Axonius vs JupiterOne: asset inventory facts side by side

SHORT ANSWER

Axonius describes 3 of the five approaches on the pages we read and JupiterOne describes 2; they differ on CMDB-centred inventory and Exposure management. On collection, Axonius 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	Axonius	JupiterOne
Positioning	Axonius grew out of cyber asset attack surface management (CAASM) into a broader asset intelligence platform. Axonius describes the Axonius Asset Cloud: it connects to the tools a company already runs through adapters (its directory lists 1,306), correlates what each one reports into one record per asset, and acts on gaps through workflows and bi-directional integrations.	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.
Deployment	Hosted SaaS, or self-managed on-premises or in your own cloud. The hosted option runs on an AWS EC2 instance separated from other customers' environments.

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 Axonius if

You already run many security and IT tools and they disagree about what exists
You need SaaS apps and identities in the same inventory as devices, with workflows to close gaps

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?

Axonius

Coverage depends on the tools you connect: each adapter needs API access and credentials, and no agent or native network scanner of its own is described.
External (internet-facing) discovery is not described on the pages we read.
No free tier or trial is listed on the pages we read, and the AWS Marketplace listing prices 500 assets at $90,625 for 12 months.

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.

Questions people ask

Is Axonius or JupiterOne better?

Neither is scored on this site. Axonius describes 3 of five approaches and JupiterOne 2 on the pages we read, and they differ on 8 recorded facts. Which fits depends on where your assets live, whether you can install agents, your CMDB and your tools; the finder checks those.

Do Axonius and JupiterOne work with a CMDB?

Axonius: Matches. Enforcement actions create, update, and disable or remove assets in ServiceNow, and can create ServiceNow incidents. JupiterOne: Not in our sources.
