Price is a significant factor that requires attention to enhance the popularity of Tipping Point among mid-sized data centres. Currently, Tipping Point is primarily adopted by sizable data centres, and smaller defenders might find it financially challenging to acquire. Recognizing this, efforts are underway to potentially introduce diverse models with varying capacities. This adjustment aims to ensure that a broader range of data sizes can benefit from the solution.

Also, the continuous evolution of Tipping Point is evident in its features, particularly the personalized dashboard and related aspects.

Right now, we are stuck with an older platform, 1400 N. It's more like a software base, so bypassing is done through software. If you go with the newer system, for example, the 4-40s, that's a hardware-based bypass, so those are more powerful. It has more throughput.

The initial setup is not straightforward.

The solution is pretty expensive.

The way we can build the filters could be improved. The solution should provide the possibility to mix traffic parameters with traffic's geographical source to have improved functionality able to differentiate the filtering strategies also on the country of the users. The solution’s pricing could be made cheaper.

An area for improvement in Trend Micro TippingPoint Threat Protection System is the complexity of its interface.

The improvement should focus more on probably like an EDR platform. On the EDR platform, instead of just mainly being AI-driven, they could actually utilize the peer's kind of data coming in from different customers and apply that to the knowledge base.

The research team can be improved. They are dedicated in some countries. If we talk about Pakistan, it is going bigger in Trend Micro. So, they should have a research team in Pakistan.

The solution could be cheaper if you have to make a place in the market. You have to be different from other vendors.

TTPS is a bit behind in visuals, the UI, and some data elements. It's also a Java-based application, which is horrible - they need to get rid of it.

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.

Per the report from Gartner, Trend Micro TippingPoint Threat Protection System is top 2 in the antivirus category and top 3 in the IPS category, so I don't have any areas I want to improve, except for the response time of the technical support team. It could be faster. It takes a lot of time before you're connected to an engineer.

Trend Micro TippingPoint Threat Protection System needs strong Spanish-language support. 

In addition, the user interface was built with Java and does not allow you to see all your options on the monitor. A new interface, perhaps one built on HTML 5, would be great.

Your IPS is only as good as the threat intelligence behind it. TippingPoint should be able to combine ArcSight into IP blocking services, not wait for Fortify to pull ArcSight.

It integrates well but it takes time. The integration process should be faster.

In terms of what can be improved, I would say, integration. Integration of Trend Micro solutions with Azure. We need more integration. It would be good if Azure IPS and TippingPoint IPS and other products from Trend Micro like their DBI and IWSVA could talk between each other.

That integration should be increased so that human integration could be decreased. If it could communicate with other products, it would be great.

If you see a pay-meter firewall at Checkpoint, or Palo Alto and you're using Trend Micro, and your perimeter firewall is from some other vendor, maybe you are using anti-DDoS solution or maybe you are using some other solution from some other provider. If the pinpoint can be integrated with other vendors, it would be great. I'm not talking about each and every brand available in the market, but at least, with some reputable vendors like Palo Alto or Checkpoint. It would be great if that integration actually gives us a consolidated report, which helps us to monitor from a single point by eliminating duplicates.

Our customers don't understand the process whereby we generate and supply them with license keys. They would like to have the license keys available out of the box.

This documentation for this solution could be improved.

The solution is not as reliable as we would like. There are problems when we work in HA, high-availability. We have encountered it several times and it's been a disaster for that sort of device.

Also, the firewall rules are limited.

• Advanced DDoS protection (not only SYN flood)
• Custom reporting
• Dashboard on-line alerting about current attacks and their sources
