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.

Custom integration and reporting lead to efficient ticket management

There is a need for bug or error tracking in ServiceNow. Although there are child incidents or tickets, tracking primary issues or bugs within enhancements is not present. The reporting features in the new portal could be more user-friendly. While it provides options to minimize chart and image sizes, actual implementation doesn't always reflect these changes.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."

"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."

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

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

"Remote access is most valuable."

"The thing that I like most about it is the easy integration with the CMDB. I'm able to look at the CMDB for applications and develop my assessments and attestations based on the application and point them at that application owner. So, I can really automate the whole thing."

"I find the incident management part to be the most valuable. That's how the service desk tracks tickets."

"This solution is a single-storage for our user community to submit help desk tickets."

"I have found that sorting and grouping functions are particularly useful."

"I recommend ServiceNow due to its stability and good security."

"You can put information in or export it out quickly, which is very useful when you have weekly or monthly reports."

"The subsequent chain of tasks, I believe, is valuable."

More ServiceNow pros

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 can improve on delivering compliance-related features."

"We can have fetch cycle issues."

"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."

"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."

"It should include information on navigating various user interfaces for creating diverse requests directed to different teams."

"It's a great platform, but there's still room for improvement. As the solutions stands now, you do need a lot of previous experience to use it. It would be great if they could develop some use case templates. This would be beneficial for a small and medium-sized businesses."

"I have a problem with the way the solution's price is calculated."

"It would be nice if we could, with some specific access rights, move histories from one squad to another, as they generate dependencies or duplicate or flag them."

"The interface is not user-friendly."

"There is a need to learn scripting because as in the case of all the ITSM tools, scripting is needed for customization. If you're not very comfortable with scripting, then you may feel that you cannot do everything in ServiceNow without learning scripting."

"There should be greater integration with other enterprise applications. We're using Microsoft, Oracle, and other applications, and it would be good to have a greater integration on some of the immediate hiccups that you have with these services. It doesn't mean that when we have a problem with using another application, ServiceNow should be able to fix it, but ServiceNow should be able to alert us to things. There should be a bit more automation or integration."

"There is room for improvement in price."

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

"We are on a subscription model with them."

"It has a higher cost compared to local/regional solutions."

"ServiceNow is a leader and its pricing is quite good, quite competitive... Sometimes some plugins are not priced reasonably but, generally, the platform itself, its modules, are priced reasonably."

"We know that ServiceNow is not cheap, it's more expensive than other solutions. But we are trying to increase our ability to handle tickets so that the cost per ticket is less."

"It is very expensive because it is a big organization. You have to pay for additional things."

"While the option exists to pay for a monthly license, we are dealing with large enterprises and these typically involve multi-year licenses of ten or five years, at a minimum."

"This is a pretty expensive product, so the licensing could be better."

"The platform offers a free trial, by providing a free developer instance once you sign up."

"The product cost is higher than that of other vendors."
