Offers reliability and helps with the virtualization part
The product integrates with our company's existing IT infrastructure, especially when it comes to MicroK8s and other on-premises servers. The tool also helps with the virtualization in the ecosystem of our company, where there are other tools from HPE. Performance and network optimization are some of the beneficial areas in terms of server management. Speaking about how the remote management ability of the product impacted our company's IT operations, I would say that my organization has dealt with areas like RDP, DDI, and DMC, depending on the requirements of our final customers. In my experience, the product has contributed four hours in terms of reliability and to ensure the uptime of our servers. When it comes to the day-to-day use of HPE System Management's interface, I would say that it connects with some of the best tools and Hyper-V console with the help of Microsoft. I recommended the solution to those who plan to use it. I rate the overall product an eight out of ten.

Endpoint monitoring has strengthened incident response and provides rapid isolation and forensics
Tanium provides an endpoint which is isolated from the network and environment. We can easily search its logs and history and connect remotely directly to that particular device which has been isolated from the network. We can search for the history and logs, including audit logs and event logs. The complete activity of the user or owner of the device is visible to us. We can see the artifacts of particular USB transfers internally for official use. We can not only connect remotely but also see the device status and how many failures have occurred within the network so far. We can see the IP address, how many times it has changed its IP address, and how many times it was connected to VPN or external VPN or internal VPN and what has been searched while on VPN. We can block the IOCs or IP addresses as well. We can block domains, hashes, SHA values, SHA-256, SHA-1, SHA-5 and MD5. Although I am not completely involved in the automation team, we do have that team and I have worked in some CERT recently. Tanium is more useful while we are in the CERT because most of the times when we are on high alert, Tanium does play a main role for that particular incident or any high case. Tanium is a simple tool and we can easily integrate it to many devices and it is a mandatory tool to secure an endpoint. It is mandatory to give any RDP connection and the tool should be present in the particular device. It is completely mandatory and it is in the policy as well.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The managing and monitoring are the solution's most valuable features, and they are something I find quite helpful in my work."

"I think it's stable and flexible, and it's secure too."
"I like the tool's incident response and security patching."
"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."
"For inventory purposes, it's from one of the best things on the scene, as you can get live inventory."
"Tanium is a simple tool and we can easily integrate it to many devices and it is a mandatory tool to secure an endpoint."

Cons

"The quality of service and support for this solution needs to be improved."
"I think that support integration could be improved."
"The product should increase the processing capacity and allow speedy deployment, as both of them are areas with certain shortcomings where improvements are required."
"The agents don't always connect and communicate very well with the server."
"Good system management is costly."
"The return on investment report is too difficult to understand."
"Our customers would like to see the price lowered."
"If the solution could provide better integration to make it easier to manage everything on different servers, that would be helpful. Whatever servers a company has, be it IBM, Dell, etc., if the System Management could be a platform that links all of them together, it would make management across different server types easier."
"The solution needs to improve the reporting and tracking capabilities."
"The solution can give a lot of false positives."
"Our biggest issue with the solution is its lack of mobility."

"The solution lacks mobility."
"They could improve the UI."
"I would like to have more integrations and custom plugins to input. Integration is always a big deal in a lot of different environments."
