Armis Review 2026: Agentless Asset Visibility for IT, OT and IoT

Best for OT, IoT and medical device visibility

Bottom line

Armis scores 69 out of 100. It is the freshest source of asset data in this ranking, because its agentless discovery captures network traffic continuously, and it is strongest on OT, IoT and medical devices. SaaS apps and identities are not documented as asset classes, and prices are not published.

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.

Where does Armis lead?

  • Data freshness (88, first). Agentless discovery captures network traffic continuously and does not touch production equipment, which matters on fragile OT networks.
  • OT, IoT and medical devices. Dedicated modules for each, covering managed and unmanaged devices.
  • Time to first inventory. Armis says most customers see a complete asset inventory within minutes to hours, with no on-premises hardware for the core cloud platform.

Where does Armis fall short?

  • Price transparency (15). No price is published.
  • SaaS apps and identities are not documented as asset classes on the pages we reviewed.

Is Armis the right pick?

Pick it if

  • OT, IoT or medical devices are a large share of the estate.
  • You want asset data from live network traffic rather than from other tools.
  • You cannot install agents on many devices.

Look elsewhere if

  • SaaS apps and identities need to be in the inventory (Axonius, JupiterOne).
  • You need a published price (runZero, Lansweeper, JupiterOne).

Ownership note: ServiceNow now owns Armis (completed 20 April 2026); Armis Centrix is still sold as a standalone product as well as part of the ServiceNow AI Platform.
