Provides good stability and has an easy implementation process
It is a good tool for monitoring databases. It enhances the overall visibility within the database The older version of the product works with Flash technology. Although the latest version works with Java, it still requires Flash technology. It should utilize only a Java plugin to visualize your…

Stable product with an ability to build complex roles
We use Tanium as an EDR solution for managing end-user devices and servers The product is granular and can build complex roles compared to other EDR vendors. Tanium's dashboard UI could be similar to CrowdStrike. We have been using Tanium for two and a half years. The product is stable. I rate…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The tried and tested services that Oracle provides is second to none."
"This solution allows us to quickly drill down when there are issues."
"It can also help with capacity planning, sizing, and maximizing overall performance in a large scale environment."
"The most valuable feature is high availability."
"I like that it's stable."
"I think the look and feel and the accessibility to the databases, the scale of environment support."
"It allows me to manage resources effectively and monitor active sessions."
"I rate Oracle Enterprise Manager eight out of 10 for stability."
"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."
"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 find the inventory and compliance features of Tanium to be the most impressive."
"The security features are very valuable."
"The solution's technical support is very responsive."
"For incident response tasks, all these tasks can get done in minutes with minimal disruption to the end-user."
"Tanium is a very good product and I would rate it eight or nine out of ten."
 

Cons

"The tool is expensive."
"Improving the integration speed would be beneficial, as the current Java-based system can sometimes result in slow responses."
"The interface could be more friendly for basic users."
"When contacting My Oracle Support, I encounter first-line support initially, which is inadequate as I require more in-depth support."
"I would like to improve the cost."
"Oracle Enterprise Manager's scalability is an area with certain shortcomings where improvements are required."
"It is complicated to run it on Google Chrome."
"The solution is not as simple as people say it is."
"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."
"We had some issues with the solution's OS upgrade."
"When working with Tanium, there are some older devices that haven't been patched for a long time, and certain patches are not included in Tanium. I have to search outside to download patches, create bundles, and then perform the task."
"The solution lacks mobility."
"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."
"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."
"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 needs to improve the reporting and tracking capabilities."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Based upon 3 days of implementation by a single person, plus licensing costs would be approximately $60,000, including the virtualized hosts."
"We are satisfied with the pricing."
"The license is good but can be improved."
"The product is very expensive."
"The solution is free."
"The pricing is very high."
"As far as I know, you do not pay for Oracle Enterprise Manager separately. You can use Enterprise Manager for free if you already have an Oracle license for your database."
"The licensing is the responsibility of our customers."
"There is an annual license required to use this solution."
"The solution offers value for money."
"The product's pricing differs from region to region depending on negotiations and the number of endpoints."
"It's an expensive solution. It would be nice if the cost were lower."
"The solution is expensive but it's a good investment."
"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."
