The product is easy to use and reasonably priced, but the upgrades make the network slower
The filtering rules are valuable. The product is easy to use There is no protocol for VPN in Android. It would be good if the product added a protocol for VPN. The upgrades make the network slower. I have been using the solution for four years. I rate the product’s stability a seven out of ten.…

Stable, accurate, and helps prevent attacks
Trend Micro TippingPoint Threat Protection System is strictly an intrusion prevention system, so it has no other use cases versus a multipurpose solution such as Cisco Firepower Trend Micro TippingPoint Threat Protection System helped my company prevent attacks. What I found most valuable in…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Its support is very good, and it is stable product.​"
"The solution provides feasibility regarding cyber privacy."
"The interface control manager where we can allocate LAN connections to certain VLANs is the most valuable feature. The other feature that's important for us is because obviously everything is remote with MyKerio, as long as the boat has an internet connection, we can log onto the Kerio and get statistics, as well as provide support."
"One very good thing about the Kerio device is its authentication. I don't have a Windows domain for authentication. Instead, I use the Kerio product because it can separate users by Mac addresses and give them IP addresses based on their usernames, automatically logging them in. This makes for a very simple authentication system."
"The installation is straightforward."
"The firewall and intrusion detection features are very useful these days because hackers have a lot of tricks that they use to get into a system. With Kerio Control you can see something that's happening. Otherwise, you have to use other tools to see what's happening on the firewalls. Having IPS in it is quite useful for us."
"It is very comprehensive and simple. It has all the active protections. It's updated. We love that you can set how often it is updated so you can work what is right for you. A large company with a lot of bandwidth can update the virus definitions and security definitions hourly, if they want. A smaller site that's remote, where maybe updating the definitions will eat into the bandwidth, we can schedule those more to go later at night. It's very flexible and works for us in all types of situations. This is great because then we don't have to learn seven different products to be able to work with seven different scenarios."
"The firewall and intrusion detection features are good. It has blocked certain things. We have a lot of blocked sites that the staff or anyone using it, the public, etc., can't go on. It works for that. I get quite a few messages every now and again, saying that a virus has been detected and I can go in and block the user who's causing the problem."
"It integrates easily."
"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."
"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 most valuable feature is the central command center, where we can control and manage the solution."
"The monitoring is the most valuable feature."
"The solution's IDS functionality filters the traffic and blocks malware by blocking the connections."
"I would rate TTPS's stability eight out of ten."
"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."
 

Cons

"The improvement that we are looking for is for when decide to move some part of our application to the cloud."
"I would like for them to add more security features."
"I would like it if the interface section had multiple failovers. Although I do have three connections, just in case our physical cables get disconnected, I can only set up one failover as a backup. So, if for some reason our fiber and our AFM went down together, I would have to have it search for our 4G modem. I'd love to have extra backups running."
"I would like to see them develop a bit more flexibility creating VLANs."
"I have had a few issues with HTTPS decryption. The solution also does not show the actual user's Internet usage."
"The solution's hardware is not that great and could use more improvement. However, the VM software and the virtualized KerioControl itself are pretty good. The software is good; it's just the hardware that needs improvement."
"If I would suggest anything, it would be to expand on its multifactor authentication to be a little bit more user-friendly. They should do multifactor authentications for the client itself perhaps, rather than served on a webpage, in a page hijack, that might be more user-friendly, but I don't have a lot of complaints about it. It's doing its job. You have to have a certain amount of skills to configure these things anyway, the ones that we use on-site doing point-to-point, and we've been tricked up a few times with their interfaces."
"We'd like to have more integrations Kerio Operator."
"I would like to see this solution more lightweight and easier to install."
"It integrates well but it takes time."
"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."
"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."
"The solution is pretty expensive."
"Trend Micro TippingPoint Threat Protection System needs strong Spanish-language support."
"The firewall rules are limited."
"An area for improvement in Trend Micro TippingPoint Threat Protection System is the complexity of its interface."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is a good fit for SMBs because of its maintainability. When you want to keep your costs low, then Kerio Control is a very good solution. It's not an expensive product that is well integrated. It has a complete set of features within it that make it a very strong product."
"There is a yearly upkeep fee."
"I am living in Iran and we cannot buy the product from Kerio because of sanctions."
"KerioControl's pricing is reasonable. The license for KerioControl is annual. It's difficult to specify an exact cost since it varies depending on the number of users and additional software combined with it. For example, a basic box might cover 25 users, but licenses can be purchased starting from 10 users."
"KerioControl's pricing is good."
"Its price is fair. There are no additional costs."
"The price of Kerio Control could be better, it is a bit overpriced compared to other solutions."

"On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the solution's pricing a seven out of ten."
"It's an expensive product."
"We pay for Trend Micro TippingPoint Threat Protection System yearly. The cost increases if you add more users."

"TTPS is reasonably priced."
"Trend Micro TippingPoint Threat Protection System is an expensive product."
"It is an expensive solution and I would rate it three out of ten."
"The price is in a market-suitable price range. So it's not expensive, but it's also not cheap either. The price is a strong point."
