Exceptional threat detection and effortless installation impress users
The solution has best-in-breed technology and scores very highly on efficacy rates. The threat detection rates are exceptionally good, better than most of the competition. The solution is highly respected in the industry. The product is very scalable, and the installation is reported to be extremely easy, even for those without great technical capabilities.
Rejwana Rahman - PeerSpot reviewer
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.

"The threat detection rates are exceptionally good, better than most of the competition."
"The quarantine computer functionality is very good for me."
"The best thing about Bitdefender is that it has got top-notch features and it is not tied to specific countries like some other antivirus tools."
"I find Bitdefender GravityZone Ultra Plus to be a pretty good solution for the mid-level market, specifically for organizations with up to two hundred fifty users. I like that it is an averagely priced solution. It also has a straightforward installation that can be completed within three to five minutes. Its technical support is also good enough."
"Bitdefender GravityZone Ultra Plus is highly stable."
"It integrates easily."
"The IPS signatures and the IPS database that are given are much better than what is commonly available."
"The most valuable feature is the central command center, where we can control and manage the solution."
"You don't need any hardware because the solution is on the cloud. I like that Trend Micro TippingPoint Threat Protection System is easy to install and manage."
"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."
"The technical support on offer is very good."
"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

"Some customers would like additional features that aren't available through the current GravityZone platform. Some feedback has been about the deletion of other software not going smoothly during the installation of Bitdefender, particularly the removal of previous software like Sophos."
"Adding a feature like Data Loss Prevention would be beneficial."
"The mobile version needs improvement."
"Some customers would like additional features that aren't available through the current GravityZone platform."
"The solution must improve its management features."
"I would like automatic issue fixing for users without needing to physically open the PC. I'd prefer updates and fixes from the cloud to avoid headaches and save time."
"The solution seems to be pretty amateur for an EDR solution, and it should be more in sync in terms of features, with solutions such as FireEye and SentinelOne."
"TTPS is a bit behind in visuals, the UI, and some data elements."
"It integrates well but it takes time."
"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."
"Premium support is lucrative but it is very expensive."
"The solution should provide the possibility to mix traffic and the traffic's geographical source to have improved functionality."
"An area for improvement in Trend Micro TippingPoint Threat Protection System is the complexity of its interface."
"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."
