Find out in this report how the two Server Monitoring solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager is valuable in keeping our systems updated. We are able to send updates to all the systems. Additionally, the Intune integration is helpful."
"The product is useful for patch management."
"It is a very well-rounded product. It is a complete package with all the features using which we are able to manage our PCs very efficiently."
"Technical support is very helpful and very responsive."
"The solution is highly scalable."
"We have found the scalability to be quite good."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is its ability to deploy patches to nearly all applications."
"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager is the availability of being able to manage the Microsoft estate. It handles many areas, such as asset management and tracking."
"I would say Tanium is the best tool for vulnerability management."
"The security features are very valuable."
"Tanium’s linear-chain architecture is valuable."
"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."
"Threat hunting is a very good feature on Tanium. We have just started using it and have not used it extensively."
"The solution is scalable and helps to understand how infrastructure works. It helps to improve the health of the organization."
"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."
"Tanium's most valuable features are patch management, inventory, and distribution software."
"It needs to be able to load faster during deployment."
"The TSM component could be improved."
"Based on my experience with SCCM 2016, the main, big issue is not having a good user-friendly environment. It needs much better GUI."
"Our company would prefer not rebooting computers while people are using them. There seems to be no strategy behind it."
"It would be nice to have everything in one place. Now they have Intune for the desktops and SCCM to handle their servers."
"The setup was complex and I faced a lot of problems initially because I was new to the solution."
"The downside of Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager is it's an on-premise-based solution. With the pandemic coming on board the need to support users across the globe has increased. For a while, we would use the in-built Microsoft Teams screen sharing feature but the disadvantage of that is you cannot perform privileged access. Microsoft does not give you access to that. That's where you need cloud-based tools, such as BeyondTrust or Freshservice."
"Marketing: Our management doesn't understand that there is a piece of software which helps them automate and manage the entire network, as far as operating systems on computers."
"We had some issues with the solution's OS upgrade."
"The most painful thing is the interface. It's a bit unclear sometimes."
"Tanium’s scalability could be improved."
"The solution can give a lot of false positives."
"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."
"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 solution lacks mobility."
"They could improve the UI."
