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.

Client feedback highlights smooth performance with enhancements expected over time
The system responds to potential threats in real time, which is very important, and the Trend Micro TippingPoint Threat Protection System performs excellently. In Bangladesh, one bank keeps performing with this solution, and I think it will be an example for others as well. The bank wants to protect their network, and this is a cybersecurity solution. For providing cybersecurity solutions, they explore many things. Basically, every kind of BFSI uses a network firewall, which is a very basic component.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The most valuable feature is the integrity."
"We use Tripwire Enterprise as a tool to test the vulnerability of a network. That is the most valuable feature of the product for us."
"I would recommend to anybody to try out Tripwire Enterprise."
"File monitoring is the most valuable feature of the solution."
"The product supports different platforms."
"Even if you change a single word in Notepad, it will let you know whether it was added, removed, or modified."
"What's most valuable in Tripwire Enterprise is the ability to execute custom COCR rules that lets me fine-tune how I monitor Linux and Windows agents."
"The most valuable feature is the integrity, because if the file configuration has been modified this solution calculates a hash code of the file and, if someone has changed the file, the solution will recalculate the hash and the admin receives a notice that the file has been modified, by sending an email or an alert to the administrator that someone has modified, added, or deleted a line, not just in files but also in tables metadata and network device configurations."
"Trend Micro TippingPoint Threat Protection System is very stable. In addition, the provider gives notice of any changes well in advance, which is important for planning updates."
"A standout feature of TippingPoint is its strong integration with various solutions. It stands out as one of the leading network Intrusion Prevention Systems (IPS) in the current market and is known for its seamless integration with other solutions. For instance, when it identifies a potential threat within the traffic stream, it meticulously analyzes the data. Even in multilayer security scenarios, Tipping Point's network IPS can serve as a bypass for the basic firewall. If a threat is identified by Tipping Point, it promptly shares this information with the other systems. This ensures that they're updated and can employ the necessary solutions from their signature databases. The entire network gets safeguarded automatically. This integration extends to components like security and FX. This linkage streamlines our operations, offering a consolidated point of control for managing threats effectively."
"It is a stable solution, it is dedicated to IPS, and it is one of the best solutions; it is a very stable and very good solution in this way."
"I would rate TTPS's stability eight out of ten."
"The IPS signatures and the IPS database that are given are much better than what is commonly available."
"What I found most valuable in Trend Micro TippingPoint Threat Protection System is its accuracy. It's the best IPS solution in the market."
"From my understanding, this is a very useful solution for the government sector."
"The technical support on offer is very good."
 

Cons

"A lot of network devices need a custom integration."
"The deployment with certain systems can be difficult and it needs to be simplified."
"Cloud monitoring could be better. It would also be better if the company followed a pay-as-you-use model."
"It needs more local support from the OEM side. It would be great if this can be improved."
"The initial setup is complex."
"The Windows online integration license needs to be improved."
"There are several errors when deploying this solution to AIX systems, but with the help of support, it can be done."
"An area for improvement in Tripwire Enterprise is stability, as my company had stability issues with the last few versions of the solution. Tripwire Enterprise has been a bit buggy."
"TTPS is a bit behind in visuals, the UI, and some data elements."
"Customer Service: AverageTechnical Support: Average"
"Trend Micro TippingPoint Threat Protection System needs strong Spanish-language support."
"Price is a significant factor that requires attention to enhance the popularity of Tipping Point among mid-sized data centres. Currently, Tipping Point is primarily adopted by sizable data centres, and smaller defenders might find it financially challenging to acquire. Recognizing this, efforts are underway to potentially introduce diverse models with varying capacities. This adjustment aims to ensure that a broader range of data sizes can benefit from the solution. Also, the continuous evolution of Tipping Point is evident in its features, particularly the personalized dashboard and related aspects."
"In terms of what can be improved, I would say, integration. Integration of Trend Micro solutions with Azure. We need more integration."
"Trend Micro TippingPoint Threat Protection System also doesn't have enough bandwidth to handle the required traffic within my company, so it's going to be replaced."
"I would like to see this solution more lightweight and easier to install."
"The solution is not as reliable as we would like."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Tripwire is more expensive than Netwrix."
"The licensing depends on the equipment, how many devices and the types of devices."
"Cloud monitoring could be better. It could also be cheaper. It would be better if the company followed a pay-as-you-use model."
"It is an expensive solution and I would rate it three out of ten."
"Trend Micro TippingPoint Threat Protection System is an expensive product."
"TippingPoint is not as expensive as Palo Alto but it's not as cheap as Fortigate."
"TTPS is reasonably priced."
"The price is in a market-suitable price range. So it's not expensive, but it's also not cheap either. The price is a strong point."
"It's an expensive product."
"We pay for Trend Micro TippingPoint Threat Protection System yearly. The cost increases if you add more users."
"On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the solution's pricing a seven out of ten."
