding their assets and exposures."
"The initial setup and deployment were simple."
"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."
"Armis has reduced the cost of employment because before, I had to take all the logs, and the logs required so many more employees, but currently, one employee is handling everything, saving the cost of four employees."
"The risk context of any vulnerability is a valuable feature."
"The risk context of any vulnerability is a valuable feature; that is what it is used for and then data from different sources can be fed into it, and they have good dashboards, risk meters, and virtualization."
 

Cons

"We face issues during implementation."
"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."
"There are occasional issues with some built-in integrations that require troubleshooting, particularly with DHCP integration. Developing additional integrations would be beneficial."
"Armis doesn't have a back intel feature."
"Like any IT tool, continuous learning and improvement are essential for the solution."
"In terms of stability, Armis is not completely stable, as sometimes incidents may occur."
"There isn't anything specific that needs improvement."
"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."
"An improvement would be some sort of an integration with any GRC suite."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The tool is cheap."
"I think the pricing is based on the number of endpoints, so it's more subscription-based."
