Tanium Delivers Real-Time Endpoint Visibility and Scalable Remediation
What do you like best about the product?
Tanium addresses our challenges around endpoint visibility, patch compliance, and scalable remediation by letting us deploy software, patch vulnerabilities, and take targeted actions based on real-time sensor data, with minimal manual effort.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some areas where Tanium could improve are complexity and overall usability, since there can be a noticeable learning curve when building custom sensors, packages, and more advanced workflows. The initial setup and ongoing maintenance also tend to require significant planning and expertise. Continued refinement of the UI and documentation would help make the platform feel more approachable and easier to adopt, especially for newer users.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
What I like most about Tanium is the real-time visibility and control it gives us across our endpoints, along with how powerful and flexible the Deploy and Patch modules are. The sensor-driven targeting for packages really stands out to me because it lets us automate actions safely and precisely, rather than relying on broad, one-size-fits-all deployments.
Sufficient for Basic Tasks, Struggles with Complexity
What do you like best about the product?
I like that Tanium used to do events for us, as it was a beneficial aspect. I also find the 'deploy' feature useful since it's where we do most of our work.
What do you dislike about the product?
I struggle with imaging computers and sometimes reading failed scripts in Tanium. It doesn't give us a clear reason why a script failed. The initial setup took us a while, and we still experience growing pains.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Tanium to push software and look at event logs. It solves some scripting problems, but causes more when scripting isn't working.
Powerful Tool with Great Support, Needs Minor Tweaks
What do you like best about the product?
I use Tanium for patching, gathering data at scale, as well as deploying fixes and software at scale. One of the major problems it solves is providing a single pane of glass look into our environment, offering insight across several domains from a single location. I really like the ease of use and the support behind the product. If there's an issue we cannot solve, Tanium support is there to get a Subject Matter Expert to assist. Once I completed the required training, it's pretty easy to get what I want from the tool. Overall, this is an extremely powerful tool.
What do you dislike about the product?
The discover module, at least for our setup, is not great. Since this is a client-based tool, it should be easy to know "Hey Server3 was active yesterday, but is no longer reporting today", or with the peer networking... "Hey I'm connected to the cloud but I see this other server on my block and he's not connected."
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Tanium for patching, data gathering, and deploying fixes at scale. It solves the problem of needing a single pane of glass view into multiple domains, allowing insight from one location.
Powerful Multifunctional Tool with Excellent Support
What do you like best about the product?
I love the wide range of things that can be accomplished with a single tool in Tanium, and having access to real-time data is a huge plus. The customization options are fantastic; I can create our own dashboards and packages as needed. The help and support from our TAM and the Tanium support team are incredibly helpful, and I can always rely on getting answers quickly. Also, I find the console to be very aesthetically pleasing, which helps in organizing a lot of data.
What do you dislike about the product?
One feature that would be very beneficial for our team is the ability to interact with files once we browse to them in the file system, such as the ability to remove/delete these files.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Tanium to identify and remediate vulnerabilities efficiently, even on devices not on our network. It's versatile, giving me real-time data, customizable dashboards, and strong support, saving time and enhancing security across agencies.

I use Tanium to manage PCs and Macs, mainly for software distribution and patch management. It helps find machines without BitLocker, resolve vulnerabilities, and distribute software effectively. Its ease of use and real-time information is valuable, managing software updates well, even with network changes.
Fast, Far-Reaching Endpoint Insights Right from the Console
What do you like best about the product?
The speed and reach of the product. I love that I can find more information on endpoints with just asking questions in the console. Patching can be a bit difficult to explain to the end user but when using Patch it make sense.
What do you dislike about the product?
The thing I dislike most about Tanium is that it was made to be the bad guy for issues in our environment. I also don't like being on prem and having to update tanium manually. It would be nice if On Prem had an option to allow modules to update on a schedule.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Tanium is allowing us to Patch endpoints at break neck speeds but limitations of being in a medical environment causes backlash. 3rd party providers cause it to be difficult to get the agent on them because of FDA limitations.
Fast, Capable Platform with a Great Interface and Strong TAM Support
What do you like best about the product?
Interface, Quickness of reaching endpoints, Large set of capabilities, Weekly meeting with TAM, Product has it's pulse on real world issues, Package Gallery reduces packaging load
What do you dislike about the product?
Big software with a lot of users - changes to the software even when smart are very slow to come in production. Role based access user management is very complicated to understand.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Ease of reaching multiple endpoints in different domain/environments with a few simple requirements (software/network ports). Patching large environment. Getting answer to generic questions with whatever can be scripted.
Incredibly Fast, Reliable, and Easy to Use—One of the Best Products I’ve Used
What do you like best about the product?
No infrastructure with an amazing peering system (linear chain). Very easy to use and incredibly fast and reliable. Seems too good to be true, but by far one of the best products I've used
What do you dislike about the product?
When an agent is not working, troubleshooting seems to be difficult. There isn't a whole lot of documentation to guide you, you kind of just have to figure it out by yourself.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Patching and Provision are amazing. For remote users tanium is the best at getting content to the endpoint. Enforce is great for things that aren't joined to the domain, but still need policies enforced
