About the Study

A Forrester TEI study is designed to quantify the benefits, costs, risks and flexibility of a solution to determine its impact on an organisation. The study is conducted entirely by Forrester using independent and objective research from actual Tanium customers. Tanium did not take part in the interview process or provide any information for the study.

The Forrester TEI findings are based on interviews with decision-makers who have experience using the Tanium Autonomous IT Platform in their organisations. Forrester combined the results into a single composite organisation, which is a North America-based global enterprise with 40,000 employees and $15 billion in annual revenue. The composite organisation has a distributed technology footprint spanning corporate offices, retail and field locations, and international regions. It manages 48,000 endpoints across Windows, Linux, macOS, servers and cloud workloads.
