Alexander Zhuravel - PeerSpot reviewer
A highly scalable tool that ensures its users face no problems while using it as a backup system
The tool is scalable and is currently being used on over 2,000 nodes. So, our company doesn't count the number of clients we have, but we do count the number of nodes, specifically referring to file system nodes, backup nodes, database nodes, virtual machine nodes, and blockchain nodes, which we use for file-based applications. According to the traffic, a backup of five petabytes of data can be done for a month.

Pros

"The backup speed and deduplication are the most valuable features."
"The security engine is effective at catching potential threats."
"There's a really they have a really nice way to test it first. Before you adopt it. And so I would suggest trying to they they create a test site for you, and they give you a link to it, and you can basically try out all the features on your own for I think we did it for a month."
"Dell Data Protection has a decent service and integrates well with users' active directories."
"The most valuable features of the solution are its speed, backup speed, and restore speed."
"It is a stable solution."
"It is a stable solution. Our company faces no problems with the backup system…The initial setup wasn't complex."
"When I push a quick update, it's done right away, and I can rescan immediately to confirm completion within minutes."
"I find the inventory and compliance features of Tanium to be the most impressive."
"Tanium is a very good product and I would rate it eight or nine out of ten."
"The product is granular and can build complex roles compared to other EDR vendors."
"Tanium has made the process of detecting threats more proactive with its detection. So, the process is easier and more efficient."
"I like the fact that you can create patching campaigns depending on the area of your network that you want to address first. I like the ability it has to make several campaigns that work in parallel."
"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."
"I would say Tanium is the best tool for vulnerability management."

Cons

"The solution could be more user-friendly."
"The solution’s user interface should be made more user-friendly."
"Whenever we talk about reporting, I have a chance to look at the reporting, and in my opinion, it's not user-friendly."
"Implementation in a beta environment is necessary before rollout to the larger community."
"I consider the product pretty expensive, so from an improvement perspective, I would like the pricing to be better."
"The backup speed and deduplication are the most valuable features."
"I would like to have more integrations and custom plugins to input. Integration is always a big deal in a lot of different environments."
"The most painful thing is the interface. It's a bit unclear sometimes."
"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."
"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."
"We had some issues with the solution's OS upgrade."
"Tanium's limitations should be improved because although it is a great tool, it is limited to only a few classes during a session."
"The solution lacks mobility."
"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."
