Armis vs JupiterOne: asset inventory facts side by side

SHORT ANSWER

Armis describes 4 of the five approaches on the pages we read and JupiterOne describes 2; they differ on CAASM aggregation, Agent-based inventory, CMDB-centred inventory and Exposure management. On collection, Armis works without new agents and JupiterOne works without new agents. Many estates run two of these approaches together, so the question is often which pair, not which one; we do not score either.

Fact	Armis Centrix	JupiterOne
Positioning	Armis calls Centrix a Cyber Exposure Management Platform. It builds an inventory of IT, OT, IoT and medical devices from agentless, passive discovery and adds modules for prioritization and remediation.	A cyber asset platform built on a security graph: more than 200 integrations feed assets and their relationships into a graph you can query in plain English or with a pre-built query library.

Can they work together?

Neither vendor's pages we read name the other as an integration. That does not mean they cannot work together; ask both vendors.

Choose Armis if

Your estate includes OT, IoT or medical devices that cannot take an agent
You want device discovery and exposure modules from one vendor that is now part of ServiceNow

Choose JupiterOne if

You want to ask relationship questions across assets, users and code
You need a published price before a sales call

Which limits should you check?

Armis

No price on armis.com; the only public figure is an AWS Marketplace minimum.
SaaS applications and identities are not described as asset classes on the pages we read.
Prioritization and remediation sit in separately named modules.

JupiterOne

OT and IoT devices are not listed among its asset classes.
Write-back actions into other systems are not documented, and no free tier or trial is mentioned.
