| Criterion | Axonius | JupiterOne | runZero |
|---|---|---|---|
| Overall score | 76No. 1 of 8 | 73No. 2 of 8 | 72No. 3 of 8 |
| Source coverage (22%) | 92 Top of selectionMore than 1,200 adapters, and the platform page lists devices, identities, SaaS, software, cloud, IoT and OT as covered asset types. | 74200+ integrations across security, IT, DevOps and HR tools; OT and IoT devices are not documented on the pages we reviewed. | 72Active scanning, passive discovery and integrations across IT, OT, IoT, cloud, mobile and remote assets; SaaS apps are not covered. |
| Correlation and deduplication (18%) | 90 Top of selectionReconciling what each connected tool reports into one record per asset is the core of the product. | 72A security graph maps relationships between assets; entity matching depends on the data each integration supplies. | 70Profiles each asset against nearly 1,000 attributes and merges integration data into that profile. |
| Data freshness (12%) | 78Data refreshes on each discovery cycle, so freshness depends on cycle frequency and on each source tool. | 66Updates arrive through integration syncs; sync frequency is not published on the pages we reviewed. | 80 Top of selectionRecurring scan tasks plus always-on passive discovery for fragile OT networks. |
| Query and reporting (12%) | 86Query Wizard plus a natural language interface across the whole asset footprint. | 88 Top of selectionGraph queries with a pre-built library and natural language questions, plus blast-radius views across relationships. | 68Inventory search and reporting, with AI-assisted reporting on the Platform plan. |
| Remediation and write-back (14%) | 82 Top of selectionEnforcement actions include creating, updating and removing assets in ServiceNow; ticket workflows themselves run in the ITSM tool. | 58Alerts and notifications are documented; write-back actions into other systems are not. | 48The ServiceNow integration enriches the CMDB; no enforcement workflow of its own is documented. |
| Deployment effort (12%) | 60Each adapter needs API access and credentials, so time to full coverage grows with the number of tools connected. | 68SaaS with API integrations; useful coverage depends on how many integrations a team configures. | 90 Top of selectionNo agents, credentials or appliances required, SaaS, on-premises and air-gapped options, and a free 21-day trial. |
| Price transparency (10%) | 15No price published. The site offers "Get Pricing" through sales. | 92 Top of selectionAnnual list prices published: $25,000, $50,000 and $100,000 tiers by data points. | 82Community Edition free for 100 or fewer assets; the Platform plan starts at $5,000. |

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.

Frequently asked questions
How many tools can I compare at once?
Between two and five. The default view shows the top three tools in our ranking; the selection is saved in the page address so it can be shared.
Where do the reasons under each score come from?
Each score has a one-line reason written from the vendor's public pages, reviewed in September 2026. The same reasons appear on the review pages and on the ranking.
Why do some tools show Not published?
We only show prices and facts that a vendor publishes. Where a detail is missing from the pages we reviewed, the table says so rather than estimating it.
