"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."
"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."

"It is my "security person" looking at irregularities and letting me know when something has occurred."
"It has powerful threat detection, incident response, and compliance management."
"The vulnerability scanning is helpful to identify the areas that need patching or fixes installed."
"We had used previous products and found AlienVault centralized the logging for our security."
"On any given day I could give you a different answer regarding the most valuable features of the product. The feature that is most important is the fact that it has a lot of features, that it's not just a log collection and correlation system, that it has a lot of other components built in. The bundle of features is really the killer feature."
"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."
"Easy to use, scalable, stable, and very intuitive platform that provides protection against security threats."
"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."
"An area for improvement in Trend Micro TippingPoint Threat Protection System is the complexity of its interface."
"The solution should provide the possibility to mix traffic and the traffic's geographical source to have improved functionality."
"Trend Micro TippingPoint Threat Protection System needs strong Spanish-language support."
"I would like to see this solution more lightweight and easier to install."
"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."
"TTPS is a bit behind in visuals, the UI, and some data elements."
"The firewall rules are limited."
More Trend Micro TippingPoint Threat Protection System Cons →
"The solution is a bit complicated. It could be simplified quite a bit."
"As this software is in the cloud, you do not have control on updates and general changes which are happening."
"Pay attention to false-positive event automatic correlations."
"More complimentary training needs to be done for use with this tool. If you get into a bind, then it will cost you."
"I think plugin management should be self-service on AlienVault USM. The other product is self-service but on the USM side. You have to submit a ticket then AT&T creates and updates the plugins."
"It would be nice to see some machine learning and monitoring of the configuration in network devices."
"The reporting aspect could be improved. While there are a lot of different options available, there are still pieces which are missing."
"It was easy on PoC, but when we got to the product it was different story. We had to learn the product again and got feeling that the PoC was a different product."
