Operates in-line in the network, blocking malicious and unwanted traffic

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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The monitoring is the most valuable feature."

"What I found most valuable in Trend Micro TippingPoint Threat Protection System is its accuracy. It's the best IPS solution in the market."

"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."

"What I like about Trend Micro TippingPoint Threat Protection System is that it works okay. I don't have time to mess with the tool most of the time because I have way too many tasks to do, but Trend Micro TippingPoint Threat Protection System tells you when there's a problem, then it blocks the problem, so that's what I like most about it."

"The most valuable feature is the central command center, where we can control and manage the solution."

"The technical support on offer is very good."

"I would rate TTPS's stability eight out of ten."

"It integrates easily."

More Trend Micro TippingPoint Threat Protection System pros

"Ease of deployment across various environments."

"We had used previous products and found AlienVault centralized the logging for our security."

"It allows for a lot of out-of-the-box features: vuln scanning, HIDS/HIPS, and IDS."

"As we have to service several servers, we can manage them in a economical way, which is beneficial to our team and business."

"The asset management of nodes has been a large help in terms of being able to track applications with more detail and have changes made being monitored into one source."

"The ease of implementation is the most valuable feature."

"AT&T AlienVault USM is good for ELK Stack, the user experience is great because of its architecture. The ELK has a great performance and it has very good speed in the search and Kibana. Additionally, the visuals and dashboards and very nice and customizable."

"I can easily check (in one place) all the logs and data in relation to attacks. It also gives me an overview if a server is not configured properly."

Cons

"The solution is pretty expensive."

"Trend Micro TippingPoint Threat Protection System needs strong Spanish-language support."

"It takes a lot of time before you're connected to an engineer, so an area for improvement in Trend Micro TippingPoint Threat Protection System is the response time of its technical support team."

"It integrates well but it takes time."

"We need more integration. It would be good if Azure IPS and TippingPoint IPS and other products from Trend Micro like their DBI and IWSVA could talk between each other."

"TTPS is a bit behind in visuals, the UI, and some data elements."

"I find Trend Micro TippingPoint Threat Protection System a bit clunky, and updating it can be a pain in the neck because you need to do it from time to time, so this is what needs to be improved in it. I would also rather have an all-in-one system that does intrusion detection, protection, web filtering, and also serves as a firewall, and my company is moving to an all-in-one solution, but I'm unsure of how soon that's going to be. Trend Micro TippingPoint Threat Protection System also doesn't have enough bandwidth to handle the required traffic within my company, so it's going to be replaced."

"I would like to see this solution more lightweight and easier to install."

More Trend Micro TippingPoint Threat Protection System cons

"The dashboard could be improved as well as the level of customization."

"Search performance can be slow. The Raw Logs feature is painfully slow. And if we're talking about the newer, the Anywhere product, you can't even schedule reports on the thing. There are probably a dozen other features I'd really like to see there, but that would be one of the biggies."

"The only room for improvement I can mention is the initial installation procedures. I found that the online installation instructions for the product were missing important details, they lacked necessary steps."

"AT&T AlienVault USM can improve searchable data. It should be available for more than 90 days. If you need more than 90 days of data, you have to put a request and they give you raw data, which is not easy to search. A good addition would be to allow users to search data older than 90 days."

"Reporting is convoluted and difficult at times, although they claim to have hundreds of pre-built reports, very few of them are actually useful for anything but what the USM is doing."

"I feel that some areas of improvement would be vulnerability scanning. We use a separate product that seems to do a much better job."

"This solution could be easier to use."

"The reporting tools are a bit lacking for building reports to give directly to customers, but support has been helpful in giving our requests for new features to the development team and following up with us."
