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.

Helpful smart automation and tracking that can be used with minimal adjustments
This is a recording system, and it's an automation system. It's very smart. I use it with minimal adjustments needed. The focus is on test management. Everything can be tracked from asset management. Asset management offers many facilities. It doesn't require additional training for ManageEngine or technicians. Assets are simply reported from the dashboard, indicating where IT is missing, where compliance is mentioned, or where action is needed, with driver updates. All facilities are available in the enterprise edition, allowing users, customers, or any organization to easily obtain their referred insights. Anyone can easily install it. There are no handbells. An app provides instructions, with documentation available. Sometimes, IT issues arise like fraud blocking or service-related problems. Upon facing an issue, feedback is integrated, and the solution is provided from their end. This is a very IT-friendly solution. We get LiveSat and IT management. Facilities are accessible, like exporting the installation folder, making the migration process easy. Failover or redundancy can occur within two to five hours, making it scalable. This is a very stable solution.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"The solution's technical support was good...The product's initial setup phase is pretty straightforward."
"I like that the tool has a user-friendly interface. It helps organizations and big companies improve business requirements and control processes."
"Axonius provides preconfigured dashboards that can be customized to your needs."
"The automation capabilities in Axonius have streamlined our security operations."
"The auto-discovery feature has helped us a lot."
"The most valuable component of the ITSM tool is the help desk due to its organized way of raising tickets."
"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."
"This is a very stable solution."
"The technical support is great."
"It's very smart. I use it with minimal adjustments needed."
"In my opinion, it is the MDM; patch management and deployment are the valuable features."
"The most valuable component of the ITSM tool is the help desk due to its organized way of raising tickets."
 

Cons

"For us, the product's deployment phase was a little challenging because we had to deal with other departments and business units."
"Adding more detailed descriptions or YouTube videos about specific features would help improve the application."
"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 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."
"Axonius can improve on delivering compliance-related features."
"We can have fetch cycle issues."
"I would love to see a digital adoption feature or guide that navigates first-time users through the application, as it is quite complex with many relevant and irrelevant elements."
"The asset management tool is costly."
"Responses from ManageEngine should be faster."
"It requires some development to be better, more comfortable, and usable, enhancing customer satisfaction."
"The engineering area needs improvement."
"I would love to see a digital adoption feature or guide that navigates first-time users through the application, as it is quite complex with many relevant and irrelevant elements."
"I hope it includes barcode features, as barcode scanning and MacAdes cannot currently be mapped with this field."
"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."
