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…

Good user behavioral analysis and helpful patching but needs better support services
Some of our products have a first and second line owned by us. We are giving support services to the customers instead of the vendor. Some other products are supported directly by the technology vendor, however. Technical support from the vendor is very bad. Usually, when the customer submits a ticket, they put a severity level on the case. Whenever the case is very important, and there is a real malfunction in the product on the customer side, and there is something down that needs someone to have a look immediately, it takes more time than it should to even engage with the customer. When someone has to contact the customer and have a remote session within the customer environment, they sometimes lack in terms of communication with the customer. The support centers are located in the East and not all have an acceptable level of English in order to communicate directly with the customer.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"For incident response tasks, all these tasks can get done in minutes with minimal disruption to the end-user."
"Tanium's most valuable features are patch management, inventory, and distribution software."
"Tanium's most valuable feature is its instant discovery aspect."
"I like the tool's incident response and security patching."
"Tanium’s linear-chain architecture is valuable."
"I would say Tanium is the best tool for vulnerability management."
"The product is granular and can build complex roles compared to other EDR vendors."
"The security features are very valuable."
"The DLP and user interface are the most valuable feature."
"The product helps us by contacting us if there are any virus attacks on our system."
"Initially, the DLP was very valuable for disabling access to USB drives."
"It provides a lot of information and great visibility, with really great options for managing the environment."
"We really like the dashboard from Trellix and we've found that it's pretty informative."
"It's easy to use and it's very powerful. It offers nice endpoint protection."
"The product is easy to use."
"The most valuable features are the adaptive tech on McAfee."
 

Cons

"The solution needs to improve the reporting and tracking capabilities."
"The solution lacks mobility."
"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."
"We had some issues with the solution's OS upgrade."
"I would like to have more integrations and custom plugins to input. Integration is always a big deal in a lot of different environments."
"The solution can give a lot of false positives."
"The reporting could be improved."
"They could improve the UI."
"Technical support from the vendor is very bad."
"Tech support is not as helpful as they were in the past."
"Sometimes, while installing the ePO, we were getting so many errors and I don't know why it happened."
"I think it would be nice if Dynamic Application Control would come together with McAfee Endpoint Security."
"The resolution time should be faster."
"The solution needs to offer better local technical support."
"Patch management is unavailable"
"Although they have increased the complexity, it has affected the scanning speed."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's an expensive solution. It would be nice if the cost were lower."
"The solution is expensive but it's a good investment."
"Tanium is a more expensive solution in Latin America than some of the competitors, such as BigFix."
"The solution offers value for money."
"There is an annual license required to use this solution."
"The product's pricing differs from region to region depending on negotiations and the number of endpoints."
"It is higher than some competitors in the market."
"Trellix may cost around $46 to $47 for a single license without an EDR."
"McAfee's prices are flexible and can be quite competitive, although there are other solutions that are even more so."
"Its price is reasonable, but it could be made free."
"The price of the solution is fair, we have a complete security package."
"The price of McAfee is pretty similar to Symantec, and there are no costs in addition to the standard licensing fees."
"Trellix Endpoint Security is neither a cheap nor an expensive solution."
"The initial price is very good as they give good initial discounts, but it seems a little expensive once you renew the license."
"The solution is not an expensive tool. Compared to other options, it's mostly average-priced. I've deployed it for customers ranging from 100 nodes to over 5,000 nodes. Its renewal prices are very low, and it offers both perpetual and subscription licenses. With a perpetual license, the product will keep working as long as it's not end-of-life, which benefits companies."
