BS
Large account Manager at Softcell Technologies Limited
Has offered reliable threat protection and detailed network insights but could expand features beyond existing capabilities
The best features of Trellix Intrusion Prevention System include advanced ATP (Advanced Threat Protection), which uses signatures, behavior analysis, and machine learning to stop zero-day exploits and malware advanced persistent threats (APTs). They track and collect data from APTs, which allows them to track malicious files entering the environment. The system offers inline prevention and real-time automatic blocking of malicious packets before they reach the network. It integrates with the Trellix ecosystem and provides application visibility and control. The solution provides deep insight into network traffic, applications, and protocols for better information. All packets coming through the application are analyzed and reported. They share intelligence updates regularly to protect from different malicious files and sector-specific threats. It supports both on-premise and cloud environments.
Rejwana Rahman - PeerSpot reviewer
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 best feature of the Trellix Intrusion Prevention System is the rules that Trellix provides, I think that's the best value from IPS."
"McAfee NSP is much more stable than Cisco."
"Great monitoring feature."
"It has a lot of functions, such as firewall. We are administrators, and we create some rules to protect our network. We also monitor the traffic in and out and have disk encryption on-premises. When we detect malware, we scan for the virus on the PC. We can then delete or block the malware."
"Overall the solution is very good. It offers great protection and gives us a good overview of what is on the network."
"The threat intelligence updates are very accurate."
"There's a good dashboard you can drill down into. It helps you easily locate intrusions and the source of attacks."
"The best features of Trellix Intrusion Prevention System include advanced ATP (Advanced Threat Protection), which uses signatures, behavior analysis, and machine learning to stop zero-day exploits and malware advanced persistent threats (APTs)."
"The Trend Micro TippingPoint Threat Protection System performs excellently."
"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."
"Very clear on the findings, great detection features"
"The solution's IDS functionality filters the traffic and blocks malware by blocking the connections."
"The monitoring is the most valuable feature."
"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."
"Customer Service: ExcellentTechnical Support: Excellent"
"The solution is very good at tracking attacks."
 

Cons

"The management component could be simplified."
"In terms of high-security attacks, not all of them are developed. You cannot do a rule that includes all high severities."
"Integration with Global Thereat Intelligence could be better. Also, I think management solutions are end of life now at McAfee. Network threat analyzer may be used for endpoint quarantines. Integration between these sides, as well as endpoint APO, will help you quarantine the risky endpoints."
"The management console needs to be less complex and easier to navigate."
"The Network Security Managers could be more stable, agile, and work faster. When it comes to instability, there is room for improvement."
"The platform’s GUI could be the latest."
"There are limited resources for configuration guidance."
"The system isn't fool-proof. Sometimes, based on the network or other reasons, McAfee cannot detect the actual attack."
"It integrates well but it takes time. The integration process should be faster."
"An area for improvement in Trend Micro TippingPoint Threat Protection System is the complexity of its interface."
"The solution is pretty expensive."
"This is a good solution, but our market needs clearer deal registration process."
"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."
"In terms of what can be improved, I would say, integration. Integration of Trend Micro solutions with Azure. We need more integration."
"Your IPS is only as good as the threat intelligence behind it. TippingPoint should be able to combine ArcSight into IP blocking services, not wait for Fortify to pull ArcSight."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

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