It provides all such meaningful reports to help you understand what's happening.""The product helps me to see malware."

"Tanium's most valuable features are patch management, inventory, and distribution software.""Tanium has made the process of detecting threats more proactive with its detection. So, the process is easier and more efficient.""Threat hunting is a very good feature on Tanium. We have just started using it and have not used it extensively.""I would say Tanium is the best tool for vulnerability management.""I like the fact that you can create patching campaigns depending on the area of your network that you want to address first. I like the ability it has to make several campaigns that work in parallel.""The most valuable features of this solution are the consolidation of all historical data on device endpoints, security drivers, firmware, and Software version gaps.""For incident response tasks, all these tasks can get done in minutes with minimal disruption to the end-user.""Tanium's most valuable feature is its instant discovery aspect."

Cons
"The product needs to improve its user-friendliness. It is very tricky and you need to study it before using the standard functionalities.""If we migrate these things to an event or send us an email if there is any critical event, I would like to configure these things on the initial launch. Because if a system is compromised, there will be a lot of data movement from one post to another post to the outside. Then, we should also get an alert on email as well. We have since we have integrated these things. But a direct email for critical alerts should be there. So, I would like to enhance the critical event configuration.""When I used to work on it, I just didn't see anything new happening for about a year and a half. Providing newer data and newer reports constantly would help. There should be more classifications and more interesting data.""The initial setup is a bit complex in terms of deployment and configuration""Cisco Stealthwatch Cloud could improve the graphical user interface. It could be a more user-friendly graphical user interface. so that. Not everybody's a cyber security professional, most of the customers that I deal with are not very skilled. The terms that they use in the solution are quite understandable for a normal CIO.""The initial setup of Cisco Stealthwatch Cloud is complex.""The product's price is high."

"The solution lacks mobility.""They could improve the UI.""The solution can give a lot of false positives.""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.""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.""I would like to have more integrations and custom plugins to input. Integration is always a big deal in a lot of different environments.""The most painful thing is the interface. It's a bit unclear sometimes.""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."
