Tanium Valuable Features

It's a little difficult, however, I get results immediately once I start patching something. When I push a quick update, it's done right away, and I can rescan immediately to confirm completion within minutes. This is a pro because most patching tools take a while to reflect changes, but Tanium updates quickly.

I find the inventory and compliance features of Tanium to be the most impressive. They are very effective for endpoint security, and the solution is scalable and easy to install without any problems. View full review »

Tanium provides a comprehensive suite for managing devices, not just patching. The dashboard and backend services offered by Tanium are excellent. However, in our specific environment, we couldn't fully utilize these features due to security constraints. View full review »

The product is granular and can build complex roles compared to other EDR vendors.

Tanium's most valuable feature is its instant discovery aspect. You can have a look and see the processes running on the machine when looking for specific indicators. We use the solution within the threat-hunting and vulnerability-management space.

The most valuable features of this solution are the consolidation of all historical data on device endpoints, security drivers, firmware, and Software version gaps. 

Things that are sometimes overlooked within an IT support, operational, and security model framework, and all of that being consolidated into a multi-view and multi-windows dashboard.

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 is easy to use as well.

The interrogation piece was the most valuable feature because it was very detailed.

Threat hunting is a very good feature on Tanium. We have just started using it and have not used it extensively.

The inventory aspect of the solution has been the product's most valuable aspect for us so far.

The scalability is very good overall.

It's a really good tool. 

For inventory purposes, it's from one of the best things on the scene, as you can get live inventory. 

I like the architecture for a vulnerability scan, for example, as it doesn't put a whole lot of load on the asset. It basically queries. This is not a hub-and-spoke. It's more like a circling of the wagons that all the other assets in the circle or in that particular chain can report on things, that have not logged into Tanium, can report on each other, can grab near real-time data. For incident response tasks, all these tasks can get done in minutes with minimal disruption to the end-user.

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.

Tanium's most valuable features are patch management, inventory, and distribution software.

The upgrades in Tanium are easy because it is in the cloud. The upgrades are embedded in the solution, they do the upgrades. When the customer does not use the application and it's no problem. When using other solutions you need to do the upgrades through a technical team, that can apply the upgrades when agreed with the customer.

Being able to go as granular while looking at our network and users. Also, getting as much detailed information on analytics, which is good.
