"It's become the pinnacle point for anything that enters the network or anything that's passing through to production to first be affected by IP360, hardened, and up to standard. For our integrity management, one was deployed in the bank about two years ago and that's still going to expand the usage and the product itself. That will go hand in hand with training and expanding the product as for where it's deployed.""Tripwire IP360 is a very stable solution.""We could manage our entire IP range with the solution."

Cons
"The biggest complaint that I have heard concerns additional platform support because right now, it only supports applications that are written in .NET and Java.""The false positive rate should be lower.""Fortify Application Defender could improve by supporting more code languages, such as GRAAS and Groovy.""The workbench is a little bit complex when you first start using it.""Support for older compilers/IDEs is lacking.""The solution could improve the time it takes to scan. When comparing it to SonarQube it does it in minutes while in Fortify Application Defender it can take hours.""The licensing can be a little complex.""I encountered many false positives for Python applications."

"We need to dedicate time and resources to keep it running.""The reporting functions can use improvement. There is room for growth because reporting functions differ a lot depending on what you're going to output. It depends on whether it's for technical or senior management and how it's interpreted. There could be growth within the reporting functionality side.""I am not very impressed by the technical support."
