"I would rate TTPS's stability eight out of ten."
"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."
"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."
"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."

"One area for improvement is the performance on bandwidth demands for smaller devices, as well as better web filtering."
"I don't like that anything more than very basic reporting is not included."
"It could use more templates for third-party site-to-site VPN setups other than FortiGate and Cisco."
"The solution lacks multi-language support."
"I would like reporting to be improved and should offer a lot more tools to monitor the products."
"In the balance between links feature normally you can just choose one option to balance. It would be better for the solution to have more than one option, preferably three."
"One of the problems I was having was with user mapping, and it is an issue for which I have escalated tickets with Fortinet support."
"The process of configuring firewall rules appears excessively complex."
"We feel the product's technical support could be better, as this relates to the solution itself, to the installation of the product, and to having a proper understanding of the case."
"This solution would be improved with the inclusion of custom reporting."
"Forcepoint Next Generation Firewall could change its interface, allowing standard or direct connect modes to be configured."
"The optimization is not really ready. If you want very good optimization, you have to add it to the network."
"They should have a local vendor who can provide support. Most of the support is overseas, so the time zones can be a problem."
"The company should update the URL filtering database. They need to enhance the URL filtering and make it easier to customize."
"Something that I've noticed that Forcepoint lacks, is the training that they offer to their end-customers"
"Making this solution easier to use would be an improvement."
"An area for improvement in Trend Micro TippingPoint Threat Protection System is the complexity of its interface."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"TTPS is a bit behind in visuals, the UI, and some data elements."
"The solution should provide the possibility to mix traffic and the traffic's geographical source to have improved functionality."
