SB
Deputy Manager at a financial services firm with 10,001+ employees
Experience seamless integration and effective dashboard while considering improved EDR configuration support
The way Cymulate works for EDR could be improved, as it drops payload and requires action from the EDR console for remediation, which can block the whole process of Cymulate execution. They should create some KB articles for the granular exclusion from different platforms and improve their technical assistance support.
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

"The security validation feature helps my organization in assessing our security posture."
"The most valuable feature for us is the zero-day."
"Cymulate is easy to set up, install, and configure."
"The reporting capabilities are very good."
"Cymulate has positively impacted our organization by helping us to take care of the efficacy and reviewing the policies and configuration."
"With Cymulate, the best features are the capacity to test the EDR or malware, anti-malware solution."
"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."
"Trend Micro TippingPoint Threat Protection System is an amazing product for me because it has three modes of use."
"The solution is very good at tracking attacks."
"The Trend Micro TippingPoint Threat Protection System performs excellently."
"The technical support staff at Trend Micro is very knowledgeable and talented."
"The monitoring is the most valuable feature."
"I would rate TTPS's stability eight out of ten."
 

Cons

"The way Cymulate works for EDR could be improved, as it drops payload and requires action from the EDR console for remediation, which can block the whole process of Cymulate execution."
"We have had some trouble with the agents."
"The reporting process requires significant improvement as it often takes longer than expected and the quality is lacking."
"The cost can be quite high, and it impacts scalability as more simulations require additional expenses."
"The product must provide consultancy for initial setup."
"I will be honest, we have it, but in the last year, I didn't maintain the system until a month ago."
"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."
"There is room for improvement in customer service and support."
"This is a good solution, but our market needs clearer deal registration process."
"Trend Micro TippingPoint Threat Protection System needs strong Spanish-language support."
"Premium support is lucrative but it is very expensive."
"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."
"Customer Service: OK, but not great ... very US centric."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Cymulate's services are expensive."
"The product is affordable."
"On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the solution's pricing a seven out of ten."
"We pay for Trend Micro TippingPoint Threat Protection System yearly. The cost increases if you add more users."
"It's an expensive product."
"TTPS is reasonably priced."
"Trend Micro TippingPoint Threat Protection System is an expensive product."
"It is an expensive solution and I would rate it three out of ten."
"The price is in a market-suitable price range. So it's not expensive, but it's also not cheap either. The price is a strong point."
"TippingPoint is not as expensive as Palo Alto but it's not as cheap as Fortigate."
