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.

User-friendly modules impress with customization options while IT knowledge base updates remain incomplete

It's a vast product, and we use ManageEngine IT Asset Management because it has an Ops Manager, Event Viewer, Site 24/7, PAM360, and AD Manager among many options that we plan to explore in the future environment. ManageEngine IT Asset Management explores detailed aspects such as RAM frequency, RAM brand, product, expiry date, users, roles, technicians, groups, support groups, Active Directory, SAML, single sign-on, LDAP, Microsoft Entra ID, proxy settings, and template forms. We are satisfied with the product because each module is user-friendly, and we can customize it based on our organization's requirements. We are looking into the automated IT asset discovery feature. We have configured the incoming and outgoing mail server so that when users send an email to our standardized mail ID, it automatically creates a ticket. In the future, we will explore automation features such as SLA, KPI, and KRA to align targets, manage resources, assess project utilization, and assign tickets based on priority levels.

Quotes from Members

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

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

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

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

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

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

"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."

"The auto-discovery feature has helped us a lot."

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

Cons

"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."

"Axonius can improve on delivering compliance-related features."

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

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

"We can have fetch cycle issues."

"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."

"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."

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

"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 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."

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

"Responses from ManageEngine should be faster."

"The engineering area needs improvement."

"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."
