Very effective for malware and signature-based anomalies but stability needs improvement
Our company uses the solution for data functions in banking. It is a backend solution in the server center.  We analyze traffic and adapt configurations or customize policies to the environment of the IPS itself.  The solution very effectively provides malware protection and signature-based…

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

"It is salable and technically sound."
"The security intelligence in the product is the best feature and give us all the information that we need in our network."
"We primarily use this solution as an application filter and for IPS."
"The initial setup wasn't complex or complicated."
"Cisco NGIPS is working well overall with our current needs."
"This solution has helped improve productivity and detect attacks before they happen."
"Cisco NGIPS is a stable tool...The technical support provided by Cisco NGIPS is okay."
"We have found the IPS detection to be a very valuable feature of this solution. It is easy to use to stop policy violations."
"It integrates easily."
"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."
"A standout feature of TippingPoint is its strong integration with various solutions. It stands out as one of the leading network Intrusion Prevention Systems (IPS) in the current market and is known for its seamless integration with other solutions. For instance, when it identifies a potential threat within the traffic stream, it meticulously analyzes the data. Even in multilayer security scenarios, Tipping Point's network IPS can serve as a bypass for the basic firewall. If a threat is identified by Tipping Point, it promptly shares this information with the other systems. This ensures that they're updated and can employ the necessary solutions from their signature databases. The entire network gets safeguarded automatically. This integration extends to components like security and FX. This linkage streamlines our operations, offering a consolidated point of control for managing threats effectively."
"I would rate TTPS's stability eight out of ten."
"The solution's IDS functionality filters the traffic and blocks malware by blocking the connections."
"The IPS signatures and the IPS database that are given are much better than what is commonly available."
"Trend Micro TippingPoint Threat Protection System is very stable. In addition, the provider gives notice of any changes well in advance, which is important for planning updates."
"What I found most valuable in Trend Micro TippingPoint Threat Protection System is its accuracy. It's the best IPS solution in the market."
 

Cons

"Considering different attack vectors, using AI to understand the behavior or features of network-level intrusions and protecting against zero-day attacks would be beneficial."
"My opinion is that this solution should improve the pricing."
"The file trajectory, the trace in contamination files, could be improved."
"What I don't like about Cisco recently is they keep changing the names, which makes it hard for customers and sometimes even us as engineers to know what is the solution they are speaking about. For example, with AMP, now they call it Secure Endpoint and I don't know if in the next couple of years they're going to change it to something else. They should keep the names the same."
"I would like to see a more user-friendly interface."
"I think that some initiation scripts might be helpful because they would make the configuration easier and more user-friendly for customers."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"TTPS is a bit behind in visuals, the UI, and some data elements."
"An area for improvement in Trend Micro TippingPoint Threat Protection System is the complexity of its interface."
"The firewall rules are limited."
"Trend Micro TippingPoint Threat Protection System needs strong Spanish-language support."
"The solution is pretty expensive."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price for additional throughput is the highest in the industry."
"The licensing can be billed annually or in multi-year contracts such as three, four, or five years."
"I would rate the pricing four out of 10."
"Cisco products are not cheap and this solution is no different."
"The pricing could be improved. Our customers have a yearly license."
"Cisco NGIPS is an expensive product."
"It is highly priced but competitive regarding features and support services."

"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."
"The price is in a market-suitable price range. So it's not expensive, but it's also not cheap either. The price is a strong point."
"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."
