Project & Program manager at Shell Grp
User-friendly and has a good blocking feature but is quite expensive
Defining the new security rules and policies sometimes becomes a challenge. Integration with other platforms becomes a challenge as well. I'd like to see more integration with other tools and technologies. XGS 7100 has an end of support for the 30th of December 2022. Many are losing support. All the products of the XGS, including XGS 3100, 4100, 5100, and 7100, support is ending in December 2022. We need to know what is the plan post that? Do we need to spend money on them? Will that be extended? There has been no communication on the website either. It's an expensive device.

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 initial setup is simple."
"IPS has helped us in understanding more about the latest threats out there and made us realize that we need to be proactive when it comes to security rather than reactive."
"Signature based analysis and preventing different types of network attacks."
"This is definitely a product that I recommend, especially for organizations that want a quick integration of data from the transaction systems, with a very low cost of operations."
"The blocking feature is great; it acts as an in-line blocker, and any malicious traffic that you see, or anything really, it can block the traffic."
"The most valuable feature is its simplicity."
"I would rate TTPS's stability eight out of ten."
"From my understanding, this is a very useful solution for the government sector."
"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."
"The IPS signatures and the IPS database that are given are much better than what is commonly available."
"It integrates easily."
"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."
"It has helped strengthen our security posture, mostly in the perimeter."
"It ships with a default profile that enables approximately 2300 filters for items that should never legitimately exist on a network, including certain attacks such as buffer overflows as well as malicious downloads."
 

Cons

"It's an expensive device."
"In the future, I would like to see a hybrid option so that we can work both on-premises and in the cloud."
"I'd like to see more integration with other tools and technologies."
"The management server can be made more user friendly and also the database configuration could be made simpler."
"In terms of scalability, I would say that it is a little on the poor side."
"The configuration of this product is complex. It could be made more user friendly."
"TTPS is a bit behind in visuals, the UI, and some data elements."
"There is room for improvement in customer service and support."
"Customer Service: AverageTechnical Support: Average"
"The solution is not as reliable as we would like."
"Trend Micro TippingPoint Threat Protection System needs strong Spanish-language support."
"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."
"This is not the cheapest option. The solution is quite expensive."
"In terms of what can be improved, I would say, integration. Integration of Trend Micro solutions with Azure. We need more integration."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The cost of operations is very low."
"It's an expensive product."
"TTPS is reasonably priced."
"We pay for Trend Micro TippingPoint Threat Protection System yearly. The cost increases if you add more users."
"TippingPoint is not as expensive as Palo Alto but it's not as cheap as Fortigate."
"Trend Micro TippingPoint Threat Protection System is an expensive product."
"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."
"It is an expensive solution and I would rate it three out of ten."
"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."
