We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"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.""We could manage our entire IP range with the solution.""Tripwire IP360 is a very stable solution."

More Fortra Tripwire IP360 Pros →

"The most valuable feature is the endpoint protection system.""The most valuable feature is the centralized console, which can handle different products that we have.""The ability to finely control permissions and restrictions on servers or assets through a customizable rule set is a key strength.""Good file integrity monitoring features.""The real strength lies in its straightforward approach, offering just two key policies: prevention and detection.""The monitoring in the management console allows us to find out what is going wrong, and it gets reports even before the user reports it.""The granularity of applying the policies is valuable.""The tool will then detect any anomalies, such as an intruder who has breached the network, which can trigger the system lockdown feature if it's enabled and meets the defined threshold."

Cons
"We need to dedicate time and resources to keep it running.""I am not very impressed by the technical support.""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."

"There is room for improvement in enhancing its graphical user interface for a more user-friendly experience.""The support is very bad. They're not fast at all. Trend Micro's support is much better.""A user or administrator making the policy in the DCS should have a very thorough knowledge of the operating system or policy making. You have to be very specific about the data structure.""Could have better reporting capabilities and better support.""It would be advantageous if Symantec or Broadcom, given the rebranding, could simplify the process, enabling users to leverage the antivirus functionality more easily.""This solution clashes with Microsoft defender, which results in performance degradation on the machine.""They need to develop a more flexible product that can be scaled such that it fits well into a small business or a bigger, enterprise-level solution.""The product blocks certain processes, even after allowlisting them."
