Technical Manager at PSR
Provides valuable threat monitoring with robust features but needs improvements in service integration
As a partner with Palo Alto Networks, my email is Sarvajit at bsrgroup.in. My job title is Technical Manager. I confirm that we will publish these reviews on peerspot.com in written or audio format, which can be available to other people, but I can stay anonymous if I wish, and I will get notifications, while the use of the review is subject to PeerSpot's terms of use, accessible at peerspot.com/tos. If Palo Alto has questions or comments about my reviews, they can reach me via email to confirm something. I am interested in being a reference for Palo Alto. The solution is also for enterprise customers only. I see some AI capabilities, such as machine learning, integrated into Palo Alto Networks AutoFocus. ML is present along with behavior analysis, and that is common among all the OEMs nowadays. On a scale from one to ten, I rate this solution a six.
Rejwana Rahman - PeerSpot reviewer
Key Account Manager, Cyber Security & Network Infrastructure at Trustaira
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

"Palo Alto Networks AutoFocus has had a positive impact on my company as we can reduce the cost for the SOC investment, and we can also get good feedback on how to strengthen our network from the expertise people available."
"The logs play a crucial role as they contribute to blocking unwanted Internet traffic."
"The most valuable feature is alerting."
"The feature that I like best is the dashboard."
"I am impressed with the tool's integration of Palo Alto products which serves as a platform for security."
"It is very easy to install and set up AutoFocus."
"It's a very good solution, it identifies critical attacks and alerts you."
"It integrates well with other solutions and provides good threat intelligence in terms of external threats."
"Trend Micro TippingPoint Threat Protection System is an amazing product for me because it has three modes of use."
"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 IPS signatures and the IPS database that are given are much better than what is commonly available."
"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"
"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."
"What I found most valuable in Trend Micro TippingPoint Threat Protection System is its accuracy. It's the best IPS solution in the market."
"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."
"The solution's IDS functionality filters the traffic and blocks malware by blocking the connections."
 

Cons

"Palo Alto Networks AutoFocus is not affordable."
"I would like the tool to see more integration with Cortex XDR. There is no real reason to keep them separate."
"It would be better if they used the threat intelligence feeds directly from their side and changing the verdict instead of us requesting it."
"I would like to have more technical documentation that contains greater detail on the types of threats that are occurring."
"It would be helpful to have better documentation for configuring and installing the solution."
"It must be on-premises as well; it must have a server on-premises. It is a completely cloud-based product at present."
"There were one or two instances where firewalls were not getting the threat intelligence feeds."
"It integrates well but it takes time. The integration process should be faster."
"Traffic prioritization for business, video/audio streams and gamers have limitations"
"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."
"In terms of what can be improved, I would say, integration. Integration of Trend Micro solutions with Azure. We need more integration."
"I would like to see this solution more lightweight and easier to install."
"This is not the cheapest option. The solution is quite expensive."
"The firewall rules are limited."
"The solution is not as reliable as we would like."
