Offers contextual prioritization and risk-based remediation of vulnerability

An improvement would be some sort of an integration with any GRC suite. There are a lot of GRC suites available, like Archer, MetricStream, Rsam, Protiviti, for example. So how would a solution like this work if my company has already invested thousands or maybe millions in a GRC solution? Do I still need it and how does it fit into an existing SAP environment? There could be interoperability, having more data sources, integrating Splunk, Qualys, FireEye, Rapid7, Carbon Black. I'm sure all that can be done to an extent, with a little more insight and a little more accuracy on the industry numbers and trends. I'd like the solution to offer any sort of assistance in any way with the remediation part, not just identification of vulnerability risk, and that is second.

Is able to make several campaigns work in parallel, but the user interface needs improvement

It's mainly used by the cybersecurity team for Windows patching and deployment of some software solutions 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…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The risk context of any vulnerability is a valuable feature."

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

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

"Tanium’s linear-chain architecture is valuable."

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

"For incident response tasks, all these tasks can get done in minutes with minimal disruption to the end-user."

Cons

"An improvement would be some sort of an integration with any GRC suite."

"The most painful thing is the interface. It's a bit unclear sometimes."

"They could improve the UI."

"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."

"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."

"Any movement into a SaaS solution has challenges since the processes and data flows are not well defined. Hence, you need to build it at the same time."

"The solution needs to improve the reporting and tracking capabilities."

"The solution lacks mobility."

"I would like to have more integrations and custom plugins to input. Integration is always a big deal in a lot of different environments."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I think the pricing is based on the number of endpoints, so it's more subscription-based."

"It is higher than some competitors in the market."

"There is an annual license required to use this solution."

"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 is expensive but it's a good investment."

"The solution offers value for money."
