We performed a comparison between Cisco NGIPS and Trend Micro TippingPoint Threat Protection System based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Intrusion Detection and Prevention Software (IDPS) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The most valuable features are the intrusion detection ones."
"We use the solution for cybersecurity purposes. The tool helps us to identify anomalies that come from internal or external networks."
"I like how NGIPS has everything in one console."
"Good IPS and VirtualBox features."
"Ir's signature-based. We are also using the anomaly baseline formation, where it links the network, then anything that goes away from the norm is also flagged. Those are the two most valuable features."
"NGIPS lets you map web requests to a specific user to determine who is downloading files and what they are accessing. You can use it to identify users downloading malware or track time wasters using Facebook or something like that. It gives you visibility into what your users are doing on the Internet."
"The technical support is impressive."
"The solution is very stable."
"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."
"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 most valuable feature is the central command center, where we can control and manage the solution."
"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."
"The technical support on offer is very good."
"The solution's IDS functionality filters the traffic and blocks malware by blocking the connections."
"The IPS signatures and the IPS database that are given are much better than what is commonly available."
"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 room for improvement when it comes to integrating machine learning and AI into it where even if you don't have a baseline that is of length for anomaly detection, it could do more like an AI style machine learning. It learns on its own."
"Cisco can do better on their documentation because the product is really hard to understand."
"The aspect of private party integration solutions could be improved."
"Multi-internet line load balancing should be supported."
"We don't like its licensing model. It has separate licensing for all the features. For instance, to get URL filtering, you need to buy another license. Every feature set seems to require another license. Unless you purchase them all upfront, you find some surprises and realize that you can't do that because you need another license. Its logging isn't quite as good as it used to be in our previous solution. We used to have Cisco ASA, and we could view the logs a lot easier than NGIPS (also known as Firepower). We saw real-time logging, but we don't see that as much in Firepower."
"If there was a software-based solution for scaling up then it would be much better."
"In the next release I would like to see better reporting. I also find it's hard to act on the data it gives you."
"The only thing I think they may need to improve on a little bit is identifying software more correctly when you do network discovery."
"It integrates well but it takes time."
"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."
"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."
"The solution should provide the possibility to mix traffic and the traffic's geographical source to have improved functionality."
"An area for improvement in Trend Micro TippingPoint Threat Protection System is the complexity of its interface."
"The firewall rules are limited."
"TTPS is a bit behind in visuals, the UI, and some data elements."
"The solution is pretty expensive."
