Coverage and trust score (editorial assessment, 0-100). It measures how completely and reliably a tool can tell a security or IT team what assets exist, who owns them and what state they are in. It is not a measure of overall product quality: service management platforms and lifecycle tools score lower here because inventory accuracy is one part of what they do.
Why do teams look for Armis alternatives?
Three reasons come up in the documentation. Armis does not publish prices. SaaS apps and identities are not documented as asset classes. And some teams want inventory built from the tools they already run rather than from network traffic. Armis keeps real advantages: continuous passive discovery (freshness 88, first in our ranking) and dedicated OT, IoT and medical device modules.
Which Armis alternatives should you consider?
1. Axonius (76)
Choose it over Armis if you need devices, SaaS apps and identities correlated from many existing tools into one record.
Axonius documents six of seven asset classes in our grid, against four and a half for Armis. It does not watch network traffic itself, so its freshness score (78) is lower than Armis's (88).
2. runZero (72)
Choose it over Armis if you want agentless active and passive discovery with a free tier and a published starting price.
runZero covers IT, OT, IoT, cloud and mobile with no agents or credentials, and the Platform starts at $5,000. Dragos announced on 21 September 2026 that it has acquired runZero; runZero continues to serve existing customers.
3. Lansweeper (70)
Choose it over Armis if an IT team wants a network and OT inventory on published plans that feeds an existing service desk.
Passive detection runs by default and the free tier covers up to 100 assets.

Is Armis still the right choice for OT and medical devices?
For many hospitals and industrial sites, yes. None of the alternatives here documents a dedicated medical device module, and Armis leads on freshness. Several teams run Armis as a source and feed its data into an aggregation platform; Lansweeper, for example, lists Armis as an integration.
