Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The most valuable features of this solution are the consolidation of all historical data on device endpoints, security drivers, firmware, and Software version gaps.""The solution is scalable and helps to understand how infrastructure works. It helps to improve the health of the organization.""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.""Tanium's most valuable feature is its instant discovery aspect.""Tanium’s linear-chain architecture is valuable.""For incident response tasks, all these tasks can get done in minutes with minimal disruption to the end-user.""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."

"A new user can easily understand the workflow, even if they are creating users for other divisions and the user is a beginner.""The ease of use in terms of scanning assets is valuable.""The vulnerability management itself is the most valuable feature as well as references to the mitigation techniques.""The solution can integrate with third parties and meets standard compliance.""The interface is fine.""The solution is easy to use and configuration is smooth with no complexities.""I would rate Tenable's dashboards and reporting capabilities for illustrating security posture a nine out of ten, with ten being the best.""It is quite straightforward to set up."

Cons
"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 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.""Tanium’s scalability could be improved.""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 reporting could be improved.""We had some issues with the solution's OS upgrade.""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."

More Tanium Cons →

"Users get confused between VPR and CVSS ratings.""They need to have more dependable and faster support.""The solution must be promoted more in the market.""It can have more integration.""The solution’s pricing could be improved.""The shortcoming of the solution that needs improvement is related to its capability to do vulnerability assessments on applications.""The stability has room for improvement.""We'd like to see a bit more user-friendliness."
