    Armis
    We started an entirely new network segregation implementation for security policies. Armis was unparalleled at helping us find rogue static IP-assigned devices in our old network and helped us identify what they were so we could tackle the challenge of moving everything to the new network VLANs. Another use case is finding a specific device or a specific user account to track their activity. The layout is phenomenal, and the data is easy to understand and drill down into for further information. The new AVM (Asset Vulnerability Management) section is awesome to help us find the out-of-date devices or other risks on the network to figure out where we are most vulnerable and at risk. If you're looking for a way to have Armis auto patch vulnerabilities - that's only on the radar from what I've heard - but currently, it is an amazing tool for finding and detailing the CVEs and other risks. You can create policies to block specific risky behaviors, but currently, at the time of writing, there isn't any automated patching or remediation to known CVEs found on a device.

    We have used AWS IoT Device Defender to safeguard our client's IoT senors placed in a manufacturing unit for implementing Industry 4.0 solutions. Its machine learning and automation capabilities have ensured that we get alerts whenever something abnormal or spike in a particular metric is detected which lets us sleep at night. Didn't find any scenario where it is less suited.

    Cons
    Armis
    • I've requested integration with Mosyle Manager for our Apple MDM products - it is on the radar but slow going - Mosyle has an API and a free 30-day trial, so implementation shouldn't be difficult - but honestly, other than that - Armis support has been astonishing, and there are so many integrations already - it's small potatoes.
    • Considering Armis has all the data collected and parsed - it would be nice to see a back-end system for those of us who are true nerds and want to really dig into the Syslog data and analyze packets directly - however, building some quick queries is probably easier if you know what you are looking for anyway - which is probably why this is a backward way of my own thinking and no fault of Armis at all. They make the interface so easy to use it's not necessary, but it hurts my inner geek.

    Alternatives Considered
    Armis
    Armis is kind of a total conglomeration of a ton of different tools/systems, and depending on how you want to set it up can do almost anything a lot of these other tools can do - and in some cases, even better. It doesn't do software deployment or other things like SCCM I have listed, but the reporting side is so much better than SCCM's interface. As far as data breaches, user/device activity tracking, vulnerability outlook, network scanning, device identification, and agentless miracles of magic - Armis is the king.

    Return on Investment
    Armis
    • Armis helped with multiple projects saving incalculable time since we've gotten it
    • Network analysis is a breeze
    • Device traffic reports and alerts is one click easy peasy
    • Blocking devices or specific traffic is super easy and helpful - if you have the right integrations for those options

    • It's ML part which is already trained and on the top of that we can add our own model to define device behaviors to monitor traffic and set the upmost security.
