Improved our IT efficiency and problem resolution capabilities but MDM integration needs improvement

A lot of it is the ability to tell me what the problem is, even if it's a hardware or software error. The diagnosis is really nice, and it's enough for my technician to arrive with the right parts to fix it the first time. We don't need that extra truck roll. The fact that it can tell us which part to take with us, the most likely part that we need to replace, is a huge benefit. From an internal IT perspective, the integrations are really easy. Most of them can be done by even a tier-one technician. It's very straightforward: you click where it tells you to click, you do what it tells you to do, and it works.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution's technical support is good."

"The stability is good. Our systems have been up for over two years without any stability issues."

"It is a product that is very easy to learn."

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

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

"The solution is scalable and helps to understand how infrastructure works. It helps to improve the health of the organization."

"I like the tool's incident response and security patching."

"I would say Tanium is the best tool for vulnerability management."

"When I push a quick update, it's done right away, and I can rescan immediately to confirm completion within minutes."

"The security features are very valuable."

More Tanium pros

Cons

"At times, there is degradation in performance."

"I would like to see MDM integration improved."

"In Kaseya, agents are shown as offline at times, and it is an area that is being improved."

"The solution can give a lot of false positives."

"Tanium’s scalability could be improved."

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

"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."

"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."

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

"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."

More Tanium cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I rate the product's price a six on a scale of one to ten, where one is expensive, and ten is cheap."

"Pricing is okay and negotiable."

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

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

"It's an expensive solution. It would be nice if the cost were lower."

"The product's pricing differs from region to region depending on negotiations and the number of endpoints."

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

"The solution offers value for money."

"Tanium is a more expensive solution in Latin America than some of the competitors, such as BigFix."
