Great for detection and access with the capabilities of defining specific rules
Support is the biggest area for improvement. Check Point is responsive, however, their support agents seem to be very siloed in their ability and/or product knowledge. It takes time and escalation to get through most tickets as they are passed from one group to another and then back again. We are able to navigate our support issues with the aid of our account team, so I want to underscore that support is indeed responsive. However, the processes support techs have to follow seem to be the root cause of the support response issues.

Stable, accurate, and helps prevent attacks
I'm using the latest version of Trend Micro TippingPoint Threat Protection System. My company keeps upgrading the version. Deploying and maintaining Trend Micro TippingPoint Threat Protection System only requires one person. A thousand people use the solution within my company. There's no plan to increase its usage. My advice to anyone looking to use Trend Micro TippingPoint Threat Protection System is to have a consultant ready for the complexity of deployment. My rating for the solution is nine out of ten.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Check Point helps reduce downtime and costs associated with detected cyberattacks and can block those threats to ensure protection from any significant damage that may be caused within the organization."
"The solution's IPS functionality and firewall functionality are the solution's most valuable features."
"The most valuable feature is that it protects us against hundreds of different attack vectors, like ransomware. The protection is always being triggered. People try to access websites that are categorized as malware, so when the users do a DNS request for the IP of those malware websites, the IPS Blade replaces the real IP of the website that is malware with a bogus IP. The user gets an IP that doesn't exist and when he tries to access, it won't work."
"I can generate reports for management automatically based on the threats of the last day/week/whatever is needed."
"Check Point IPS manages risk categories very well and accordingly helps us protect each of our devices in real-time."
"Among its great features is the ability to detect outgoing malware or extraction of compromised data and stop it, thus safeguarding us by isolating the network, the equipment, or the identity of the affected users."
"The product's initial setup is easy."
"It is a stable solution. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"The IPS signatures and the IPS database that are given are much better than what is commonly available."
"It integrates easily."
"The monitoring is the most valuable feature."
"You don't need any hardware because the solution is on the cloud. I like that Trend Micro TippingPoint Threat Protection System is easy to install and manage."
"The solution's IDS functionality filters the traffic and blocks malware by blocking the connections."
"What I found most valuable in Trend Micro TippingPoint Threat Protection System is its accuracy. It's the best IPS solution in the market."
"The technical support on offer is very good."
"What I like about Trend Micro TippingPoint Threat Protection System is that it works okay. I don't have time to mess with the tool most of the time because I have way too many tasks to do, but Trend Micro TippingPoint Threat Protection System tells you when there's a problem, then it blocks the problem, so that's what I like most about it."
 

Cons

"There is no standalone IPS appliance available."
"The cost is a bit high but it is worth it."
"I am not aware of a preview channel or some repository to have a preview on upcoming signatures, however, this would be nice to have."
"The service that we want to see in the future is a capacity to segment the IPS services by equipment."
"The installation documentation has room for improvement."
"This is an expensive solution, higher than other products on the market."
"Enhancements are necessary for the proficiency of notifications in the event of a Social Security incident, whether through email or alternative channels such as SMS."
"The solution needs enhanced reporting. The reporting on Cisco Stealthwatch and Darktrace is much bigger. The visibility that they grant for the filtering capabilities over large infrastructures are far superior."
"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."
"TTPS is a bit behind in visuals, the UI, and some data elements."
"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."
"There is room for improvement in customer service and support."
"The solution should provide the possibility to mix traffic and the traffic's geographical source to have improved functionality."
"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."
"I would like to see this solution more lightweight and easier to install."
"It takes a lot of time before you're connected to an engineer, so an area for improvement in Trend Micro TippingPoint Threat Protection System is the response time of its technical support team."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing for Check Point IPS is competitive and brings good value for the money."
"I rate the product price an eight on a scale of one to ten, where one means it is very cheap and ten means it is very expensive. The product is expensive."
"I think that the price of support is around $40,000 USD or $50,000 USD per year."
"My company pays for the yearly licensing of Check Point IPS. It is a very expensive tool."
"Enabling IPS does not require any additional license purchase from OEM, as it comes by default with the NGFW bundle."
"I give the price of the solution a five out of ten."
"The pricing model can be more competitive."
"The price of this product should be reduced."
"We pay for Trend Micro TippingPoint Threat Protection System yearly. The cost increases if you add more users."

"It is an expensive solution and I would rate it three out of ten."
"On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the solution's pricing a seven out of ten."
"TippingPoint is not as expensive as Palo Alto but it's not as cheap as Fortigate."
"Trend Micro TippingPoint Threat Protection System is an expensive product."
"It's an expensive product."
