Senior Cybersecurity Analyst at a energy/utilities company with 1,001-5,000 employees
It has excellent scalability and allows you to execute custom COCR rules, letting you fine-tune agent monitoring
I'm using Tripwire Enterprise version 9.0. In my company, thirty to forty people use Tripwire Enterprise, mainly different types of engineers, governance, risk, compliance, and cybersecurity personnel. I advise people planning to use Tripwire Enterprise to take the training because the solution has a fairly complex interface. You can do a lot of work with it, but it isn't very easy. Tripwire Enterprise is a sophisticated tool. I rate the tool an eight on a scale of one to ten because it does an excellent job of handling the unique challenges of maintaining NERC CIP compliance and monitoring industrial controls.

Long-term threat visibility has reduced customer incidents and supports steady recurring revenue
The real-time visibility on network traffic provided by Trend Micro Deep Discovery is good, and my customer is satisfied. My customers have indeed utilized the Threat Intelligence Sharing feature of Trend Micro Deep Discovery. The impact of the Threat Intelligence Sharing feature on overall defense and security is positive. The benefit that Deep Discovery brings to our organization is that we get fewer calls from customers, allowing me to focus on other businesses, and we receive year-on-year revenue for renewals.
