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.

Decreases the false positives but storage model complexity hampers efficiency
I recommend it to my customers, but I'm a salesman. I am not implementing it myself It decreases the false positives, so it will decrease the time consumed by the operation team to work on Splunk. The most effective one is the integration with other vendors. This is the most attractive one.…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Even if you change a single word in Notepad, it will let you know whether it was added, removed, or modified."
"The most valuable feature is integrity management. I had some discussions with service providers, and they also agreed."
"The product supports different platforms."
"The most valuable feature is the integrity."
"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."
"Its reporting features are great. It gives you an in-depth report. Its customization is also great, and it is working fine."
"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."
"Splunk is more user-friendly than some competing solutions we tried."
"It is a solution that helps test and measure customer satisfaction."
"The most effective one is the integration with other vendors."
"We are really pleased with Splunk and its features. It would be practically impossible to function without it. To provide a general overview of the system, it's important to note that the standard log files are currently around 250 gigabytes per day. It would be impossible to manually walk through these logs by hand, which is why automation is essential."
"The most valuable feature is being able to take data and put it into other systems so that we could see the output, and to see where we need to apply our focus."
"Because of some of the visualizations that we utilize, we are able to understand strange, unusual traffic on our networks."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to search through a large amount of data."
"The solution is fast, flexible, and easy to use."
 

Cons

"The main way that it can be improved is through better reporting."
"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."
"Cloud monitoring could be better. It would also be better if the company followed a pay-as-you-use model."
"The initial setup is complex."
"The Windows online integration license needs to be improved."
"It needs more local support from the OEM side. It would be great if this can be improved."
"Enhancing the storage model that they are using is necessary."
"I'm not aware of any lacking features."
"The price of Splunk UBA is too high."
"I would like improved downward integration with other tools such as McAfee and other GCP solutions."
"Currently, a lot of network operations need improvement. We still need people to handle incidents. Our vision is to leverage status and convert it directly from the network devices. It would be ideal if we could take action using APIs and API code and remove manual processes."
"It would be good if the solution had an analytics tool that allowed us to analyze the data without writing specific queries."
"We want to have an automated system for bot hunting that enables us to detect anomalies predictively based on historical data. It would be helpful if Splunk included process mining as an alternative option. We have a threat workflow, but it would be useful if we could supplement that with some process mining capabilities over time."
"The solution is much more expensive than relative competitors like ArcSight or LogRhythm. It makes it hard to sell to customers sometimes."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The licensing depends on the equipment, how many devices and the types of devices."
"Cloud monitoring could be better. It could also be cheaper. It would be better if the company followed a pay-as-you-use model."
"Tripwire is more expensive than Netwrix."
"I am not aware of the price, but it is expensive."
"The licensing costs is around 10,000 dollars."
"There are additional costs associated with the integrator."
"I hope we can increase the free license to be more than 5 gig a day. This would help people who want to introduce a POC or a demo license for the solution."
"My biggest complaint is the way they do pricing... You can never know the pricing for next year. Every single time you adjust to something new, the price goes up. It's impossible to truly budget for it. It goes up constantly."
"Pricing varies based on the packages you choose and the volume of your usage."
