We performed a comparison between Check Point IPS and Fortra's Tripwire Enterprise 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 possibility of customizing the rules is great."
"The reports are well written so that you can understand what type of attack has occurred, the originating IP address, and other details."
"Protection in real-time is very good. It helps us detect things on time and make decisions to improve perimeter security."
"The most valuable feature is that it protects us against hundreds of different attack vectors, like ransomware. The protection is always being triggered. People try to access websites that are categorized as malware, so when the users do a DNS request for the IP of those malware websites, the IPS Blade replaces the real IP of the website that is malware with a bogus IP. The user gets an IP that doesn't exist and when he tries to access, it won't work."
"It is easy to configure."
"The number of the IPS protections is amazing - after the latest update I see more than 11000 in the SmartConsole."
"IPS can protect our organization with any old vulnerabilities or if any vulnerability detected minutes ago IPS can protect us as per our configured policy."
"Some of the features for views and visualization are already predefined as default files."
"The most valuable feature is the integrity."
"Even if you change a single word in Notepad, it will let you know whether it was added, removed, or modified."
"What's most valuable in Tripwire Enterprise is the ability to execute custom COCR rules that lets me fine-tune how I monitor Linux and Windows agents."
"File monitoring is the most valuable feature of the solution."
"The most valuable feature is integrity management. I had some discussions with service providers, and they also agreed."
"We use Tripwire Enterprise as a tool to test the vulnerability of a network. That is the most valuable feature of the product for us."
"The product supports different platforms."
"Its reporting features are great. It gives you an in-depth report. Its customization is also great, and it is working fine."
"There is a performance impact on the NGFW post-enabling the IPS blade/Module, which can even lead to downtime if IPS starts to monitor or block high-volume traffic."
"Sometimes Check Point documentation is not always updated, which is why when some implementations change, it generates confusion about details."
"Check Point IPS' main problem is it is mostly software based. The performance is dependent on the CPU power, and the limited number of patterns."
"Sometimes protections are 'aggregated' into a single threat name when you look at the logs. I would prefer to see all protections named individually (for example, right now, 'web enforcement' is a category that contains several signatures)."
"When entering, it always takes a long time to load."
"I would like to have the possibility of adding features to this IPS solution in the future."
"Sometimes we had false positives where packages that were legitimate for us were blocked and we had to unblock them through exceptions."
"Despite being a blade, this is expensive."
"A lot of network devices need a custom integration."
"The Windows online integration license needs to be improved."
"The initial setup is complex."
"It needs more local support from the OEM side. It would be great if this can be improved."
"An area for improvement in Tripwire Enterprise is stability, as my company had stability issues with the last few versions of the solution. Tripwire Enterprise has been a bit buggy."
"Cloud monitoring could be better. It would also be better if the company followed a pay-as-you-use model."
"The main way that it can be improved is through better reporting."
"The deployment with certain systems can be difficult and it needs to be simplified."
