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.

Streamlines prioritization but reporting needs enhancement
There are several areas needing improvement. The product helps, but the reporting relies heavily on Power BI. It is limited to graphical views and requires additional filtering, posing operational challenges. The inability to download specific asset details directly from the Power BI portal is a drawback, particularly for non-technical users, though it provides high-level executive summaries. The reporting model should be enhanced so that we have the flexibility to download. We have requested a few features, and they are open to accepting those requests. It needs ITSM improvements. It has out-of-the-box integration with ServiceNow, but the customer is using BMC Helix ITSM. We would like an integration with BMC Helix ITSM. When uploading CSV files without an out-of-the-box connector, duplicate entries for assets occur. We have already reported this to them, but we are not sure when they will fix it. It will significantly benefit if we can directly upload business context information from CMDB without manual merging efforts. It can also have automatic remediation capabilities through SCCM or something else.
