Axonius vs Sevco: asset inventory facts side by side

SHORT ANSWER

Axonius describes 3 of the five approaches on the pages we read and Sevco describes 2; they differ on CMDB-centred inventory. On collection, Axonius works without new agents and Sevco 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	Sevco Security
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.	Sevco describes itself as an exposure management platform that centralizes vulnerabilities and security control gaps, prioritizes them, and automates and validates remediation, with an accurate asset inventory and asset intelligence as its foundation.
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 Sevco if

You want an asset inventory built from the tools you already run, with no new agents
You want remediation tracked until it is validated on the asset

Which limits should you check?

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.

Sevco

No price, trial, integration count or named integrations published on the pages we read.
Coverage of SaaS, identities, OT and external assets, query capabilities and data freshness are not described on the pages we read.
