Armis vs Asimily
Breadth against depth, and the buyer profile decides it. Armis is the horizontal platform: IT, OT, IoT, IoMT, cloud, and code across many industries, with medical device security as one of five products, the widest coverage in the lane and the only vendor offering on premise, cloud, and hybrid deployment, backed by consecutive Gartner Magic Quadrant Leader placement. Asimily is the healthcare specialist: ranked first in the 2026 KLAS Healthcare IoT Security report at 96.6, with contextual vulnerability prioritisation and pre purchase device evaluation that most competitors do not offer. The trade Armis makes is healthcare specific depth for platform breadth, which independent Gartner Peer Insights commentary notes in observing that its OT and CPS protocol depth is not top tier. If your failure mode is a health system that also runs industrial plant and wants one platform across all of it, start with Armis. If your failure mode is the deepest clinical device intelligence with the top independent healthcare rating, start with Asimily.
- One platform across everything you run: IT, OT, IoT, IoMT, cloud, and code across healthcare, manufacturing, energy, and government, graded A on setting coverage, a genuine consolidation argument for a health system that also operates industrial plant and building management.
- The only deployment flexibility in the lane: on premise, cloud, and hybrid, graded A on deployment, where Asimily is cloud only, which matters for organisations with data sovereignty constraints.
- The strongest analyst position: named a Leader in the 2026 Gartner Magic Quadrant for CPS Protection Platforms for the second consecutive year among 13 vendors evaluated.
- The top independent healthcare rating: ranked first in the KLAS 2026 Healthcare IoT Security report at 96.6, buyer sourced research from actual health system users, where Armis holds Gartner CPS recognition but no healthcare KLAS ranking was located.
- Depth over breadth on clinical devices: contextual vulnerability prioritisation that evaluates each vulnerability against the specific device configuration and network environment, plus pre purchase device evaluation that moves risk assessment upstream of procurement.
- The integration that connects security to the people who fix devices: bidirectional CMMS linkage including MediMizer, graded A on interoperability, feeding security incidents into the biomedical engineering remediation workflow.

Both grade B on AI centrality, but for different reasons this index states plainly: Armis because medical device security is one of five products on a horizontal platform whose centre of gravity is cyber physical systems broadly, and Asimily because its substantive moat is a curated knowledge base of device profiles rather than the model alone. Armis grades C on model transparency for platform level language without a named detection methodology, where Asimily grades B. Neither publishes a security attestation such as SOC 2 Type II or ISO 27001, a pointed gap for security vendors and one shared by every vendor in this category. Armis has announced a planned acquisition by ServiceNow expected to complete in the second half of 2026; buyers signing multi year agreements should establish contractual continuity. Neither publishes pricing.
