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.

Pros

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

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

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

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

"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."

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

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

"The most valuable component of the ITSM tool is the help desk due to its organized way of raising tickets."

"The technical support is great."

"As far as IT Asset Management is concerned, I would rate it at ten out of ten."

"The most valuable component of the ITSM tool is the help desk due to its organized way of raising tickets."

Cons

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

"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."

"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."

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

"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."

"Responses from ManageEngine should be faster."

"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 asset management tool is costly."

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

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

"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 assets that can be discovered are pretty easy to manage, but there should be a better way to manage non-discoverable assets. Our development team works on bots and tests particular hardware. They have got different varieties of hardware. They want a feature for managing these assets within a warehouse kind of environment. For example, our IT has received 100 items, and they have assigned these items as a bulk unit to a project manager. The project manager further wants to distribute these items within his or her team. Instead of maintaining a separate Excel sheet, the project manager should be able to reallocate these items from within the tool so that we have hierarchical entities for the same unit."

"The engineering area needs improvement."
