Improves security and provides the flexibility to meet the needs of users for application installation

It keeps on breaking every now and then. It is not yet mature. Every time something new comes up or we run into some new issues, the culprit is BeyondTrust because the agents and the adapter are not mature. The new development process goes on, and they're not able to handle things. It should be mature. It shouldn't break every now and then. Their support members should be very proactive in responding and providing the resolution. Their support team takes a lot of time to resolve the issues. When it comes to whitelisting and implementing policy changes, if the application doesn't have the complete set of parameters based on which you whitelist an application or application is still under development and the versions keep on changing, that sometimes creates problems because you have to revisit the rules again and again. That could be simpler.

The solution is limited to a few classes, but it helps discover CIs and assets

Tanium is primarily used for CMDV (Configuration management database) discovery. Tanium is meant to discover CIs and assets It's a good tool, but that's about it. It's like any other discovery tool. It's very detailed, and it will allow you to do hardware and software. I was using it in a very…

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"The most valuable feature is the asset discovery, which makes it very easy to locate and identify assets and pull them into the manager."

"The solution's least privilege enforcement has helped us ensure access is given to only the required people."

"The privileged access management into sensitive systems is very valuable. That includes control from the endpoint all the way through to the managing of passwords and credentials that are used by the person to access the sensitive information. It's very useful, because nobody ever really maintains passwords for those endpoint systems. It's maintained in the Dropbox password file."

"I find the solution’s features like section management, password management, and analytics valuable."

"Technical support is good."

"The privileged access and the application control are helpful in making sure we have good, robust challenge responses. Blacklisting with trusted application protection is also beneficial for us."

"The features related to application elevate is amazing. It helped the company to remove almost all admin local users."

"BeyondTrust has very good integrations with quite a lot of security vendors such as SailPoint, IBM, FortiGuard, Splunk, etc."

More BeyondTrust Endpoint Privilege Management pros

"Threat hunting is a very good feature on Tanium. We have just started using it and have not used it extensively."

"The security features are very valuable."

"For incident response tasks, all these tasks can get done in minutes with minimal disruption to the end-user."

"Tanium's most valuable features are patch management, inventory, and distribution software."

"The product is granular and can build complex roles compared to other EDR vendors."

"The solution is scalable and helps to understand how infrastructure works. It helps to improve the health of the organization."

"I'm not so familiar with the tool but I like the interaction of the console to the picture. Patching is the primary model I have been focusing on for the last couple of weeks. So I have created a proof of concept environment and have been checking the available features."

"Tanium has made the process of detecting threats more proactive with its detection. So, the process is easier and more efficient."

More Tanium pros

Cons

"What's bothering me, which is true of all of them, is that sometimes, the error codes that come up don't necessarily get reflected in the searches within their support sites or they're out of date. I would rather search by an error code than type in the text and search for it by text because the error code means that it is programmatic, and it is known. It might not be desired, but it at least is not unexpected. If you don't have an error code, you just get an anomalous error, and if it is lengthy, it can be difficult to search and find the specific instance you're looking for. This is something I would like all of them to improve. BeyondTrust, CyberArk, Centrify, and Thycotic could do some improvements in staying up to date and actually allowing you to search based on the product version. They are assuming that everybody is on their way to release. They put out a new release, but it is not reflected on the support site, which makes no sense to me, especially when they revamp all the error codes. They all have been guilty of this in some way."

"They need to come up with better integrative options which should be customer-centric."

"The product should improve its price."

"Its feature for establishing workflows needs improvement."

"How the accounts are presented in the solution's UI can be improved."

"The help system should be improved to provide a quick help guide with each tab within the solution, which explains what each particular function does."

"The program updates are very rare and the frequency is too far apart to take care of bug fixes and adding the latest features."

"Reporting analytics is one of the areas that can be improved. It is a new cloud-based solution. So, many more specific reports can come out natively. Currently, we get all the events, and we put them in plug-ins. From there, we generate our own design of reports. If there is a much more solid or robust reporting analytics framework within the product itself, it would be helpful."

More BeyondTrust Endpoint Privilege Management cons

"The main issues are the network connection because different customers have issues with their networks. It's difficult implementing this type of solution because the network is the main feature in the architecture for these types of solutions. Tanium could improve by creating some network optimization."

"It is not really additional functions, or the features that are needed, rather the complexity would be reduced based on the number of modules required to put together a comprehensive operational security and risk compliance model."

"Tanium's limitations should be improved because although it is a great tool, it is limited to only a few classes during a session."

"We had some issues with the solution's OS upgrade."

"The solution needs to improve the reporting and tracking capabilities."

"Most of the time, agent-relative issues have to be more equipped with self-healing features. At times, the agent is there, but for some reason, it doesn't report a status. It gives certain problems that are obviously agent-based."

"The reporting could be improved."

"Any movement into a SaaS solution has challenges since the processes and data flows are not well defined. Hence, you need to build it at the same time."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It was very expensive."

"Price-wise, it is very competitive. In our area, government entities and banks don't go for the monthly payment. It is a headache even for us in terms of finance and procurement to go for monthly payments. Quarterly might be more logical and reasonable, but the minimum that we go for is one year, and sometimes, we even try to compile and give one offering for three years."

"Its pricing and licensing are okay. We were in the perpetual model when it was on-prem, and now, with the SaaS service, we have a subscription model. As a customer, I would always like to see a lower price, but it seems to be priced at the right model currently, and we are trying to get the maximum benefits out of it."

"On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the solution's pricing a seven out of ten."

"The solution's pricing is high."

"What BeyondTrust was providing was user-based licensing which was a great benefit from the client point of view. Recently, I don't know why, the licensing model has been changed, and that is the reason that they have lost a bit of their edge when it comes to the PAM, against our competition. The asset-based licensing, from the user's point of view, is not beneficial. The licensing should be based on the users. The greater the number of users, the greater will be the load and the greater the scalability problems. I presume that is why the licensing model has changed."

"I'm sure everyone should have the cluster environment, which means more expensive, anyway, cheaper than the other solutions."

"It is relatively more cost-effective compared to the competing product."

More BeyondTrust Endpoint Privilege Management pricing and cost advice

"The solution is expensive but it's a good investment."

"The product's pricing differs from region to region depending on negotiations and the number of endpoints."

"Tanium is a more expensive solution in Latin America than some of the competitors, such as BigFix."

"It is higher than some competitors in the market."

"The solution offers value for money."

"It's an expensive solution. It would be nice if the cost were lower."

"There is an annual license required to use this solution."
