We performed a comparison between Microsoft Configuration Manager and Tanium based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Server Monitoring solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."I like the data collection."
"The initial setup is straightforward and not too complicated."
"The solution effectively handles inventory management, deployment, and reporting."
"Offers good patching."
"The ease of usability is the most valuable feature. It's user-friendly."
"Microsoft Configuration Manager helps with patch management."
"One of the standout features of SCCM is its application management capabilities. It allows us to create packages efficiently and deploy them to specific groups within our network. This streamlined process has significantly improved our software distribution workflows."
"I manage software updates and operating systems for devices, and within seconds, we can remotely deploy a system for, say, 2,000 devices. Not only that, but we can also deploy scripts and create comprehensive compliance rules."
"I would say Tanium is the best tool for vulnerability management."
"The security features are very valuable."
"The interrogation piece was the most valuable feature because it was very detailed."
"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."
"I like the tool's incident response and security patching."
"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 product is granular and can build complex roles compared to other EDR vendors."
"We'd like the solution to make it easier to manage remote users."
"This solution needs to be supported on all Operating systems."
"Marketing: Our management doesn't understand that there is a piece of software which helps them automate and manage the entire network, as far as operating systems on computers."
"The assets have reached their end-of-life, and patching them is a complex and laborious task. It would be highly advantageous if there were an integrated solution that provided distinct options for each end-of-life asset, streamlining the process and facilitating comprehension."
"Its client interface should be more accessible, and the notifications should be more customizable from the console. It should be more user friendly and have some kind of customized notifications so that we can use it on the client side. These are the reasons why we restricted its use only for the server environment and didn't use it on the client side."
"The solution can be improved with the addition of a mobile device manager."
"The solution does not support remote devices so the CMG is still required."
"The solution could improve the functionality for automating, license management. Additionally, more and better-looking reports are needed."
"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."
"Tanium's limitations should be improved because although it is a great tool, it is limited to only a few classes during a session."
"I would like to have more integrations and custom plugins to input. Integration is always a big deal in a lot of different environments."
"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."
"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 solution lacks mobility."
"The most painful thing is the interface. It's a bit unclear sometimes."
"The reporting could be improved."
