Integrates with ServiceNow and provides alerts for deviations

The most valuable feature of Axonius is its ability to deduplicate records and identify which ones are old and stale versus those more relevant. For example, if you haven't logged in today but a system somewhere else mentions you have, Axonius can detect this through various logs like Active Directory, file logging, or Wi-Fi connections. Traditionally, someone would have to make numerous calls and spend a lot of time to find out if you are on-site or connected to a Wi-Fi network. The tool simplifies this process. From my experience, onboarding and adding connectors was pretty easy, especially when integrating with the ServiceNow environment. It worked well for my use case, but the ease of use can depend on the customer's specific needs and what they are trying to achieve.

Enables effective incident management and seamless workflow automation with valuable mobile accessibility

I haven't thought deeply about improvements for ServiceNow or what might be missing right now. There are so many modules and features in ServiceNow that I haven't explored them all, so it's hard to say what might be missing or should be improved. I suggest making the cost more affordable for smaller companies.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."

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

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

"The flow designer feature of ServiceNow has had the biggest impact on our productivity because it has helped me reduce manual efforts by creating automation and robotics."

"I find almost all the features valuable. It can do nearly everything except make your coffee, as my colleagues always say. It's got pros and cons, like every software, but the good thing about it is that it has a very structured approach."

"A workflow automation platform that's reliable, performs well, and has good reporting and integration."

"It actually has quite a wide list of modules and processes. Currently, we are implementing project management and Scaled Agile Framework for one of our customers."

"Data in reports and dashboards are easily accessible."

"It's great to do statuses or to review tasks."

"ServiceNow is one of the few easiest platforms you can integrate with products like Ansible to automate your workflows."

"ServiceNow gives us a lot for free: workflows, organizational structures, service portal, forms, reporting, disaster recovery, and so on."

More ServiceNow pros

Cons

"We can have fetch cycle issues."

"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 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."

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

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

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

"There is room for improvement in price."

"There is a need to enhance ticket details visibility on the portal, such as displaying SLA information, which currently requires development effort."

"Integration capabilities can improve."

"I do not like the user interface."

"From an HR standpoint, if users can have a very integrated onboarding or offboarding process between ServiceNow and Workday, then it can give a very good employee experience."

"The solution could improve by making the CMDB integrate with a CI better to allow it to be seen across multiple platforms."

"ServiceNow's mobile app should be seamless and it is not right now."

"The customer service of the product right now isn't very good. It's an aspect they really need to improve."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Axonius is quite a bit cheaper compared to other solutions."

"We are on a subscription model with them."

"Certainly, from a product-platform perspective, the price is not too bad."

"The mandatory minimum is US$ 20,000 for licensing."

"The price of the solution is comparable to industry standards. For the features that we received, it is reasonable."

"The licensing cost is based on your partnership with ServiceNow and what you have selected for implementation. There is an annual license cost which is calculated based on your number of devices."

"The price could be a little lower for the solution. Many of my customers have issues with the licensing process, they have to make it easier and straightforward."

"The setup cost is high compared to others, especially when the scope is not fixed."

"We are happy with the pricing."

"Initially, the licensing model ServiceNow came up with was very good. But now, from a licensing perspective, they are changing their model day by day. It is becoming a bit expensive for customers."
