Featured Reviews

AbdulAbdul - PeerSpot reviewer
Cyber Security Engineer at a tech consulting company with 11-50 employees
Real-time protection has reduced incident response and provides proactive zero-day blocking
In my view, TrendAI Tipping Point can be improved in a few areas. Based on client feedback and industry reviews, several areas can be improved. The first is performance under heavy loads. Some clients and users have reported that the system can experience latency and slower network performance when traffic volumes are exceptionally high. The second is user interface modernization. The platform is a Java-based application that is often described as clunky and visually outdated, so users are requesting a more modern, streamlined web interface. The third is scalability and hardware cost, for example, the upgrade requirements. The reason I would give TrendAI Tipping Point an eight out of 10 comes down to a few points: the documentation, the initial support, the third-party integration complexity, and the user interface. These are the couple of points I have detected.
Mahesh Bhadoriya - PeerSpot reviewer
Technical Manager at Allianz Cloud Private Limited
Micro segmentation has strengthened zero trust security and isolates production from test environments
The advantages of VMware NSX include its micro-segmentation for internal security at the firewall and VM levels, which is very powerful and helps us comply with complete Zero Trust security models. We are able to achieve this and configure network level virtualization with no dependency on VLANs. Micro-segmentation helps improve our security significantly. We are not totally dependent upon our physical upfront firewall, and it makes sense to configure everything using VMware NSX, leading to multiple improvements in our organization. We moved from traditional networking such as VLANs from the firewall and switches to VMware NSX segmentation. We achieve one firewall per VLAN and can stop lateral movement such as ransomware control. The Zero Trust model is the main functionality and architecture it offers, allowing application isolation, such as having a separate production and test environment. Consistent networking and security policies across different environments have a major and very positive impact on our business operations, allowing us to achieve the security posture we want with compliance and regulations.
