Tanium Inc Cloud

I use Tanium  for patching operating systems, upgrading applications, and watching and maintaining Windows endpoints.

Our patch rates have never been better. With Tanium , we see a big difference in patching efficacy.

The ability to run real-time queries is highly valuable. This allows us to get data back about our endpoints as soon as we need it instead of waiting for inventory check-ins.

I would love to see more new user training available on their site.

I have used the solution for 10 years.

It is worth the cost, so go for it.

I love it. The insights we gain from our endpoints and the management capabilities that Tanium provides have been a boon to our operations and security. We feel much better since running Tanium and supporting other Tanium customers.

We initially conducted a proof of concept with Tanium , but we ended up using Patch My PC  on the Windows side and a plugin called Superman for Jamf on Mac devices. Our environment is highly restrictive with no administrative rights, which led to limitations with some solutions.

Tanium  provides a comprehensive suite for managing devices, not just patching. The dashboard and backend services offered by Tanium are excellent. However, in our specific environment, we couldn't fully utilize these features due to security constraints.

Tanium required local admin or root rights on Mac devices, which did not comply with our security policies. This made the solution less suitable for our restrictive environment.

I tested Tanium in the first half of last year.

I can't recall if we used Tanium's professional services. With Patch My PC , we worked with a third-party reseller who provided an engineer to help configure the service, which was very helpful.

With Patch My PC, we worked with a third-party reseller who provided an engineer to help configure the service.

Patch My PC was significantly cheaper compared to Tanium. Full suite solutions like Tanium have similar price ranges based on list prices, but real prices vary after negotiations.

We evaluated Tanium and some other full suite solutions that manage not just patching but also reboot management, application installation, and service management.

Tanium is a very good product and I would rate it eight or nine out of ten. It's a great tool for central management and patch management for devices. I would definitely consider it for future use, provided we can address the root account issues.

The primary use case for Tanium  is compliance, patching, and inventory as part of the core functions.

I find the inventory and compliance features of Tanium  to be the most impressive. They are very effective for endpoint security, and the solution is scalable and easy to install without any problems.

While there is always room for improvement, I am pleased with Tanium.

Tanium was commissioned two to three months ago, making it relatively new to us.

Tanium is a very scalable and easy-to-install solution. We did not experience any problems during deployment.

I find Tanium to be very scalable.

So far, I am satisfied with their customer service. I would rate their technical support as an eight.

The initial setup took about three weeks, including testing and configuring, with the first results viewable after about three to four weeks.

We did the majority of the implementation ourselves, with a bit of support from Tanium.

The return on investment is a bit on the higher side, but due to its completeness, if we can get rid of other solutions or combine multiple tasks with it, it is reasonable.

The pricing is on the higher side. However, to make it economically viable, you need to have a considerable setup to find your return on investment in reducing management time.

I looked at Trellix versus Tanium.

For smaller companies, Tanium is quite a big investment, and one needs to have a considerable setup to make it economically viable. I would recommend it to others with a similar use case. The solution fits the bill at the moment for what we try to do with it. I would rate Tanium at seven and a half to eight overall.

We primarily use Tanium  for patching, focusing on vulnerabilities. Our major goal with Tanium  is to patch based on vulnerabilities detected by our other vulnerability tools.

It's a little difficult, however, I get results immediately once I start patching something. When I push a quick update, it's done right away, and I can rescan immediately to confirm completion within minutes. This is a pro because most patching tools take a while to reflect changes, but Tanium updates quickly.

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. It would be easier if Tanium provided the patches directly. Some other brands provide the patch with a direct download link, which facilitates the process.

Also, I feel that if there were more detailed documents and remediations readily available online for troubleshooting, especially more up-to-date information, it would be beneficial. Currently, some resources online are very out-of-date.

I have been using Tanium for the last three or four years.

I would rate stability around mid-level. I haven't noticed severe problems, however, don't feel entirely confident in marking it as very stable.

The solution is scalable, and I would rate it seven out of ten on scalability. I haven't faced any significant limitations.

Customer service is good. However, I would appreciate more comprehensive documentation for troubleshooting.

If there was a feature that could group devices with similar problems for troubleshooting, it would be beneficial.

Overall, I rate Tanium an eight out of ten.
