We performed a comparison between Cisco Umbrella and Trend Micro TippingPoint Threat Protection System based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Cisco, Zscaler, Palo Alto Networks and others in Secure Web Gateways (SWG)."The solution is stable."
"On the outside, the main differentiation is because Lookout ingest. They have ingested basically all of the apps for the last ten years and all the versions of all the apps, and we have that in a corporate database that allows us to do very large-scale machine learning and analysis on that data set. That's not something that any of the competitors really have the capability to do because they don't have access to the data set. A lot of the apps you can no longer get them because that version of the app is five or six years old, and it just doesn't exist anywhere anymore, except within our infrastructure. So, the ability to have that very rich dataset and learn from that dataset is a real differentiator."
"The protection offered by the product is the most valuable feature. It detects vulnerabilities or traps on our users' phones and then prompts them to clean up their devices. Tools we used previously would only discover, which required us to gather information on the backend, so Lookout is a welcome upgrade."
"The most valuable features are the antivirus as a whole, the anti-malware, and all of the protection features that scan our enterprise devices."
"Meraki features and cloud-based functionality are advanced and easy to manage centrally."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to block users from reaching places that they should not even try to reach has been a boon."
"It will protect, give you more robustness, and faster responses, compared to any firewalls or any of the proxy web servers."
"It analyzes the domain security helps us implement the securest policy."
"By using Cisco Umbrella, you are sure of inspecting all the traffic. Whenever the user machine is connected to your network, it is inspected. That's the best thing. It means you are sure that nothing is being exported or imported without your choice. That is the best feature."
"It is user-friendly. It is easy to manage the solution."
"I also think that the dashboard view is really helpful. Whenever sites get blocked, we get the details and the users who are connecting to them."
"The solution is very easy to manage. We found the initial setup, for example, to be quite simple."
"The technical support on offer is very good."
"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 monitoring is the most valuable feature."
"It integrates easily."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is the central command center, where we can control and manage the solution."
"The IPS signatures and the IPS database that are given are much better than what is commonly available."

"We just submitted an enhancement request reflecting the main area we want to see improvement in; the APIs. Currently, we're able to build dashboards, but it's somewhat backward because we use our MDM API to create them. Lookout should provide API to customers so we can query our data and use it in our cloud, and this is the only outstanding area for improvement with the product right now."
"The stability depends on the service from where you access it. Because sometimes, the place you are in, you have Gateway. You don't have Gateway. The gateway is overutilized. At the end, you need to go through their gateways. And this is the key point here. You have a tracking point. If it's not well orchestrated, and it scales up as you add more to the existing team, you will suffer"
"From the analysis that we've done, they do seem to be maybe a step behind in trying to enter the market with a new solution. But when they do pick up, they do come out with some good products."
"Lookout was moving into the SSE space. And so their work on SecureWeb Gateway and SD-WAN is still sort of evolving."
"Actually, we recently switched over to Zscaler because it has more features and it's more scalable than Cisco Umbrella."
"Network connectivity was a bit of a challenge at the beginning, but we were able to get the right help from Cisco."
"Their support should be improved. It is necessary that the support is efficient. It is not really easy to get a resolution for an issue from Cisco support. They should be faster and more efficient."
"It's a very new product, so it's quite immature at the moment. It can be more user friendly."
"Missing a real data leakage prevention solution."
"This solution does not give us full, 360-degree protection."
"There should be a way to monitor traffic at the user level."
"Security, overall, can always be improved."
"TTPS is a bit behind in visuals, the UI, and some data elements."
"An area for improvement in Trend Micro TippingPoint Threat Protection System is the complexity of its interface."
"I would like to see this solution more lightweight and easier to install."
"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."
"Trend Micro TippingPoint Threat Protection System needs strong Spanish-language support."
"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."
"It integrates well but it takes time."
"The solution should provide the possibility to mix traffic and the traffic's geographical source to have improved functionality."
