Director of cloud security at Nuxeo

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.

Helpful smart automation and tracking that can be used with minimal adjustments

This is a recording system, and it's an automation system. It's very smart. I use it with minimal adjustments needed. The focus is on test management. Everything can be tracked from asset management. Asset management offers many facilities. It doesn't require additional training for ManageEngine or technicians. Assets are simply reported from the dashboard, indicating where IT is missing, where compliance is mentioned, or where action is needed, with driver updates. All facilities are available in the enterprise edition, allowing users, customers, or any organization to easily obtain their referred insights. Anyone can easily install it. There are no handbells. An app provides instructions, with documentation available. Sometimes, IT issues arise like fraud blocking or service-related problems. Upon facing an issue, feedback is integrated, and the solution is provided from their end. This is a very IT-friendly solution. We get LiveSat and IT management. Facilities are accessible, like exporting the installation folder, making the migration process easy. Failover or redundancy can occur within two to five hours, making it scalable. This is a very stable solution.

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

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

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

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

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

"The technical support is great."

Cons

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

"We can have fetch cycle issues."

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

"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."

"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."

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

"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."

"Responses from ManageEngine should be faster."

"I hope it includes barcode features, as barcode scanning and MacAdes cannot currently be mapped with this field."

"The asset management tool is costly."

"I would love to see a digital adoption feature or guide that navigates first-time users through the application, as it is quite complex with many relevant and irrelevant elements."

"It would be helpful if there were a premium technician license that includes all the suites, eliminating the need to buy separate licenses for each feature."

"I would love to see a digital adoption feature or guide that navigates first-time users through the application, as it is quite complex with many relevant and irrelevant elements."

"The engineering area needs improvement."

"It requires some development to be better, more comfortable, and usable, enhancing customer satisfaction."
