"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.""Tanium has made the process of detecting threats more proactive with its detection. So, the process is easier and more efficient.""Tanium's most valuable features are patch management, inventory, and distribution software.""The product is granular and can build complex roles compared to other EDR vendors.""I'm not so familiar with the tool but I like the interaction of the console to the picture. Patching is the primary model I have been focusing on for the last couple of weeks. So I have created a proof of concept environment and have been checking the available features.""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."

Cons

More Microsoft Defender Vulnerability Management Cons →

"Tanium's limitations should be improved because although it is a great tool, it is limited to only a few classes during a session.""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.""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.""Tanium’s scalability could be improved.""We had some issues with the solution's OS upgrade.""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.""The solution lacks mobility."
