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

"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."
"Even if you change a single word in Notepad, it will let you know whether it was added, removed, or modified."
"Its reporting features are great. It gives you an in-depth report. Its customization is also great, and it is working fine."
"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 integrity management. I had some discussions with service providers, and they also agreed."
"File monitoring is the most valuable feature of the solution."
"Its reporting features are great, it gives you an in-depth report, its customization is also great, and it is working fine."
"The most valuable feature is the central command center, where we can control and manage the solution."
"Quick and simple installation without specific knowledge Less administrative load, as after tuning only 30-40 minutes needed per day to manage it Sorting/Blocking/Searching can be done in one or two moves"
"The monitoring is the most valuable feature."
"What I like about Trend Micro TippingPoint Threat Protection System is that it works okay, I don't have time to mess with the tool most of the time because I have way too many tasks to do, but Trend Micro TippingPoint Threat Protection System tells you when there's a problem, then it blocks the problem, so that's what I like most about it."
"Very clear on the findings, great detection features"
"The technical support staff at Trend Micro is very knowledgeable and talented."
"The solution's IDS functionality filters the traffic and blocks malware by blocking the connections."
"For intrusion detection and mitigation, it has helped us in sort of known signatures and all sorts of things. So, we're very happy with the engine. That's the work."
 

Cons

"There are several errors when deploying this solution to AIX systems, but with the help of support, it can be done."
"The main way that it can be improved is through better reporting."
"The deployment with certain systems can be difficult and it needs to be simplified."
"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."
"The stability of Tripwire Enterprise has room for improvement, but it's about 75% what it should be already."
"Cloud monitoring could be better. It would also be better if the company followed a pay-as-you-use model."
"A lot of network devices need a custom integration."
"It needs more local support from the OEM side. It would be great if this can be improved."
"In terms of what can be improved, I would say, integration. Integration of Trend Micro solutions with Azure. We need more integration."
"It integrates well but it takes time. The integration process should be faster."
"Your IPS is only as good as the threat intelligence behind it. TippingPoint should be able to combine ArcSight into IP blocking services, not wait for Fortify to pull ArcSight."
"We need more integration. It would be good if Azure IPS and TippingPoint IPS and other products from Trend Micro like their DBI and IWSVA could talk between each other."
"Customer Service: OK, but not great ... very US centric."
"It takes a lot of time before you're connected to an engineer, so an area for improvement in Trend Micro TippingPoint Threat Protection System is the response time of its technical support team."
