Offers a good firewall that blocks unwanted ports
In our company's infrastructure, we have not faced any challenges with the product. Considering the lack of issues or challenges faced with the use of the product in our company's environment, I feel that it is a good solution. Sometimes, the product is not very stable, but it is something that depends on the infrastructure in which the tool is used. The aforementioned area can be considered for improvement. If Trend Micro Deep Security wants to implement some new features in it, then I would say that it should focus from a networking point of view and see how to control network traffic specifically coming from external to internal traffic on the servers.
Subhendu Dhar - PeerSpot reviewer
Operates in-line in the network, blocking malicious and unwanted traffic
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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The vulnerability scanning reduces false positives by quite a bit."
"It provides the type of data and availability that we need to have. We don't have to worry about intrusions."
"The user interface is the most valuable feature."
"There are a good signature set and a high rate of detection."
"I switched to Trend Micro because of its good marketing techniques."
"It's easy to use and the interface is simple."
"Their support is good. They are responsive, which is nice."
"Patch management is most valuable. The major selling point of Deep Security is that it is based on the cloud. Deep Security is for the servers and databases of data centers, and generally, for patch management, you have to shut down the machines, and then you have to restart them. So, they need shutdown time, which is a cost. Big enterprises don't want to shut down their database or their data center for any kind of patch. Deep Security creates a wall and downloads all patches. You install it on the cloud. So, it saves your server from any kind of intrusion or any kind of penetration, and whenever you get a chance or time, in six, eight, or nine months, you can physically download or install all those patches in one go. So, it saves you time. It also saves your shutdown time and keeps your data center safe."
"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."
"The IPS signatures and the IPS database that are given are much better than what is commonly available."

"The monitoring is the most valuable feature."
"The solution's IDS functionality filters the traffic and blocks malware by blocking the connections."
"I would rate TTPS's stability eight out of ten."
"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 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."
 

Cons

"The support for email protection can be improved."
"It needs to improve its integration with a lot of other products. This should be in the road map because we have a lot of SaaS-based appliances which are not connected with each other."
"They need to build in a central console because central integration is not very good right now."
"What this product lacks at this stage is the ability to have automated workbooks to do the response. At this stage, the response is more manual, and it is not automated. If there is a response functionality in Deep Security, similar to what we have in EDR these days, to automatically respond to some of the threats, it would be cool. So, we'd like to have an automated response. There should be a response functionality."
"The risk is very complex. We need our tools to be more intelligent, more automated, more detectable."
"The situation with the currency in Turkey makes this solution a little bit on the expensive side, and if it were lowered then it would be more competitive."
"The tool should integrate SIM functionality. It should also improve customer support."
"The user interface could be more user-friendly, as navigation sometimes requires familiarity with the console."
"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."
"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."
"The solution is pretty expensive."
"An area for improvement in Trend Micro TippingPoint Threat Protection System is the complexity of its interface."
"TTPS is a bit behind in visuals, the UI, and some data elements."
"It integrates well but it takes time."
"I would like to see this solution more lightweight and easier to install."
"The firewall rules are limited."
