Complements any firewall
The core processors are there and it's able to generate reports for that. It also complements any kind of firewall. For example, if an end user is using Palo Alto as a firewall, they'd need another layer of firewall like the S-Series that will protect internal servers. It's something that complements any firewall in the market.

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

"Setup is straightforward with the same reliability and scalability as the firewall series."
"The technical support staff at Trend Micro is very knowledgeable and talented."
"Trend Micro TippingPoint Threat Protection System is an amazing product for me because it has three modes of use."
"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"
"Very clear on the findings, great detection features"
"The technical support on offer is very good."
"It integrates easily."
"The Trend Micro TippingPoint Threat Protection System performs excellently."
"It ships with a default profile that enables approximately 2300 filters for items that should never legitimately exist on a network, including certain attacks such as buffer overflows as well as malicious downloads."
 

Cons

"Lack of tools to help educate end users"
"The solution is pretty expensive."
"It integrates well but it takes time. The integration process should be faster."
"In terms of what can be improved, I would say, integration. Integration of Trend Micro solutions with Azure. We need more integration."
"Customer Service: AverageTechnical Support: Average"
"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 find Trend Micro TippingPoint Threat Protection System a bit clunky, and updating it can be a pain in the neck because you need to do it from time to time, so this is what needs to be improved in it. I would also rather have an all-in-one system that does intrusion detection, protection, web filtering, and also serves as a firewall, and my company is moving to an all-in-one solution, but I'm unsure of how soon that's going to be. 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."
"Traffic prioritization for business, video/audio streams and gamers have limitations"
"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."
