Is able to make several campaigns work in parallel, but the user interface needs improvement
It's mainly used by the cybersecurity team for Windows patching and deployment of some software solutions 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…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It speeds up the process, so I can meet my deadlines."
"The most important feature we've found is the Enscripts. That is one powerful feature that I, personally, love to use."
"The technical support is excellent."
"I like the processing feature on the product because it does everything at once, i.e, indexing, recovery, keyword searches, etc."
"Data Recovery: Its ability to repair damaged partitions and uncover hidden partitions from within the tool, and allow further analysis."
"It indexes much faster, and is more reflexive because of the Enscripts."
"The solution is very stable."
"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."
"I would say Tanium is the best tool for vulnerability management."
"Threat hunting is a very good feature on Tanium. We have just started using it and have not used it extensively."
"Tanium’s linear-chain architecture is valuable."
"Tanium's most valuable features are patch management, inventory, and distribution software."
"I like the tool's incident response and security patching."
"The interrogation piece was the most valuable feature because it was very detailed."
 

Cons

"We have come across problems with the end-case. We could not find an email discovery type of module and there was not flexibility with the email."
"​Sometimes the application can take more time to complete the image processing or fail at the end of the process.​"
"The reporting is a bit unreliable. It needs to be better."
"In the past, incident response time for tech support was slow."
"I would like to see a capability to ingest and absorb more data. That would be really good. It currently is lacking this function."
"Ease of use and learning curve need improvement."
"There were minor UI bugs."
"The reporting could be improved."
"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."
"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."
"Tanium’s scalability could be improved."
"The solution lacks mobility."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"​The product is affordable and user-friendly.​"
"EnCase is an affordable solution."
"We have a license. And, we found the cost high. We contacted them and talked to them about the ratio of the US dollar versus the Indian rupee and then we came to a solution."
