Hamed Wasel

Sr. Security Network Engineer at Children's Cancer Hospital - Egypt 57357

For zero-day attacks, the signature is updated well

The technical support is very helpful. When we open ticket with them, they call us immediately. Their tickets don't circulate to another team because they solve it. They can follow up with us and provide feedback. This is totally helpful. There are a lot of implementations in Egypt. They could increase their offices there.

Corey Cole

Service Coordinator - Technology Security at a government with 10,001+ employees

The solution helps users to manage their entire IP range, but it's unreliable and very expensive to maintain

Only the administrator was using the product. He used it to read reports as part of our compliance programs. It wasn't heavily used by a lot of users. The tool comes in at a large scale, and we tried to scale it down. The scaling did not apply to us. It was neither difficult nor easy. I rate the scalability a five out of ten. We had some challenges while scaling it down. It could do 10,000 devices, and we wanted to use it for ten devices. The process was difficult and expensive. We did not need the product anymore.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution is very good at preventing intrusions. You can definitely rely on this solution to cover your security."

"The most valuable features of this solution are the security aspects."

"It is extremely stable, and can expand as per our needs due to its stability."

"The dashboard is very simple. It has an easy to use interface."

"We use it to protect files and to prevent users from browsing them while they are being used."

"The biggest thing, for us lately, has been their cloud tools. They're like Intercept X from Sophos, where they'll test for ransomware. Fortinet has the same sort of set up with their cloud devices. So your firewall picks up something suspicious, it sends it up to the cloud for analysis. We also have their in-house antivirus. Having different antivirus checkpoints throughout the network is a good thing as well."

"We could manage our entire IP range with the solution."

"Tripwire IP360 is a very stable solution."

"It's become the pinnacle point for anything that enters the network or anything that's passing through to production to first be affected by IP360, hardened, and up to standard. For our integrity management, one was deployed in the bank about two years ago and that's still going to expand the usage and the product itself. That will go hand in hand with training and expanding the product as for where it's deployed."

Cons

"We had some issues trying to fix some critical bugs, such as the SSL encryption."

"They need to improve the web filter to make it more user-friendly."

"Some use case analyses could be improved."

"I would like better APIs and integration with other products, like Python and SQL."

"The pricing of this solution is a little bit on the high side and can be improved."

"I'm an old-school guy. I really don't like web GUI interfaces. They're always slow and laggy and their design is restricted, whereas a binary deployment for an admin tool is always faster, easier, more flexible. I would like that kind of functionality from Fortinet."

"The reporting functions can use improvement. There is room for growth because reporting functions differ a lot depending on what you're going to output. It depends on whether it's for technical or senior management and how it's interpreted. There could be growth within the reporting functionality side."

"I am not very impressed by the technical support."

"We need to dedicate time and resources to keep it running."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is not expensive."

"In the licensing model, the licenses are a little bit expensive."

"The cost needs to be reduced."

"It's relatively inexpensive in comparison to everything else that has the same functionality. If you're looking at SonicWall or if you're looking at WatchGuard, their prices are about a third higher with relatively the same functionality."

"It is not costly."

"I believe the price compares well within the market."

"The product was expensive for us."
