We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"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.""We could manage our entire IP range with the solution."

More Fortra Tripwire IP360 Pros →

"The most valuable feature of Ixia BreakingPoint is the ransomware and malware database for simulated attacks.""We use Ixia BreakingPoint for Layer 7 traffic generation. That's what we like.""The DDoS testing module is useful and quick to use.""There is a virtual version of the product which is scaled to 100s of virtual testing blades.""It is a scalable solution.""I like that we can test cloud applications.""The solution has many protocols and options, making it very flexible."

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

More Fortra Tripwire IP360 Cons →

"I would appreciate some preconfigured network neighborhoods, which are predefined settings for testing networks.""The production traffic simulations are not realistic enough for some types of DDoS attacks.""The solution originally was hard to configure; I'm not sure if they've updated this to make it simpler, but if not, it's something that could be streamlined.""The quality of the traffic generation could be improved with Ixia BreakingPoint, i.e. to get closer to being accurate in what a real user will do.""They should improve UI mode packages for the users.""The integration could improve in Ixia BreakingPoint.""The price could be better."
