Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The detection engine running on endpoints works very well and provides a good protection level."
"My impression of the stability of this solution is good. We have not had any issues with stability."
"We particularly appreciate how scalable this solution is, as we often need to increase our end-user numbers."
"Provides web and DNS protection over https."
"It is easy to manage."
"This solution is quite responsive and the tech support engineers are kind and good."
"The solution does a good job of filtering and blocking unusual traffic."
"I like the tool’s response to malware and trojans."
"I like the tool's incident response and security patching."
"When I push a quick update, it's done right away, and I can rescan immediately to confirm completion within minutes."
"The most valuable features of this solution are the consolidation of all historical data on device endpoints, security drivers, firmware, and Software version gaps."
"The security features are very valuable."
"Tanium’s linear-chain architecture is valuable."
"When I push a quick update, it's done right away, and I can rescan immediately to confirm completion within minutes."
"The interrogation piece was the most valuable feature because it was very detailed."
"I find the inventory and compliance features of Tanium to be the most impressive."
 

Cons

"They should include XDR features in the solution."
"Documentation needs to be simplified and improved so that it provides good product awareness for end users."
"We would like to have better strategic information."
"Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response is very heavy on the system resources. It uses a lot of memory and the system can become slow."
"The license prices for this solution are quite high."
"The solution could always be more secure."
"The installation process could be more streamlined."
"We'd like to see them improve the automatic response."
"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 reporting could be improved."
"When working with Tanium, there are some older devices that haven't been patched for a long time, and certain patches are not included in Tanium. I have to search outside to download patches, create bundles, and then perform the task."
"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 solution can give a lot of false positives."
"I would like to have more integrations and custom plugins to input. Integration is always a big deal in a lot of different environments."
"We had some issues with the solution's OS upgrade."
"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."
