Stable product with an ability to build complex roles
We use Tanium as an EDR solution for managing end-user devices and servers The product is granular and can build complex roles compared to other EDR vendors. Tanium's dashboard UI could be similar to CrowdStrike. We have been using Tanium for two and a half years. The product is stable. I rate…
Abdullah Al Hadi - PeerSpot reviewer
Customization capabilities allow clients to autonomously deploy policies
There are a few areas where Trellix Endpoint Security can improve. Firstly, the high CPU utilization when agents are installed can negatively impact client systems. Another issue is with end-users outside the network, where the agent handler sometimes fails to deploy the product properly. Improvements are needed in forensic analytics to detect specific vulnerabilities. It would also help if detection specifics were identified more quickly and the problem-solving process accelerated, especially to meet larger clients' expectations.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution is scalable and helps to understand how infrastructure works. It helps to improve the health of the organization."
"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's most valuable features are patch management, inventory, and distribution software."
"The security features are very valuable."
"Tanium has made the process of detecting threats more proactive with its detection. So, the process is easier and more efficient."
"Tanium is a very good product and I would rate it eight or nine out of ten."
"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."
"Their malware detection rate is excellent for all type of devices and the anti-theft products are good and easy to use."
"I recommend Trellix Endpoint Security to others as it seems like one of the industry standards and is fairly stable."
"The endpoint protection and disk encryption features are the most valuable."
"Would benefit with the addition of DLP features."
"The solution is stable."
"I have found the most valuable features to be the ability to manage the solution from anywhere and having an overview of the companies security."
"The solution is easy to manage, easy to implement, easy to install, and the support is excellent."
"Technical support is excellent."
 

Cons

"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."
"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."
"The solution needs to improve the reporting and tracking capabilities."
"The solution can give a lot of false positives."
"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."
"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 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 management console is a little bit difficult to understand for admins. You need a lot of time in order to become familiar with that. It is a little bit complicated and not too easy to understand. Its price can also be improved. Its price is higher than its competitors. McAfee also needs to have better cloud integration and more data centers in the EU. The cloud center should be in Europe or in Germany. In Germany, it is really important to have access to your data within the same country. Customer data needs to be placed and processed in the same country."
"We have a lot of problems with the user experience and it's difficult to implement. MacAfee's better than the ancient anti-virus solutions but it's a little slow to resolve. Many files with malware were destroyed through the network, and MacAfee doesn't detect anything."
"The solution should provide a more easy way to uninstall it on specific stations."
"The vendor should simplify the way they bundle the products because it's very hard to explain to customers what products contain which features."
"The user interface could be improved by making it more user-friendly. There are multiple solutions and there is no clear line differentiating all of them. There is a centralized console where we manage everything but most of the administrators feel a little confused when it comes to managing multiple products from a single place."
"Some agents become old and then they don't communicate well any longer."
"The DAC (Dynamic Application Containment) component of this product needs improvement."
"The complexity of advanced modules can be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution offers value for money."
"The product's pricing differs from region to region depending on negotiations and the number of endpoints."
"The solution is expensive but it's a good investment."
"It is higher than some competitors in the market."
"There is an annual license required to use this solution."
"Tanium is a more expensive solution in Latin America than some of the competitors, such as BigFix."
"It's an expensive solution. It would be nice if the cost were lower."
"When comparing the solution to others it is a bit expensive. We are on a monthly license."
"We pay for the license on an annual basis."
"The pricing is mid-ranged and quite reasonable compared to other similar products."
"Trellix Endpoint Security (ENS) is not a cheap solution...I don't think any costs are involved in the maintenance of the solution."
"The pricing is comparable to other solutions on the market."
"We pay 650 Rand for a license. It is a perpetual license which we normally run for two years."
"I am happy with the pricing."
"MVISION is intended as an enterprise product and it is priced like one. This solution is within the price range of competitors at the enterprise level."
