Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"I definitely appreciate the flexibility and ease of use. We've been using UIM for almost three years now. It's pretty much point and click, very easy to use. And we've had no problems scaling it to our own environment.""What I like about DX Unified Infrastructure Management is that it's a very good product. The feature I found most valuable in the solution is the MCS feature, which is the automatic deployment of the objects you want to monitor. You can set up a system, for example, if it's a Windows machine and I want to test specific devices on it, I could do that through DX Unified Infrastructure Management. That type of deployment is very good because it means you won't miss any monitoring aspect on any server.""You can integrate clouds, hybrid infrastructure, and on-premise infrastructure into one product.""The real value is our being able to pull all the historic data that we need in order to gather every little metric and nuanced piece of information from a given device, a given piece of infrastructure, in order for us to generate alerts.""Great customized dashboards and drill down reports with auto serve analytics.""One of the things that I like about DX Infrastructure is that the topology is good enough to see what is happening in the infrastructure. You also get alerts if something is happening in the network. There are many features and benefits. It is serving our customers in knowing exactly how their network is performing in terms of reliability. It also helps them in planning the capacity. They know how much bandwidth the branches are consuming.""Scalability and flexibility. The product can grow with your infrastructure so you don't have to install other products. Just add components. It's very simple.""It reduced cycles for a lot of quick out-of-the-box functionality. It also allowed us to get away from being stuck in SNMP, VTP V2, based off of agent deployment."

"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.""The product is granular and can build complex roles compared to other EDR vendors.""For incident response tasks, all these tasks can get done in minutes with minimal disruption to the end-user.""The security features are very valuable.""Tanium's most valuable feature is its instant discovery aspect.""Tanium's most valuable features are patch management, inventory, and distribution software.""Threat hunting is a very good feature on Tanium. We have just started using it and have not used it extensively.""Tanium has made the process of detecting threats more proactive with its detection. So, the process is easier and more efficient."

Cons
"It is a little complex to use versus other softwares.""Stability.""In the UMP, certain devices will show up multiple times and they don't correlate correctly. That's one of the issues.""Reporting capability can be improved especially when it comes to availability.""We had to do some work to make what was more of a business class solution work at an enterprise level.""I think it can be improved by a greater provision of specialized technical support, as there are very few trained personnel there.""Currently lacks a mobile application which would be helpful.""They need to continue to advance the filter capabilities, and provide more input fields."

More DX Unified Infrastructure Management Cons →

"Tanium’s scalability could be improved.""The solution lacks mobility.""The performance could improve in future releases. We have had performance issues in specialized web environments, but overall I think the problems are less than 2% of the computer systems being used.""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.""They could improve the UI.""I would like to have more integrations and custom plugins to input. Integration is always a big deal in a lot of different environments.""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."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "This product is expensive compared to other vendors (SolarWinds, ManageEngine)."
  • "The product-price ratio is better than other brands such as Fortinet or SonicWall."
  • "The license cost depends on the number of probes and robots."
  • "Reasonable setup cost and licensing prices."
  • "CAD $400,000 annually."
  • "Customers pay for the license and the support."
  • "Pricing for DX Unified Infrastructure Management isn't cheap at all. It's a complex tool, so you have to pay more. No one is happy with a large bill to pay, but if it's a complex product and you designed a complex solution to be monitored, it'll be your fault that you need to buy an expensive product, and that would be implicit in the design of DX Unified Infrastructure Management. Monitoring is just a small part of it. Sometimes you have to pay a significant amount of money for a complex yet very good solution."
  • More DX Unified Infrastructure Management Pricing and Cost Advice →

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

  • "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."
  • "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."
