By default, <tab> and <shift-tab> don't indent/dedent in normal or
visual mode (also, <shift-tab> isn't seen by all versions of Vim,
depending on whether your terminal emulator passes it along or not).

By default, the < and > should dedent/indent. In visual-mode, they
should work by themselves. In normal-mode, they require a {motion}
afterward (including text-objects). In insert-mode, you can use
control+T and control+D to indent/dedent the current line regardless
of position.
