Quotes from Members

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

"It can also help with capacity planning, sizing, and maximizing overall performance in a large scale environment."
"It allows me to manage resources effectively and monitor active sessions."
"The functions and features of Oracle Enterprise Manager that I have found most valuable are its evolution from being problematic in 10g and 11g versions to becoming better and more stable."
"The solution is easy to use and has good performance."
"The solution's most valuable feature is the ability to examine SQL code, track how many times it’s been parsed and used, and utilize this data for tuning."
"I have found the uptime of all of our systems to be most valuable with this solution. This is important because we need to guarantee specific uptime and preventive maintenance. We need to know upfront if there are going to be any issues on the database so we can proactively solve those."
"Oracle Enterprise Manager helps to control servers."
"Tanium's most valuable feature is its instant discovery aspect."
"I would say Tanium is the best tool for vulnerability management."
"Tanium's most valuable features are patch management, inventory, and distribution software."
"Tanium’s linear-chain architecture is valuable."
"The security features are very valuable."
"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."
"Threat hunting is a very good feature on Tanium. We have just started using it and have not used it extensively."
 

Cons

"Technical support could be faster."
"The product is pretty comprehensive, but quite resource hungry. This might be due to the majority of the application seemingly being written in Java."

"The tool is expensive."
"The solution is not as simple as people say it is."
"I feel more dashboards can be added, especially those useful to higher levels of IT management."
"Tanium’s scalability could be improved."
"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."
"Tanium's limitations should be improved because although it is a great tool, it is limited to only a few classes during a session."

"We had some issues with the solution's OS upgrade."
