Cons

"The solution could be more user-friendly."

"Implementation in a beta environment is necessary before rollout to the larger community."

"The backup speed and deduplication are the most valuable features."

"The solution’s user interface should be made more user-friendly."

"Whenever we talk about reporting, I have a chance to look at the reporting, and in my opinion, it's not user-friendly."

"Tanium's limitations should be improved because although it is a great tool, it is limited to only a few classes during a session."

"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 lacks mobility."

"Tanium’s scalability could be improved."

"We had some issues with the solution's OS upgrade."

"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."
