Dashboard customization is needed for improvements. While the centralized management is strong, the dashboard could offer more flexibility. It would be helpful to tailor views for different roles, such as IT or security support. Regarding needed improvements, custom report building could be enhanced. Current reports are informative, and a drag-and-drop builder would allow teams to create tailored views for compliance, executive summaries, or operational metrics. For further improvements, enhancing threat simulation and testing would be valuable. Building a threat simulation tool and adding native capabilities to simulate phishing, malware, or ransomware scenarios will help teams validate protection and train users without relying on third-party tools.

Immediate results in patching promptly address vulnerabilities
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 Currently, some resources online are very out-of-date.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"It is very powerful tooling that can be tuned a lot."
"It is integrated with a cloud platform that takes advantage of many emulation features in real-time filtering of malicious attacks."
"Check Point Antivirus goes in-depth and looks for threats and malware - including phishing attempts."
"The graphical interface is very easy to use and intuitive, which greatly facilitates the work and greatly facilitates the work and the location of threats on the users' computers."
"We love that we don't have to upgrade it anymore. They take care of that."
"The forensics allows us to search retrospectively for an URL or file opened by users, for example, when you need to quickly check who else has clicked on a phishing link."
"Its ability to rollback anti-ransomware once an attack has started is the most valuable feature."
"The reporting feature where we can see and monitor what happened on our client computers is useful."
"Tanium is a very good product and I would rate it eight or nine out of ten."
"The interrogation piece was the most valuable feature because it was very detailed."
"When I push a quick update, it's done right away, and I can rescan immediately to confirm completion within minutes."
"The security features are very valuable."
"Threat hunting is a very good feature on Tanium. We have just started using it and have not used it extensively."
"The product is granular and can build complex roles compared to other EDR vendors."
"Tanium's most valuable features are patch management, inventory, and distribution software."
"I like the tool's incident response and security patching."
 

Cons

"Check Point Harmony Endpoint could improve by allowing it to work on older systems by reducing the system requirements. Since our systems are dated we can only use the antivirus module features."
"The solutions agent could have better performance, it is a little slow sometimes."
"The SLA is slow."
"Its guides are identical to the existing ones. These guides should be updated and they should improve their design."
"The solution has limitations if it's hosted on-prem or as a SaaS."
"They could be focused on the analysis of USB devices."
"It would also be great to include DLP capabilities for the endpoint so that we do not have to deploy additional agents on servers or PCs or use additional products."
"An additional feature I would like to see involves the VPN."
"There are some bugs in the product. The tool needs to improve in the area of reporting."
"We had some issues with the solution's OS upgrade."
"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."
"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."
"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 needs to improve the reporting and tracking capabilities."
"The most painful thing is the interface. It's a bit unclear sometimes."
"The solution can give a lot of false positives."
