Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Tanium has made the process of detecting threats more proactive with its detection. So, the process is easier and more efficient.""The solution is scalable and helps to understand how infrastructure works. It helps to improve the health of the organization.""The security features are very valuable.""Tanium's most valuable feature is its instant discovery aspect.""I would say Tanium is the best tool for vulnerability management.""Threat hunting is a very good feature on Tanium. We have just started using it and have not used it extensively.""I like the tool's incident response and security patching.""The interrogation piece was the most valuable feature because it was very detailed."

"The solution is easy to use and configuration is smooth with no complexities.""The price of Tenable.io Vulnerability Management is reasonable as it is ten times cheaper than other options.""The initial setup is not complex.""I would rate Tenable's dashboards and reporting capabilities for illustrating security posture a nine out of ten, with ten being the best.""The most valuable feature for me is container scanning because I am interested in CICD security.""The solution's most valuable feature is providing a single pane of visibility on all the infrastructure and its status.""The initial setup is very straightforward.""Tenable.io Vulnerability Management is an easy-to-use product. I"

Cons
"The main issues are the network connection because different customers have issues with their networks. It's difficult implementing this type of solution because the network is the main feature in the architecture for these types of solutions. Tanium could improve by creating some network optimization.""The solution needs to improve the reporting and tracking capabilities.""Any movement into a SaaS solution has challenges since the processes and data flows are not well defined. Hence, you need to build it at the same time.""The solution can give a lot of false positives.""The reporting could be improved.""I would like to have more integrations and custom plugins to input. Integration is always a big deal in a lot of different environments.""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."

More Tanium Cons →

"Tenable.io Vulnerability Management could be improved with an increased number of dashboards and MSSP integration.""Tenable could improve visibility into assets, including automated asset tagging. You should be able to automatically tag assets based on location, function, ownership, etc. That would help us because we spend a lot of time identifying and tagging assets by hand.""I would like the solution to cover the whole cycle of mitigation since it's an area where the solution currently lacks.""The solution seems to focus too much on enterprises, and they really need a product that works for SMBs.""The stability has room for improvement.""The shortcoming of the solution that needs improvement is related to its capability to do vulnerability assessments on applications.""The tool's reports are bad. They're not very customizable or flexible. During audits, we often have to exclude things that aren't relevant to our organization, but we can't do that easily with the reports. They come in HTML or PDF format, and we can't compare current results with previous ones in Excel because we never receive reports in Excel.""The pricing of the solution could be more reasonable."
