What is the key difference between views and reports in Asset?

The key difference between views and reports in Asset lies in their optimization for different use cases, especially in the context of programmatic integration.

Reports are designed to facilitate access to data in a way that makes them suitable for integration with other applications or systems. They provide well-structured outputs that can be easily consumed by external programs, making them valuable for organizations looking to automate data processes or integrate data into other workflows.

On the other hand, views are typically intended for direct interaction within the Tanium platform. They focus on presenting data for analysis and user interaction rather than being optimized for integration.

This distinction in purpose and functionality highlights why the report is seen as the better option for programmatic data consumption, thereby confirming that the correct response is that reports are optimized for programmatic integration.
