Tanium Converged Endpoint Management and Security Real-Time Visibility **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Josiah K. | Security Engineer, Global Information Systems Security Practice, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** March 28, 2022 **What do you like best about Tanium?** Tanium is like a swiss army knife for endpoint and network management and security. **What do you dislike about Tanium?** Tanium can be expensive, but they are top notch and you can negotiate significant discounts. **What problems is Tanium solving and how is that benefiting you?** Patching automation and security visibility and reporting has come a long way with Tanium. We spend much less time now with Tanium TanOS operating system and system lifecycle - weekly updates. It's a breeze now. Tanium has come a long way from where it started. ### 3. Tanium Tool review **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Karthik P. | Access Management Engineer, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 18, 2022 **What do you like best about Tanium?** Tanium tool was well designed user friendly tool. Segregated module wise for Infrastructure needs. Very easy to schedule & install patches and also for agent installations/uninstallation. I recommend this tool for al the IT infrastructure **What do you dislike about Tanium?** Upgrades of Tool might get little confused using the UI **Recommendations to others considering Tanium:** I recommend this tool for mass activities. Like SOC security, reporting, trend analysis **What problems is Tanium solving and how is that benefiting you?** Using the tool we can implement bulk number of system software installation/uninstallation. We can schedule as per the downtime. Exporting server details report ### 4. Great product, but conflicts & repeated aspects have a bill **Rating:** 3.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Jason W. S. | Sr Cyber Plans Analyst, Military, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 21, 2018 **What do you like best about Tanium?** It’s end point protection against known APTs and assuring end devices are complaint with required aspects. **What do you dislike about Tanium?** 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. **Recommendations to others considering Tanium:** Solves many problems, but deconfliction required **What problems is Tanium 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. ### 5. Your NSA for your companies assets. **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Hospital & Health Care | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** March 05, 2019 **What do you like best about Tanium?** The ability to track and locate assets across my company. This has become more efficient than the wild goose chases we use to run around for. Pull the IP and look what WAN its associated to and get the general area. Plus the last user logged in. **What do you dislike about Tanium?** Tanium patching. it can be a hassle and accidentally took server room down... **Recommendations to others considering Tanium:** Do not think twice, it is worth it! **What problems is Tanium solving and how is that benefiting you?** The ability to integrate Tanium information into servicenow to simplify and easily read information. ### 6. Endpoint identification made easy **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Information Technology and Services | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 29, 2018 **What do you like best about Tanium?** Checking for endpoints in our environment has been eased with the use of tanium. We can always check what applications are available on the workstation. **What do you dislike about Tanium?** All the queries need some time to get used to. We cannot directly ask what we want! **What problems is Tanium solving and how is that benefiting you?** Endpoint identification and application management. ### 7. Tanium is a great endpoint management platform **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Ivan A. | Helpdesk Engineer, Non-Profit Organization Management, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 15, 2015 **What do you like best about Tanium?** Tanium is highly customizable and meets our business needs of deploying software/patches to assets across a global infrastructure. **What do you dislike about Tanium?** The Tanium interface can be a bit buggy. But customer support is very quick to respond and resolve issues. There's a bit of a learning curve learning the different queries/commands. **Recommendations to others considering Tanium:** Be sure to build plenty of training for your administrators before any production roll-out to your environment. **What problems is Tanium solving and how is that benefiting you?** We use Tanium for patch management (i.e. software/systems updates), software upgrades (i.e. Office 2010 to Office 2013), and computer standardization enforcement. Great replacement for Group Policy. ### 8. Comprehensive Solution **Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Transportation/Trucking/Railroad | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 06, 2015 **What do you like best about Tanium?** I like that it provides an end to end solution that bridges the gaps between teams. **What do you dislike about Tanium?** Products of this type are notorious for having very expensive support and acquisition costs. **Recommendations to others considering Tanium:** Definitely helps fill the gaps between functional teams such as security, networking, and sysadmins. An all-in-one solution also helps speed diagnosis and remediation of crucial issues. Adding asset inventory, patch management, and software distribution really adds to the overall value of the product. **What problems is Tanium solving and how is that benefiting you?** We investigated this product at a recent trade show but have not purchased or implemented it. -
