What do you like best about Tanium Platform?

It’s end point protection against known APTs and assuring end devices are complaint with required aspects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Tanium Platform?

We’ve moved to a model where now end devices have multiple programs and processes that are duplicative and when looking for performance, that becomes a detriment. Tanium has some great capabilities, but it overlaps some other products. The “corporate” model my “company” network uses has been very redundant in nature, and has resulted in conflicts with other software and 100% disk and cpu utilization at boot up. The result has been serious decline in user experience and a “get a coffee” at start-up syndrome. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Tanium Platform:

Solves many problems, but deconfliction required Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Tanium Platform solving and how is that benefiting you?

It’s automation removes some touch maintanance and makes software management and has capabilities if fully employed, and if capable of removing other repeats, it would likely be an outstanding product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
