Provides decent protection for the LAN but complicated interface

We had some licensing issues with its web filtering capabilities. That's why we migrated our web filtering to Cisco Umbrella. Moreover, the interface is complicated. It's difficult to locate all the necessary menus and functions. For example, one of the many issues is with SSH. Even now, we haven't successfully opened the port to connect using SSH mode when we want to change the configuration. It's like a black box—not very open to changes and customization. It's simply not easy to configure. There are other problems, too. For example regarding Forcepoint's Websense component. We had a lot of problems managing the web settings within Websense. That's why we migrated to Cisco Umbrella for cloud-based web filtering. It's not that Forcepoint is inherently bad. The issue is that it's not user-friendly. It is not easy to use. The developers need to redesign the interface (GUI) for better management. It is very difficult to manage. For example, simple actions require too many clicks compared to FortiGate or Palo Alto. That's the main problem.

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

"The solution is very user friendly. The user interface in particular is quite nice."

"The tool is a nice product and easy to handle. The software's user interface is also good. You can easily implement remote access in the solution."

"The simplicity of the product is great. It's very easy to use, which is a compliment we get all the time in terms of feedback."

"It can expand easily."

"The security features are about the best that I've seen anywhere."

"We use a southern institution that's audited for IT security and the reporting that automatically comes off the unit makes it much easier to meet compliance standards and makes it easier as far as the amount of time that has to be spent to compile that information. If you get your reporting set up correctly when you initially set it up, you just select the one you want and hit print. The auditing trail on it is the best feature."

"We are using the FortiGate 100D series. VPN, firewall, anti-malware, OTM, and intrusion prevention are useful features."

"Some of the valuable features are the firewall, IPS, web filter, and gateway capabilities. Additionally, it is easy to use and flexible."

More Fortinet FortiGate pros

"It is a stable solution, and there are no issues so far."

"One of the most valuable features is having the ability to cluster multiple firewalls even if they are different versions."

"The most valuable feature is the console management."

"Technical support has been quite helpful in the past."

"Forcepoint's stability is satisfactory, for the most part."

"It is a scalable solution."

"When comparing this solution to others this one has better reporting, user management, and is easy to use."

"The solution offers sandboxing, which can be integrated at any time."

More Forcepoint Next Generation Firewall pros

"The solution's IDS functionality filters the traffic and blocks malware by blocking the connections."

"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."

"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."

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

"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 technical support on offer is very good."

"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."

"What I found most valuable in Trend Micro TippingPoint Threat Protection System is its accuracy. It's the best IPS solution in the market."

More Trend Micro TippingPoint Threat Protection System pros

Cons

"It needs to improve its ISP load balancing."

"The Wi-Fi controller needs a lot of improvement."

"There are just some services that aren't available. For example, the Ethernet or point-to-point protocols. They could add these services to their product offering - especially services for ISPs."

"One issue that I have had is that sometimes I need to monitor the traffic, so I need to filter it according to the user and which user is using it the most. I experience a bottleneck most of the time, particularly at the peak time when the number of contracts and users are at maximum."

"We'd like more management across other integrations."

"In terms of what could be improved, the SD-WAN is quite difficult, because if you install the new box, 15 is okay, but if you change from an old configuration, if there is already configuration and a policy when you change to SD-WAN, you must change the whole policy that you see in the interface."

"The reports are very basic."

"The solution could be more user friendly."

More Fortinet FortiGate cons

"They need to work on stability, it has not been the best in our experience."

"When it comes to a complex deployment, the rules, firewall features, SD-WAN core features, and auto-scaling can cause the device to be not quite stable."

"Something that I've noticed that Forcepoint lacks, is the training that they offer to their end-customers"

"Configuration is not easy because it has an old-fashioned interface. The configuration interface is highly complex, and it's been the same for years. They have to change the interface."

"Making this solution easier to use would be an improvement."

"Next Generation Firewall's configuration could be improved."

"They should have a GUI on the product itself, not a separate management tool to be used on the management server or on a server to be used to manage the file. It should be all in one device. The device should be controlled through its own GUI. They also have to improve the learning center and the documents as the documents don't really help."

"Forcepoint would be improved if there were more training available."

More Forcepoint Next Generation Firewall cons

"I would like to see this solution more lightweight and easier to install."

"TTPS is a bit behind in visuals, the UI, and some data elements."

"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."

"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."

"There is room for improvement in customer service and support."

"The firewall rules are limited."

"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."

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

More Trend Micro TippingPoint Threat Protection System cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I would rate the pricing a five out of ten"

"It is a good product from a price perspective versus functionality."

"Compared to other firewall products, it's a little cheaper in terms of pricing."

"Fortinet FortiGate allows you to purchase licenses for hardware and software."

"If you purchase a one-year subscription with the hardware and then you want to renew for the second year, it is very costly."
