The solution is limited to a few classes, but it helps discover CIs and assets

Tanium is primarily used for CMDV (Configuration management database) discovery. Tanium is meant to discover CIs and assets It's a good tool, but that's about it. It's like any other discovery tool. It's very detailed, and it will allow you to do hardware and software. I was using it in a very…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Ability to isolate the machine when there are malicious files."

"It is stable. We have been using it for some time, without any issues."

"We've contacted technical support several times. They've been very good. They have been able to help us resolve our issues."

"It's a scalable solution. We have around five to eight customers using RSA NetWitness Endpoint, and we hope to increase the number of users."

"The interface of this solution is very flexible and easy to use."

"It is very easy to use, and its usability is great. The use cases are also very easy. The visualizations of the use cases are magnificent. You cannot find this in any other solution. From my point of view, it is great."

"The log correlation is good."

"This solution allows us to locate the malware in real-time."

More NetWitness NDR pros

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

"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."

"I'm not so familiar with the tool but I like the interaction of the console to the picture. Patching is the primary model I have been focusing on for the last couple of weeks. So I have created a proof of concept environment and have been checking the available features."

"Tanium has made the process of detecting threats more proactive with its detection. So, the process is easier and more efficient."

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

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

"The security features are very valuable."

"Tanium's most valuable feature is its instant discovery aspect."

More Tanium pros

Cons

"The integration of the solution needs to be improved. The dashboard needs lots of updates as well. In the next release, we would like to see advanced fraud detection features."

"RSA NetWitness Network could improve on integration with non-native application integration."

"I would like to see Security Orchestration and Response Automation (SOAR) integration."

"The solution is modular, for example you can buy the RSA ePack, which you buy as a module is not part of the conduit solution. They could include it and have it as an all-in-one solution."

"Its price could be improved. It is an expensive product. Its training is also too expensive. It would be great if they can have a better pricing scheme for the training."

"When analyzing something, you have to click several times. It requires a lot of effort to find something."

"The initial setup requires a high level of skill."

"NetWitness Endpoint's blocking feature does not work properly - if there's a malicious process, it's not possible to kill it via a custom rule unless and until it's flagged as malicious."

More NetWitness NDR cons

"Tanium’s scalability could be improved."

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

"The solution lacks mobility."

"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."

"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."

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

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

"They could improve the UI."

More Tanium cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The cost depends on the number of endpoints that you want to monitor, but it is not expensive."

"They can easily adjust if you have the requirements which are required. If you have a budget cut or a budget constraint, they can bend."

"The pricing is not very economical. It is a quite costly product for India. One thing is that when you purchase it, you have to purchase a module separately."

"We are on a three-year contract to use RSA NetWitness Network."

"I do not have any opinion on the pricing or licensing of the product."

"With RSA, there is flexibility in choosing the service, products, and the range that meets your requirement, as well as they are flexible in terms of pricing."

"It is an expensive product."

"The price of the solution depends on the environment. If the environment is large then it will cost more. However, the larger the environment with more endpoints, you will receive an increased discount. If the environment is very small, then you might think it is expensive. It is always better to buy in bulk to receive a discount. The minimum number of assets is usually 500, with discounts on 1000 and 2000."

More NetWitness NDR pricing and cost advice

"The solution offers value for money."

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

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

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

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

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

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