External reviews are not included in the AWS star rating for the product.
I am a distributor for Armis and have been working with them for about two to three years now. I am familiar with Armis Centrix for asset management and security.
Armis is typically used for correlating all the data and can integrate with existing security solutions such as VAPT, EDR, or existing firewalls.
I find the most valuable features of Armis to be its focus on IT, OT security, and medical device security.
Armis provides full visibility on OT devices and in the medical industry for devices such as ECG machines, X-rays, and infusion pumps. ECG devices, ECG machines, X-rays, and infusion pumps are all part of the medical devices that Armis covers.
Armis's integration capabilities help enhance security posture by correlating data to categorize based on priority levels or risk levels.
I am referring to the contextual awareness feature in Armis, which helps prioritize remediations. Viper, Vulnerability Prioritization and Remediation, is the product responsible for that. It will identify asset behavior, such as when an asset is communicating to external parties suddenly.
Armis can be somewhat expensive and there is not much sales presence for Armis.
Without any existing security solution on the customer's end, Armis will only collect telemetry data, which is the device IP address.
After implementing Armis, an organization experiences it as an add-on. Without asset visibility or vulnerability prioritization, it becomes a useless product.
Armis cannot be used as a standalone solution and should be integrated with other solutions. It cannot be used standalone because it requires other security solutions for the integration part.
I have been working in this field for nearly four years now.
Until now, I have not faced challenges with Armis support, as pre-sales engineers have been helpful. I would rate support an eight because their pre-sales team is very responsive and helpful.
When implementing Armis, there are not many challenges since it is a cloud-based solution and I just have to buy the license and have an appliance to onboard.
You do not spend much time on all of these configuration setup processes, and it may take around a day. Fixing that appliance takes about a day, and then I have to do some configuration. Configuration takes the most time.
For overall time, it may take around two to three days because the appliance has to collect all the device data to be in production.
I personally participate in the deployment of Armis, or it is done by different people based on customer requirements. Usually, just one person participates in deployment from my side.
One engineer will participate, and Armis is now part of ServiceNow because ServiceNow has acquired Armis.
There is nothing in terms of return on investment or cost reductions in the long run after implementing Armis.
I would rate this review seven out of ten.
The main purpose for using Armis is to gather information about OT assets, healthcare assets, and IT, every connected asset in our environment. We also use it for vulnerability management and assessment, especially for OT and IoT devices. Additionally, we analyze technical debt by identifying assets nearing end-of-life and check for misconfigurations.
Deeper asset visibility and device intelligence brings to detect and alert onto the vulnerability.
Armis has a vast database of devices, which aids in device detection and functioning evaluation. The solution listens to passive scanners for traffic data without active scans, allowing device identification from an inventory standpoint. It assesses open vulnerabilities, provides traffic flow insights, integrates with ticketing workflows, and aggregates security solutions like Active Directory and EDR.
There are occasional issues with some built-in integrations that require troubleshooting, particularly with DHCP integration. Developing additional integrations would be beneficial.
I have been dealing with Armis for around two years.
The solution is stable, and I have not faced any performance issues with the console or queries.
As a SaaS platform, it is highly scalable. However, deploying appliances within the network might depend on correctly sizing the appliances as needed.
I have not closely worked with Armis support but have had positive experiences working with presales engineers.
Positive
I was a partner with Armis at my previous organization.
The initial setup involves installing appliances in the IT environment to capture data from on-prem applications. The SaaS model simplifies analytics by forwarding network data to the cloud.
Armis saves time by automating asset inventory management, allowing enterprises to quickly strategize by understanding their assets and exposures.
I'm not well-versed in its pricing, but it is feature-rich and justifiably priced.
I am not sure about specific alternatives, but Armis has greater visibility compared to solutions like Tenable OT, Nozomi Networks, or Claroty.
The overall solution is highly rated at nine out of ten.
Neutral
We used the platform for vulnerability management.
The solution made generating documentation and sharing reports via email easy.
Like any IT tool, continuous learning and improvement are essential for the solution.
I have been using Armis for one year.
I rate the solution an eight out of ten for stability.
As mentioned earlier, the platform could slow down when multiple users were active in the same environment. However, this is common for IT tools. Despite this, the product scaled data and functionalities effectively when needed.
I rate the scalability an eight.
I did not need to contact their support team, but they were very helpful when we onboarded the platform.
The initial setup and deployment were simple. It was already configured for me, and when I was introduced to it and shown how to manage it, I found it very easy to use.
Armis' automated risk assessment helped us identify vulnerabilities, such as open ports and external factors, that posed risks to our systems. Although we eventually switched to Nmap, the platform effectively highlighted these vulnerabilities.
It is user-friendly for asset management and security, but specific use cases, such as those involving medical devices, may require specialized training.
I advise others to thoroughly learn the platform, which is useful for specific tools like medical devices and IoT. They should use it for at least three to four years to fully benefit from the solution.
Overall, I rate it a nine out of ten.
Armis is an asset management tool that locates devices and checks whether or not they are compliant. It's a prebuilt module that performs vulnerability testing. We also use the tool for risk and compliance.
The most valuable feature of the solution is asset tracking. In the corporate field, some users go to the on-site saying that they misplaced their laptops, and they raise a ticket to provide a new laptop. We find the truth by pulling the serial number and finding the last login, which user has been logging into the system, and whether they're connected to a network.
It's like a security incident endpoint manager. We use the solution to track the asset, find the risk and compliance, and determine whether it is compatible with the security framework.
The solution's vulnerability testing could be improved. Some users use VDI, and others use the virtual environment for Azure, AWS, or GCP. We had to embed security tools that could trace that website with the help of security attacks like Cross-Site Scripting. We can perform on the target machine whether the user is connected to the VPN or not. This makes it easier to identify and mitigate the risks as soon as possible.
It can be a spontaneous response to the customer or the management, whether they are a security incident controller or not. It will be easier to access your operation.
I have been using Armis for two and a half years.
I haven’t faced any issues with the solution’s stability.
The solution's technical support team responds spontaneously because it's already been integrated into the client location. After raising a ticket, the technical support team provides support to the end user within one and a half hours as per their SLA.
The initial setup of the solution is very easy and is based on the APIs.
If the platform is rebuilt in the Azure portal and the domain has already been created, the solution can be deployed in only 24 hours.
The risk assessment identifies risks in the system connected to Microsoft CVE. We mitigate the risks automatically in the Armis tool so that they are easier for a technical person to solve on a laptop. The solution is deployed on the cloud, and it's a subscription-based model. The solution is easier for a technician to use, but it's not very easy for a new user from a different background to navigate the portal. I would recommend Armis to other users.
Overall, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.
The solution provides lateral movement detection.
The technology is good. The solution improves device visibility.
We face difficulties in integrating the product with ticketing tools like ServiceNow.
I have been using the solution for one year.
I rate the tool’s stability an eight out of ten. We faced some issues with the ticketing tool.
I rate the tool’s scalability a nine out of ten. We have 50 to 80 users in our organization.
We contact support whenever we face some issues with implementation or configuration. The support is quite good.
Positive
The product is deployed on the cloud. The deployment is not difficult. It takes us four to five hours to do the deployment.
I will recommend the solution to others. The features, device visibility, and usability of the tool are good. Armis adapts according to our organization’s security demands. Overall, I rate the product a nine out of ten.
