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 IPS signatures and the IPS database that are given are much better than what is commonly available."
"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."
"The solution's IDS functionality filters the traffic and blocks malware by blocking the connections."
"Trend Micro TippingPoint Threat Protection System is an amazing product for me because it has three modes of use."
"Very clear on the findings, great detection features"
"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."
"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"
"It integrates easily."
 

Cons

"Lack of tools to help educate end users"
"The firewall rules are limited."
"Trend Micro TippingPoint Threat Protection System needs strong Spanish-language support."
"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."
"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."
"The solution should provide the possibility to mix traffic and the traffic's geographical source to have improved functionality."
"Traffic prioritization for business, video/audio streams and gamers have limitations"
"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."
"Customer Service: OK, but not great ... very US centric."
