It has excellent scalability and allows you to execute custom COCR rules, letting you fine-tune agent monitoring
I'm using Tripwire Enterprise version 9.0. In my company, thirty to forty people use Tripwire Enterprise, mainly different types of engineers, governance, risk, compliance, and cybersecurity personnel. I advise people planning to use Tripwire Enterprise to take the training because the solution has a fairly complex interface. You can do a lot of work with it, but it isn't very easy. Tripwire Enterprise is a sophisticated tool. I rate the tool an eight on a scale of one to ten because it does an excellent job of handling the unique challenges of maintaining NERC CIP compliance and monitoring industrial controls.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"What's most valuable in Tripwire Enterprise is the ability to execute custom COCR rules that lets me fine-tune how I monitor Linux and Windows agents."
"The most valuable feature is the integrity."
"Its reporting features are great. It gives you an in-depth report. Its customization is also great, and it is working fine."
"Even if you change a single word in Notepad, it will let you know whether it was added, removed, or modified."
"The most valuable feature is integrity management. I had some discussions with service providers, and they also agreed."
"We use Tripwire Enterprise as a tool to test the vulnerability of a network. That is the most valuable feature of the product for us."
"File monitoring is the most valuable feature of the solution."
"The product supports different platforms."
"The solution is easy to use, and the interface is intuitive."
"The web interface is great — very useful and user-friendly."
"Integration with threat modeling from the Metasploit and InsightIDR repositories."
"The product works well. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"InsightIDR’s ability to process millions of transactions per day, and to notify me of the most critical ones, is priceless. InsightIDR has the alerts tuned, and has the ability to quickly drill down to determine the threat level."
"Log search allows us to dive deep into aggregated logs and query all event types at once.​"
"Rapid7 is easy to use and deploy. It is a simple solution and has easy data pulling."
"The solution is very scalable in terms of the licensing model."

Cons

"Cloud monitoring could be better. It would also be better if the company followed a pay-as-you-use model."
"The deployment with certain systems can be difficult and it needs to be simplified."
"A lot of network devices need a custom integration."
"The Windows online integration license needs to be improved."
"The main way that it can be improved is through better reporting."
"The initial setup is complex."
"It needs more local support from the OEM side. It would be great if this can be improved."
"An area for improvement in Tripwire Enterprise is stability, as my company had stability issues with the last few versions of the solution. Tripwire Enterprise has been a bit buggy."
"The integration capabilities of the solution have certain shortcomings where improvements are required."
"Currently, it lacks the functionalities provided by Rapid7's User Behavior Analytics (UBA)."
"Rapid7 doesn't integrate well with all our security tools from various vendors, so we plan to switch. Many of our solutions work with Rapid7, but some do not. We are already searching for a replacement already."
"InsightIDR is only available in a cloud version. Some of our customers prefer an on-prem solution because they want to manage the security within their environment."
"I feel it would greatly benefit from more supported log sources."
"The reporting is the weakest aspect. There needs to be multi-level grouping for events (for example, group by user and destination). Right now, we can do a group by user and a separate table or group by destination. But I'd be more interested in where a person was logging into instead of who was logging in or where he was logging in."
"One of the things that could be better is digital forensics. It is there, but it can be better. They could provide more on the endpoint detection level."
"The ability to tune the collector for custom logs would greatly help."
More Rapid7 InsightIDR cons
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Cloud monitoring could be better. It could also be cheaper. It would be better if the company followed a pay-as-you-use model."
"Tripwire is more expensive than Netwrix."
"The licensing depends on the equipment, how many devices and the types of devices."
"Rapid7 InsightIDR is a cheaply priced product. On a scale of one to ten, where one is very expensive, and ten is very cheap, I rate the product's price at seven or eight."
"Licensing is by endpoint and amount of retention time (at least ours is). Default retention was one year, but we are able to push the retention further if needed. There's also a provide-your-own-S3 option for longer retention if you don't want to pay for the additional retention years in your Rapid7 agreement."
"It is more reasonably priced than other vendors."
"Rapid7 InsightIDR is priced very well and is cost-effective."
"The pricing of the solution depends on the user. But there is a yearly licensing cost."
"It is a reasonably priced solution."
"The solution has a mid-range price point in the market"
"Licensing is straightforward. If, for some reason, you don’t meet the minimum licensing requirements, there is a third-party managed service that can help."
