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.

Continuous discovery has improved network asset visibility and reveals previously unknown devices
The biggest friction point or frustration I have encountered with FireMon Asset Manager is the support experience being inconsistent. Response times can be slow when I have a complex technical issue, and the custom compliance reporting is also fairly limited. If I could change one thing about FireMon Asset Manager, I would ask for faster response times. I would prefer not to be asked the same question repeatedly.

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 solution’s vulnerability monitoring system is very good."
"Armis is very easy to implement due to its agentless design and offers a granular level of visibility for all assets in the network."
"Armis is very easy to implement due to its agentless design and offers a granular level of visibility for all assets in the network."
"Real-time asset monitoring in Armis helps with network operations, especially in comparison to Nozomi."
"Armis is a straightforward and user-friendly solution."
"I find the most valuable features of Armis to be its focus on IT, OT security, and medical device security."
"Armis is easy to use."
"The most valuable aspects of FireMon Asset Manager are its integrations and its ability to passively monitor the network for unknown assets."
"It offers a single platform for managing firewalls of different brands and simplifies policy deployment and auditing. It helps push policies to different firewalls, and it also helps with policy auditing."
"The most valuable feature is the change modules. Whenever there is a change in the firewall, it automatically reflects on FireMon."
"FireMon Asset Manager fills a genuine gap in network security visibility that many organizations underestimate."
 

Cons

"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."
"We have faced issues with the tool's stability."
"The solution's vulnerability testing could be improved."
"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."
"Like any IT tool, continuous learning and improvement are essential for the solution."
"There isn't anything specific that needs improvement."
"After implementing Armis, an organization experiences it as an add-on. Without asset visibility or vulnerability prioritization, it becomes a useless product."
"While passive discovery remains important, active retrieval of asset details would be valuable, and this functionality is starting to be implemented, as I've observed in recent updates but it is not fully there yet."
"It is not very good at monitoring the Check Point firewall, but it works very well with other firewalls such as Palo Alto, Fortinet, and Cisco ASA."
"The biggest friction point or frustration I have encountered with FireMon Asset Manager is the support experience being inconsistent."
"The discovery process could be improved. If incorrect credentials are entered, it should give an error message. That would make our work easy rather than having to troubleshoot why the issue is occurring."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The tool is cheap."
"FireMon Asset Manager's pricing has been reasonable and has worked well for us from a licensing standpoint."
"FireMon is more expensive than other brands but justified by its comprehensive feature set. It includes several functions that might require additional subscriptions in other solutions."
