The anomaly baseline formation links the network, then anything that goes away from the norm is also flagged

Pros

"Ir's signature-based. We are also using the anomaly baseline formation, where it links the network, then anything that goes away from the norm is also flagged. Those are the two most valuable features. "

Cons

"It has room for improvement when it comes to integrating machine learning and AI into it where even if you don't have a baseline that is of length for anomaly detection, it could do more like an AI style machine learning. It learns on its own."

Auto-scaling, powerful software fingerprint identification, and good technical support

Pros

"I think their fingerprints are good in terms of how they whitelist and blacklist."

Cons

"The only thing I think they may need to improve on a little bit is identifying software more correctly when you do network discovery."

It gives you visibility into what your users are doing on the Internet

Pros

"NGIPS lets you map web requests to a specific user to determine who is downloading files and what they are accessing. You can use it to identify users downloading malware or track time wasters using Facebook or something like that. It gives you visibility into what your users are doing on the Internet. "

Cons

"The price is a little high. It's hard to find solutions that are easy on the budget and strike a balance between affordability and features. "

Offers a cheap way of terminating internet circuits so that you don't use expensive routers but GUI needs improvement

Pros

"The cost is the most valuable feature. "

Cons

"The GUI could be improved. The pain point is really only focused toward the security engineer who configures it and the operation engineer who manages it."
