It has excellent scalability and allows you to execute custom COCR rules, letting you fine-tune agent monitoring

I'm using Tripwire Enterprise version 9.0. In my company, thirty to forty people use Tripwire Enterprise, mainly different types of engineers, governance, risk, compliance, and cybersecurity personnel. I advise people planning to use Tripwire Enterprise to take the training because the solution has a fairly complex interface. You can do a lot of work with it, but it isn't very easy. Tripwire Enterprise is a sophisticated tool. I rate the tool an eight on a scale of one to ten because it does an excellent job of handling the unique challenges of maintaining NERC CIP compliance and monitoring industrial controls.

Robust, reliable, simple to install and good technical support

We are attempting to improve the use of URL filtering beyond threat protection. I'm not sure what the remaining threat protection features are off the top of my head. But beyond that, we use URL filtering. We have three approved cases for using external dynamic lists that are stored in a bucket repository. Then, for each URL site that needs to be whitelisted, we add it to the external dynamic list in order to gain access to this email. I would like Wildfire to be implemented. We use the equivalent in Cisco is the integration policies. We have the Wildfire but we are not currently implementing it. We don't have the license to use it, but we are not currently implementing it until we present the use cases that the company gives some value to and they approve the use of it.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"What's most valuable in Tripwire Enterprise is the ability to execute custom COCR rules that lets me fine-tune how I monitor Linux and Windows agents."

"Its reporting features are great. It gives you an in-depth report. Its customization is also great, and it is working fine."

"The most valuable feature is the integrity."

"The most valuable feature is integrity management. I had some discussions with service providers, and they also agreed."

"The product supports different platforms."

"Even if you change a single word in Notepad, it will let you know whether it was added, removed, or modified."

"We use Tripwire Enterprise as a tool to test the vulnerability of a network. That is the most valuable feature of the product for us."

"File monitoring is the most valuable feature of the solution."

"Everything has been okay with the solution. We are using all of the features."

"The most valuable feature of Palo Alto Threat Prevention for our company is the next generation firewall."

Cons

"An area for improvement in Tripwire Enterprise is stability, as my company had stability issues with the last few versions of the solution. Tripwire Enterprise has been a bit buggy."

"A lot of network devices need a custom integration."

"The deployment with certain systems can be difficult and it needs to be simplified."

"The main way that it can be improved is through better reporting."

"Cloud monitoring could be better. It would also be better if the company followed a pay-as-you-use model."

"It needs more local support from the OEM side. It would be great if this can be improved."

"The initial setup is complex."

"The Windows online integration license needs to be improved."

"It's not so easy to set up a test environment, because it's not so easy to get the test license. The vendor only gives you 90 days for a test license; it's a tough license to get."

"The cost involves the price of the hardware, which is expensive. However, most of the Palo Alto solutions are expensive."

"Generally, to deploy it will take some downtime, about a day."

"In Africa, the technical support is probably not as good as in Europe and the USA because it's a specific premium support, partner-enabled premium support and all of that. But it's really good, I don't really have any complaints, it's fairly good. I'll give them 80%."

"In terms of what needs improvement, the only thing I don't like is the support."

"Palo Alto's maintenance needs to be improved."

"I think they can use some improvement on FID."

"The pricing has improved with the newer generation of their Firewalls, but the price could always be lower. In comparison with other solutions, I believe they're quite competitive."
