At this stage, I would rate it an eight out of ten. The product needs to mature a little bit more in terms of following up on compliances. Axonius is a US-based company. We had a few difficulties in getting the legal documents signed when we started working with them. If they had an EU presence, our legal department might have directly worked with them, and it would have been much easier. But since they are completely US-based, we had to sign a lot of data processing agreements and deal with transferring data between the EU and US. The legal department had a few hiccups, and it took some time to go through all those processes. In the future, if they have a regional headquarters in the EU or where there is no data transfer from the EU region to other regions, it would be much easier for companies to start working with them quickly. In the initial days, we had to sign a lot of contracts because when we started working with them, we had to provide some sample data, and they had to sign a lot of DPA (Data Processing Agreements) between both companies and the legal team. It was a back-and-forth conversation, editing that legal agreement, and putting it in place between both companies. We had a few issues in getting the single agreement signed in the initial days. But apart from that, no issues. It’s pretty much company-focused decision to choose a solution. If you don’t have any solution for CMDB, I think it’s good to go with Axonius because they have good integration. They support a lot of different tools. Within their platform, you have a separate section per adapter where they’ve mentioned probably 600 to 700 IT solutions that they can integrate and work with. You can also check within the description what kind of use cases you can get from that integration. For example, if you have some kind of vulnerability management solution or MECM or a BitLocker administration tool, Axonius will give you information on what kind of data it will pull from the individual sources. You can create reports, check BitLocker statuses, and see what kind of encryption has been applied and how it is maintained. It will give you those use cases as well, showing what you can get out of that particular integration between Axonius and whatever solution you are looking for. You can list down all the solutions you use internally within your company and then check the Axonius portal or website to see what use cases you can integrate with the platform. You can at least get an idea before you even try to speak with the Axonius team and start working with them yourself to see the benefits of utilizing the platform. We don't use it to the fullest. We just use it for a few pieces because we have other solutions for that. But they have a lot of different features within the platform. We are not actually replacing everything. We just use a few bits and pieces, like enforcement center actions, CMDB, and a few other features within the platform.
I use the tool's SaaS version. As an IT operations professional, you should know what you're doing before using this tool. It's not an end-user tool; it's meant for IT engineering, operations management, or developers. It depends on what you're trying to accomplish. So, I would advise understanding your goals clearly before integrating this tool into your operations. Ensure you label and use tags appropriately. Tagging can get out of hand, so everyone must agree on the tagging system. This approach will help you scope your reports and policies effectively. I rate the overall product an eight out of ten.

I would advise the new users that Axonius is an asset management tool. If you have a lot of assets that are not registered or have not been assigned, then Axonius is one of the tools you could use to tag your assets individually. Axonius makes your entire life easier when you want to know where each asset is. We have a policy in place regarding the usage of AI. We have yet to figure out the security measures for how our data will be fed into Axonius and how it will be used to train the model; hence, we will not be using AI for now. Another piece of advice is that the reporting feature is brilliant. You'll have one of the best reports if you know how to get what you want from the query tools. Overall, I would rate the solution a nine out of ten.
