Cisco Sourcefire SNORT vs Trend Micro TippingPoint Threat Protection System comparison

"The solution is rather easy to use."

"It has a huge rate of protection. It's has a low level of positives and a huge rate of threat protection. It's easy to deploy and easy to implement. It has an incredible price rate compared to similar solutions."

"The most valuable feature of this solution is the filtering."

"The solution is stable."

"Cisco technical support is unbeatable. It offers a premium service every time."

"Cisco Sourcefire SNORT is easy to configure and the reporting is great. It's also very user-friendly."

"The product is inexpensive compared to leading brands such as Palo Alto or Fortinet."

"It is quite an intelligent product."

"For intrusion detection and mitigation, it has helped us in sort of known signatures and all sorts of things. So, we're very happy with the engine. That's the work."

"It integrates easily."

"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."

"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."

"The most valuable feature is the central command center, where we can control and manage the solution."

"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."

"The monitoring is the most valuable feature."

"The IPS signatures and the IPS database that are given are much better than what is commonly available."

"I don't think this solution is a time-based control system, because one cannot filter traffic based on time."

"With the next release, I would like to see some PBR, so that you can do the configuration with the features."

"Performance needs improvement."

"To be frank, the product is not really stable, although they're working on that. Whenever I go to the technical community with an issue, they will usually say that it is not there yet, but the technical team are working on it. The issues are not insolvable. I think they should just keep working on the product to make sure that the product can become very stable. The technical support is great. I appreciate that. We have a lot of communities supporting Firepower now, so you can find help for whatever issue you have."

"We are unhappy with technical support for this solution, and it is not as professional as what we typically expect from Cisco."

"The solution's approach to managing traffic blocking is confusing and impractical."

"The cloud can be improved."

"I did not experience any pain points that required improvement. Maybe a couple of false-positives, but that's about it."

"It integrates well but it takes time."

"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."

"The solution is pretty expensive."

"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."

"The firewall rules are limited."

"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."

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

"We have a three-year license for this solution."

"I don't know the exact amount, but most of the time when I go to a company with a proposition, they will say, "This thing that you are selling is good, but it's expensive. Why don't you propose something like FortiGate, Check Point, or Palo Alto?" Cisco device are expensive compared to other devices."

"The cost is per port and can be expensive but it does include training and support for three years."

"Licensing for this solution is paid on a yearly basis."

"If one is an extremely expensive product, and ten is cheap, I rate the tool's price as a five."

"It's an expensive product."

"It is an expensive solution and I would rate it three out of ten."

"Trend Micro TippingPoint Threat Protection System is an expensive product."

"We pay for Trend Micro TippingPoint Threat Protection System yearly. The cost increases if you add more users."

"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."

"TTPS is reasonably priced."

"TippingPoint is not as expensive as Palo Alto but it's not as cheap as Fortigate."
