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.

A security solution for vulnerability assessment with automated scans
Additional costs are associated with using the solution, as additional scanners are required for different endpoints connected to the Tenable Security Center. If Tenable Security Center could extract information from these scanners automatically rather than manually, it would enhance user-friendliness for customers. For example, suppose I manually conducted CIS hardening or compliance scoring in a separate data centre. These scores should also be reflected in the Tenable Security Center dashboard. Since the scanner is connected to the Tenable Security Center, the dashboard should display the direct scan results from the general security centre and the connected scanners. There could be unusual activities or attacks with the rising AI-related issues or threats that the Tenable Security Center could track in the future.
