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…

While being easy to manage and create reports, the tool also offers a good UI
I rate the ease of use and management of Panda Adaptive Defense 360 an eight on a scale of one to ten. The tool's ability to provide information about the vulnerability is the most impactful feature of the product that has an impact on our company's security posture. Speaking about scenarios where the solution effectively prevented the security breach, I would say that our company sees how the tool blocks when our customers accidentally click on some malware, after which it quarantines that file. My company makes a playbook with the SOAR tool that Panda Adaptive Defense 360 uses to block and isolate attacks. In our company's system, if there is a big event that occurs, then to block the endpoint, we use SOAR with Panda Adaptive Defense 360 to block and isolate attacks or threats. The solution's real-time monitoring has improved our company's ability to detect threats if we use it in our company with Panda SIEMFeeder. Only if in my company there is a need to do some research, prepare a report, or if we want to change the policy, so it is not very often that we use the visualization part of the tool in our company. The reporting and analytics part of the tool has helped with the decision-making in our company since we combine different kinds of logs and situations from different ingestion logs, and we can configure a specific alert. In my company, we use the tool's data search functionality if required to check the information we need. Presently, our company uses the configuration alert and SIEMFeeder in our system. I rate the tool a nine out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The product is granular and can build complex roles compared to other EDR vendors."
"I like the tool's incident response and security patching."
"I find the inventory and compliance features of Tanium to be the most impressive."
"The security features are very valuable."
"The most valuable features of this solution are the consolidation of all historical data on device endpoints, security drivers, firmware, and Software version gaps."
"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."
"Threat hunting is a very good feature on Tanium. We have just started using it and have not used it extensively."
"Panda Security solution has a feature to block any unknown process and that is what is best about it."
"The most valuable features of the solution stem from the fact that I like the tool's UI, ease of management, ease of making reports, and the ability to export information easily."
"The product so far has been good at protecting us. We haven't faced a breach."
"It offers an easy initial setup."
"Great technical support staff."
"I like the Panda Security Adaptive Defense cloud usages. Everything is on a single plane of glass like the dashboards. I also like the information I can get about the computers itself."
"The detection capabilities for malicious activities are effective."
"The protection from malware is the most important feature. It has some endpoint information about the vehicle of the virus, malware, etc. It is also stable and easy to install, and they also provide good technical support."
 

Cons

"The solution needs to improve the reporting and tracking capabilities."
"The most painful thing is the interface. It's a bit unclear sometimes."
"The reporting could be improved."
"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."
"The solution lacks mobility."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"For some urgent updates, I don't like the need for the tool to be frequently restarted."
"The implementation was difficult."
"I'd like to integrate it into my main services."
"Panda Adaptive Defense 360 is not compatible with certain network devices like access points, switches, or routers, which would be an area for improvement."
"Panda Security Adaptive Defense’s stability could be improved."
"Panda Security Adaptive Defense can improve by including the intrusion and prevention system not only on their most expensive platform. Additionally, it blocks software that is legitimate from users. They complain and then we have to manually unblock the software, by hash, or we receive a message. Some of the prevention features are not available and this might cause us to need a separate firewall or something to protect the company."
"The stability could be improved. My teammates who use Panda Security and I have experienced some issues."
"They could have more reports."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is higher than some competitors in the market."
"The solution is expensive but it's a good investment."
"The product's pricing differs from region to region depending on negotiations and the number of endpoints."
"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."
"There is an annual license required to use this solution."
"The licensing is subscription-based and priced well compared to other endpoint security solutions."
"The price of this solution depends on the number of licenses that you are purchasing."
"The solution's pricing is better compared to other products."
"Our licensing fee is 1M Euro per month, so it is about 80 Euro's per user."
"The solution is priced well for what features it provides."
"The price is excellent."
"The licensing costs are not too high. We pay about 20 Euros a year. It's a reasonable amount to pay."
"Panda is cloud-only and comes at a reasonable cost. It is a set price per seat."
