Provides a very good vulnerability monitoring system, but the implementation is challenging
We face many issues while implementing Armis in the pharma sector. Some of the customer applications are not supported well by the tool. The applications do not communicate well if we implement Armis. We generally face such issues during implementation. We are planning to implement the product in the wind energy sector, but we don't have any idea how to do it. Currently, it is a very big challenge for us. Products like Dragos, Claroty, and Nozomi provide a much better experience during implementation. If any issues arise, we are told how to resolve such issues during the POC. Armis does not provide the secure remote access feature Claroty provides.

Good high throughput and low latency with a great Sp3 Engine
In our organization, we use the product "PA 3220" for Security and NAT policy configuration to block unwanted traffic. We can create different zones in our network, such as trusted, untrusted, DMZ. advance threat protection, and anti-malware protection.  We can create site-to-site and remote site…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The initial setup and deployment were simple."
"Armis is a straightforward and user-friendly solution."
"The tool is user-friendly and helps to detect vulnerabilities."
"The technology is good."
"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."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is asset tracking."
"The solution’s vulnerability monitoring system is very good."
"This solution has been most valuable for establishing a VPN and implementing allow/deny rules. It has also enabled us to create security policies. It is an easy solution to customise when it comes to creating templates and pulling reports."
"I like the Cortex Data Lake integration with security automation."
"Single-pass traffic processing enables very high throughput and low latency."
"It is simple to use. We just need to enable features and then configure IoT policies."
"I like the threat information, and we can share the logging data with Cortex Data Lake."
"The key strength of Palo Alto firewalls lies in their application-based approach, offering a much finer level of control compared to traditional firewalls."
"From a security standpoint, it provides a comprehensive range of standard security features that align with our requirements."
 

Cons

"We face issues during implementation."
"We face difficulties in integrating the product with ticketing tools like ServiceNow."
"There isn't anything specific that needs improvement."
"We have faced issues with the tool's stability."
"The solution's vulnerability testing could be improved."
"Armis doesn't have a back intel feature."
"Like any IT tool, continuous learning and improvement are essential for the solution."
"There can be more automation in terms of security and detection. It is already good."
"It would be beneficial to have a more centralized and user-friendly platform that could consolidate all the necessary information, which proved challenging during the initial POC phase."
"Essentially, this solution focuses on data analysis and cannot perform any physical actions."
"While not overly complex, its usability could be enhanced, making it a more intuitive experience for everyone."
"The reporting for this solution could be improved. The logs we receive are only saved for one week. We would like to have the database timeframe increased to a month or two for historical reporting as well as increased storage capabilities to support this data and reporting."
"More application signatures are required."
"The cost is still high and licensing is still complex."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The tool is cheap."
"The pricing for Palo Alto Networks IoT Security is a bit high."
"While Palo Alto Networks IoT Security might cost more than some competitors, its features and effectiveness justify the price tag."
