Cost considerations
Tanium XEM Core bills per endpoint at a higher rate than most peers and key security modules are priced separately, so total spend escalates fast. Volume discounts are modest, limiting savings for large fleets. Many buyers find the added risk reduction hard to quantify against more economical scanners.

Functionality
Tanium XEM Core keeps endpoint data current through continuous agent visibility and authenticated checks, sends prioritized findings to ServiceNow for ticketing and verifies remediation, yet only offers limited container coverage so its breadth falls just short of the top tier

Compatibility
Tanium uses one agent for Windows, macOS, and Linux, hooks directly into AWS, Azure, GCP, ServiceNow CMDB, Splunk, and supports SAML SSO. Open APIs cover most other hand-offs, so integration work is light. Native container image coverage is limited, so Kubernetes and registry data usually need separate tools or scripts.

User experience
Dashboards give real-time risk views and fast searches, but the console feels busy and users must learn the Tanium question bar. Most teams need training before they can locate reports or move from asset lists to fixes. Newer rivals with cleaner, guided layouts are simpler for first-time users.
