Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"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.""Even if you change a single word in Notepad, it will let you know whether it was added, removed, or modified.""The most valuable feature is the integrity.""The product supports different platforms.""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.""Its reporting features are great. It gives you an in-depth report. Its customization is also great, and it is working fine.""The most valuable feature is integrity management. I had some discussions with service providers, and they also agreed."

"Another very important part of insightIDR is the ability to collect data from endpoint devices via agent software. With a large remote workforce, this allows visibility into the endpoints that are connected to the internet, but not to the corporate network.""During simulations or demonstrations, the tool generates alerts, providing details such as the specific application, its origin, and potential threats. For instance, it can identify if an application belongs to a known ransomware group. The system rates the threat, offering a clear detection ratio, such as 97 out of 100. It not only identifies threats but also illustrates the associated behaviors, helping us understand the potential risk to a particular endpoint.""Log search allows us to dive deep into aggregated logs and query all event types at once.​""The solution is very scalable in terms of the licensing model.""The solution is easy to use, and the interface is intuitive.""It improved my organization by building a security alerting program.""It is a very stable solution.""Very intuitive and easy to set up."

Cons
"The initial setup is complex.""A lot of network devices need a custom integration.""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.""The main way that it can be improved is through better reporting.""The Windows online integration license needs to be improved.""The deployment with certain systems can be difficult and it needs to be simplified.""Cloud monitoring could be better. It would also be better if the company followed a pay-as-you-use model."

More Fortra's Tripwire Enterprise Cons →

"They should add more configuration and security features to it.""I would like to see more development in InsightIDR towards building their SIEM solution and converting it to XDR.""The solution's XDR agents cannot compete with the XDR solutions out there yet.""I feel it would greatly benefit from more supported log sources.""The APIs can be further improved in Rapid7.""Customised alert recipients need to be added to allow better first-line action and quicker response. Configurable honeypots would be a welcome addition.""The integration capabilities of the solution have certain shortcomings where improvements are required.""Needs a better ability to customize the check within the console."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "The licensing depends on the equipment, how many devices and the types of devices."
  • "Cloud monitoring could be better. It could also be cheaper. It would be better if the company followed a pay-as-you-use model."
  • "Tripwire is more expensive than Netwrix."
  • More Fortra's Tripwire Enterprise Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "​I am sure that there are cheaper products out there, but none that meet so many of our needs whilst maintaining stability and usability.​"
  • "The team is very willing to work with companies. My suggestion is to call the Rapid7 sales department and see how they can help.​"
  • "Licensing is straightforward. If, for some reason, you don’t meet the minimum licensing requirements, there is a third-party managed service that can help."
  • "​Accurately predict your licensing counts as this is a subscription based product.​"
  • "The pricing and licensing are competitive."
  • "Licensing is by endpoint and amount of retention time (at least ours is). Default retention was one year, but we are able to push the retention further if needed. There's also a provide-your-own-S3 option for longer retention if you don't want to pay for the additional retention years in your Rapid7 agreement."
  • "It is a reasonably priced solution."
  • "It is on a yearly basis. For our own company, for about 250 users, it was 16,000 euros a year."
