How is the Tanium licensing model primarily determined?

The Tanium licensing model is primarily determined by the number of endpoints an organization manages. This reflects the scalability of Tanium’s solution, as the licensing is structured to accommodate growth in an organization’s IT infrastructure. Each endpoint represents a device that can be monitored and managed using Tanium’s capabilities, making it essential for organizations to accurately assess their endpoint count for licensing purposes.

As an organization increases its number of endpoints, it may need to adjust its licensing agreement accordingly to ensure compliance and full access to Tanium’s suite of tools. This model allows organizations to tailor their licensing to their actual usage and requirement, providing flexibility as their environment evolves.

Other aspects, such as the type of endpoint devices, geographical location, and level of support required, may influence operational needs or implementation strategies, but these factors are not the primary determinants of the Tanium licensing structure. The focus remains strictly on the quantity of endpoints that would require management under the Tanium platform.
