Currently, we have around six Fortinet boxes in three locations, but nothing as a cloud service yet. We are using Kaseya VSA. Kaseya is deployed in the cloud with Office 365. We also have Tanium from the corporate office, which is another tool that is part of Trend Micro. We manage Tanium by looking at what is happening and report any anomalies to the head office. Tanium is a mandate from our corporate office. We had to install it so that they can push their applications remotely. For example, we implemented Trend Micro, but nothing was done from our side. We had to install Tanium on the endpoints and then we got Trend Micro up and running on the endpoints through Tanium. Once we install Tanium, we see that after a certain period of time, Trend Micro has been deployed without our intervention. It is a good tool for remote application deployment. However, Tanium itself has to be deployed manually. We set a policy to block USB access. The moment a device is being set up on the network, I apply the policy, but it does not come into effect immediately. Sometimes it takes three or four days for it to reflect.

Tanium is used for heterogeneous endpoint management in general. As a consultant, I work with different customers across multiple industries. Tanium could be useful in finance, education, federal, and I have worked with companies in education, distribution, logistics, manufacturing, and aerospace. Some of them do have Tanium in those situations.

We initially conducted a proof of concept with Tanium, but we ended up using Patch My PC on the Windows side and a plugin called Superman for Jamf on Mac devices. Our environment is highly restrictive with no administrative rights, which led to limitations with some solutions.
We primarily use Tanium for patching, focusing on vulnerabilities. Our major goal with Tanium is to patch based on vulnerabilities detected by our other vulnerability tools.
Tanium offers robust endpoint protection, patching, and inventory management, consolidating the functions of tools like BigFix with capabilities in incident response, network security, and cloud or on-premise deployments.Known for real-time capabilities, Tanium provides detailed analytics, security features, and device management. Users benefit from quick implementation, real-time updates, and patching campaigns. Despite its strengths, integration and custom plugin expansion remain areas to...

I use Tanium for patching operating systems, upgrading applications, and watching and maintaining Windows endpoints.

The primary use case for Tanium is compliance, patching, and inventory as part of the core functions.

I use the solution in my company for reporting, software delivery, and patching. The tool is similar to SCCM.
