Για τη συντήρηση προϊόντων, το Kaseya IT Center τοποθετεί τα νέα αρχεία στο αποθετήριο και αυτά αντιγράφονται με διακομιστές, επομένως όταν εκτελούμε μια εντολή στην εταιρεία μας, αυτή διέρχεται από τους διακομιστές. Μερικές φορές, υπάρχουν ορισμένες περιοχές που οφείλονται σε αλλοιώσεις του προϊόντος, αλλά δεν πειράζει, καθώς το Kaseya IT Center διορθώνει το πρόβλημα γρήγορα. Στο παρελθόν, είχαμε κάποια μεγάλα προβλήματα με τους διακομιστές του προϊόντος να είναι εκτός λειτουργίας για περίπου τρεις εβδομάδες λόγω κάποιας επίθεσης ransomware που έλαβε χώρα σε παγκόσμιο επίπεδο. Όχι μόνο η εταιρεία μας, αλλά όλοι στον κόσμο που χρησιμοποιούσαν το προϊόν επηρεάστηκαν από αυτήν. Το προϊόν έχει βελτιώσει το επίπεδο ασφαλείας του και προς το παρόν η εταιρεία μας δεν αντιμετωπίζει κανένα πρόβλημα με τη λύση. Συνιστώ το προϊόν σε άλλους που σκοπεύουν να το χρησιμοποιήσουν, καθώς είναι ένα ωραίο προϊόν που σας επιτρέπει να κάνετε εύκολα τη δουλειά σας, ενώ παράλληλα σας επιτρέπει να αναλάβετε το κομμάτι της αντιμετώπισης προβλημάτων. Βαθμολογώ το συνολικό εργαλείο με οκτώ στα δέκα.

Endpoint monitoring has strengthened incident response and provides rapid isolation and forensics
Tanium provides an endpoint which is isolated from the network and environment. We can easily search its logs and history and connect remotely directly to that particular device which has been isolated from the network. We can search for the history and logs, including audit logs and event logs. The complete activity of the user or owner of the device is visible to us. We can see the artifacts of particular USB transfers internally for official use. We can not only connect remotely but also see the device status and how many failures have occurred within the network so far. We can see the IP address, how many times it has changed its IP address, and how many times it was connected to VPN or external VPN or internal VPN and what has been searched while on VPN. We can block the IOCs or IP addresses as well. We can block domains, hashes, SHA values, SHA-256, SHA-1, SHA-5 and MD5. Although I am not completely involved in the automation team, we do have that team and I have worked in some CERT recently. Tanium is more useful while we are in the CERT because most of the times when we are on high alert, Tanium does play a main role for that particular incident or any high case. Tanium is a simple tool and we can easily integrate it to many devices and it is a mandatory tool to secure an endpoint. It is mandatory to give any RDP connection and the tool should be present in the particular device. It is completely mandatory and it is in the policy as well.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Kaseya IT Center is a platform that is growing all the time and expanding with more scripts and new capabilities, and it is useful and very easy to learn."
"It is a product that is very easy to learn."
"The solution's technical support is good."
"Kaseya's Synthetic Backup functionality impressed me."
"The security features are very valuable."
"I would say Tanium is the best tool for vulnerability management."
"The most valuable features of this solution are the consolidation of all historical data on device endpoints, security drivers, firmware, and Software version gaps."
"Tanium’s best features include support for any Windows, Linux, or Mac endpoint, regardless of where it is, and the ability to do IT operations and security operations."
"The interrogation piece was the most valuable feature because it was very detailed."
"The solution's technical support is very responsive."
"The product is granular and can build complex roles compared to other EDR vendors."
"Tanium is used for endpoint management, specifically patching and configuration management."
 

Cons

"In Kaseya, agents are shown as offline at times, and it is an area that is being improved."
"At times, there is degradation in performance."
"Agent communications with the server often fails if Internet access is slow."
"The solution needs to improve the reporting and tracking capabilities."
"There are some bugs in the product. The tool needs to improve in the area of reporting."
"In my opinion, sometimes it takes a long time to give solutions or resolve the issue."
"Tanium required local admin or root rights on Mac devices, which did not comply with our security policies. This made the solution less suitable for our restrictive environment."
"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."
"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."
"The problem or challenge is a pre-sales and go-to strategy for the SMB market delivered through a channel or model. It's very convoluted and vague, which leads to some confusion about the various types of modules, and the device-to-seat cost is extremely difficult to calculate."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I rate the product's price a six on a scale of one to ten, where one is expensive, and ten is cheap."
"The product's pricing differs from region to region depending on negotiations and the number of endpoints."
"It is higher than some competitors in the market."
"Tanium is a more expensive solution in Latin America than some of the competitors, such as BigFix."
"It's an expensive solution. It would be nice if the cost were lower."
"The solution offers value for money."
"The solution is expensive but it's a good investment."
"There is an annual license required to use this solution."
