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.

Good threat detection capabilities and offers flexibility for hosting options
As a security product, managing threats is crucial for my clients. According to feedback from my client base, Trend Micro has good threat detection capabilities and offers flexibility for hosting options. It also includes features like an advanced scan engine – those are definitely strong benefits. Additionally, its virtual analysis feature is quite useful.

The solution's current integration is only with Trend Micro products only."
