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…
Abdullah Al Hadi - PeerSpot reviewer
Customization capabilities allow clients to autonomously deploy policies
There are a few areas where Trellix Endpoint Security can improve. Firstly, the high CPU utilization when agents are installed can negatively impact client systems. Another issue is with end-users outside the network, where the agent handler sometimes fails to deploy the product properly. Improvements are needed in forensic analytics to detect specific vulnerabilities. It would also help if detection specifics were identified more quickly and the problem-solving process accelerated, especially to meet larger clients' expectations.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Tanium has made the process of detecting threats more proactive with its detection. So, the process is easier and more efficient."
"The interrogation piece was the most valuable feature because it was very detailed."
"I would say Tanium is the best tool for vulnerability management."
"I like the tool's incident response and security patching."
"Tanium's most valuable features are patch management, inventory, and distribution software."
"The most valuable features of this solution are the consolidation of all historical data on device endpoints, security drivers, firmware, and Software version gaps."
"Threat hunting is a very good feature on Tanium. We have just started using it and have not used it extensively."
"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."
"Provides good mobile device protection."
"The product’s stability and security features enhance user protection and organizational security."
"The installation phase of the solution was very easy."
"This product has the capability to check a wide range of vulnerabilities and devices."
"The product is fairly reliable."
"I like trap prevention DNS and threat prevention."
"I recommend Trellix Endpoint Security to others as it seems like one of the industry standards and is fairly stable."
"The most valuable feature is the centralized console where everything can be controlled by the administration."
 

Cons

"Tanium's limitations should be improved because although it is a great tool, it is limited to only a few classes during a session."
"There are some bugs in the product. The tool needs to improve in the area of reporting."
"We had some issues with the solution's OS upgrade."
"They could improve the UI."
"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."
"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 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."
"Intrusion detection and intervention seem to be falling behind the competition."
"The initial setup is complex. It is a very complex product. You must have experience with it."
"MVISION Endpoint is only compatible with Windows 10 and Windows 2016 and above. If I were using a Linux operating system, I would not be able to use MVISION Endpoint."

"I would like to see simple processing and reporting online."
"Although they have increased the complexity, it has affected the scanning speed."
"The DAC (Dynamic Application Containment) component of this product needs improvement."
"We don't like the solution since it requires much memory consumption and consumes much CPU resources."
