Armis Centrix FEDRAMP Authorized [Private Offer]

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.

Armis  is a cloud-based SaaS solution designed specifically for manufacturing environments, especially for companies implementing Industry 4.0. My primary use is in network-based security, offering asset discovery, visibility, protection, and vulnerability assessment.

Armis  is very easy to implement due to its agentless design and offers a granular level of visibility for all assets in the network. Its asset visibility capabilities are a significant advantage. 

Additionally, it is easy to maintain, allowing me to handle it with a single management console. The solution provides seamless integration through API-based integration, and it is highly scalable.

Armis could improve its geographic spread and marketing campaigns across regions.

I have been working with Armis for the last six to seven months.

I have not come across any glitches with Armis. It is 100% stable.

Armis is extremely easy to scale and is fully scalable.

Customer support is satisfactory. I would rate it ten out of ten.

Positive

I used to work with CoSoSys. I stopped about two to three months ago. I haven't worked on Armis prior to this.

Armis is very easy to implement, being an agentless solution.

I am involved in part implementation of Armis.

It is difficult to quantify a return on investment at this point. We may analyze it down the line in about a year.

Armis pricing is average, neither cheaper nor more expensive than other solutions. It is too early to comment on ROI or other associated cost benefits.

I have not evaluated other solutions.

Armis is completely AI-enabled, although there is not much scope for additional AI integrations currently. 

I give Armis a rating of ten out of ten. 

For the future, Armis is anticipated to introduce new features, but I have not explored these deeply.

I used it for asset management in my cybersecurity training program called CyberNow Labs. It was used during security operations and investigations to identify assets within our CNL network and to determine their risk status.

If I see a device in my CNL network, I can check Armis  to verify its legitimacy and its risk status.

I like the analytics and the asset management part of it. It determines which assets and devices are at risk, alerts you if there's a risk, and categorizes all assets, including personal computers, mobile phones, servers, televisions, cars, and video game consoles.

There isn't anything specific that needs improvement.

I was taught to use the tool during my cybersecurity training program called CyberNow Labs.

I've never experienced any issues with stability. I would give it a ten out of ten.

It is a very useful tool, especially for cybersecurity analysts and SOC analysts. It allows easy scaling.

Their support team is usually very responsive and quick to address any issues.

Positive

I did not use a different solution before Armis .

I don't know anything about the setup. It was done by the engineering team in my program's SOC environment.

I would tell newcomers that this tool can be used to find any electronic technology device, including personal computers, cars, televisions, and video game consoles. This aspect really intrigued me.

I'd rate the solution ten out of ten.

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.
