Kirubakaran Jayakumar - PeerSpot reviewer
Agentless and can easily integrate with other platforms and provides robust API monitoring capabilities
Axonius can improve on delivering compliance-related features, like PCI DSS, and different dashboards that work with various compliances. For example, if a company follows ISO, they can create a dashboard that shows the gaps within that compliance framework. They have started delivering some of these features, but the tool still needs to mature for companies that heavily rely on certain standards, like payment compliances or cloud security guidelines. In those cases, the tool might need further development. However, I haven’t had specific issues because they are really good at fixing things. Whenever we report or escalate something, they are quick in providing solutions. I think they are very flexible in terms of working with them. But at the same time, they are customizing the solution too much based on client requirements. This might cause issues in the future because if they keep customizing the solution for every single client’s requirement, they might face difficulties in future releases. Integrating every customer’s options within the platform might be challenging to handle. That might be a risk they are taking. But we have had good communication with them, and overall, it’s been positive.

Helps with guarantee and warranty period management, license expiration tracking, device patches, and integration with our finance system for depreciation and invoicing
We are the users of the tool, and we are using it for our customers as well. We have multitenant operations, and we're using it for our customer. Our primary use cases are warranty period management, license expiration tracking, enterprise OS patches for devices like firewalls and switches, and…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Axonius provides preconfigured dashboards that can be customized to your needs."
"The solution's technical support was good...The product's initial setup phase is pretty straightforward."
"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."
"I like that the tool has a user-friendly interface. It helps organizations and big companies improve business requirements and control processes."
"The automation capabilities in Axonius have streamlined our security operations."
"The ability to define custom templates for asset management helps track assets, budgets, warranties, and expiries effectively."
"The auto-discovery feature has helped us a lot."
"ManageEngine IT Asset Management helps with guarantee and warranty period management, license expiration tracking, device patches, and integration with our finance system for depreciation and invoicing."
"The technical support is great."
"In my opinion, it is the MDM; patch management and deployment are the valuable features."
 

Cons

"Axonius can improve on delivering compliance-related features."
"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."
"For us, the product's deployment phase was a little challenging because we had to deal with other departments and business units."
"We can have fetch cycle issues."
"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."
"The asset management tool is costly."
"It would be helpful if there were a premium technician license that includes all the suites, eliminating the need to buy separate licenses for each feature."
"Responses from ManageEngine should be faster."
"The assets that can be discovered are pretty easy to manage, but there should be a better way to manage non-discoverable assets. Our development team works on bots and tests particular hardware. They have got different varieties of hardware. They want a feature for managing these assets within a warehouse kind of environment. For example, our IT has received 100 items, and they have assigned these items as a bulk unit to a project manager. The project manager further wants to distribute these items within his or her team. Instead of maintaining a separate Excel sheet, the project manager should be able to reallocate these items from within the tool so that we have hierarchical entities for the same unit."
"The engineering area needs improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Axonius is quite a bit cheaper compared to other solutions."
"We are on a subscription model with them."
"Its price is reasonable, but I wish it was lower."
