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.

Protects from attacks in real-time and provides accurate threat intelligence updates
I rate the ease of setup a seven or eight out of ten. The platform functions very well. We need technical support to make improvements to the platform. The deployment takes eight months. We need two or three system engineers and one electronic engineer specialized in Trellix platforms to deploy the tool. We need only one system engineer to maintain the product.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable feature is the integrity."
"Even if you change a single word in Notepad, it will let you know whether it was added, removed, or modified."
"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."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is integrity management. I had some discussions with service providers, and they also agreed."
"The product supports different platforms."
"It has a lot of functions, such as firewall. We are administrators, and we create some rules to protect our network. We also monitor the traffic in and out and have disk encryption on-premises. When we detect malware, we scan for the virus on the PC. We can then delete or block the malware."
"Great monitoring feature."
"There's a good dashboard you can drill down into. It helps you easily locate intrusions and the source of attacks."
"The most valuable features of the solution stem from the fact that it is a good product for dealing with DDoS attacks and for the inspection of network traffic."
"The most valuable features are the customization of the signature and the unlimited amount of signatures in IPS."
"The most valuable features in Trellix for me are the automated signature updates. It is a great and convenient feature."
"The solution can scale."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
 

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."
"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."
"Cloud monitoring could be better. It would also be better if the company followed a pay-as-you-use model."
"The main way that it can be improved is through better reporting."
"The deployment with certain systems can be difficult and it needs to be simplified."
"A lot of network devices need a custom integration."
"The Network Security Managers could be more stable, agile, and work faster. When it comes to instability, there is room for improvement."
"The solution needs to improve the graphical interface. And they had a limitation in some of the sensor modems as well."
"Some of the documentation is not as straightforward as it could be."
"The solution could improve some aspects of detection."
"The platform’s GUI could be the latest."
"There are limited resources for configuration guidance."
"Integration with Global Thereat Intelligence could be better. Also, I think management solutions are end of life now at McAfee. Network threat analyzer may be used for endpoint quarantines. Integration between these sides, as well as endpoint APO, will help you quarantine the risky endpoints."
"The pricing could be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Tripwire is more expensive than Netwrix."
"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."
"The tool is competitively priced."
"I rate the product’s pricing an eight out of ten."
