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.

Stable, accurate, and helps prevent attacks
I'm using the latest version of Trend Micro TippingPoint Threat Protection System. My company keeps upgrading the version. Deploying and maintaining Trend Micro TippingPoint Threat Protection System only requires one person. A thousand people use the solution within my company. There's no plan to increase its usage. My advice to anyone looking to use Trend Micro TippingPoint Threat Protection System is to have a consultant ready for the complexity of deployment. My rating for the solution is nine out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"For those who want a next-gen firewall that's easy to configure and easy to operate, I think you should go for Palo Alto."
"It's very easy to use and configure. What is nice about Palo Alto is that even if you don't understand how to use it, you can just click on upload and upload everything that needs to be blocked."
"I find the malware protection very handy."
"The application control and vulnerability protection are the most valuable features."
"You can scale the product."
"Most of the features of Palo Alto Threat Prevention are alright. I recommend features like content filtering, IP address, & intelligent firewalls. The reporting feature is very good."
"The stability of Palo Alto Networks Threat Prevention is good."
"The most valuable features are that it's user-friendly, has interesting features, URL filtering, and threat prevention."
"A standout feature of TippingPoint is its strong integration with various solutions. It stands out as one of the leading network Intrusion Prevention Systems (IPS) in the current market and is known for its seamless integration with other solutions. For instance, when it identifies a potential threat within the traffic stream, it meticulously analyzes the data. Even in multilayer security scenarios, Tipping Point's network IPS can serve as a bypass for the basic firewall. If a threat is identified by Tipping Point, it promptly shares this information with the other systems. This ensures that they're updated and can employ the necessary solutions from their signature databases. The entire network gets safeguarded automatically. This integration extends to components like security and FX. This linkage streamlines our operations, offering a consolidated point of control for managing threats effectively."
"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."
"The solution's IDS functionality filters the traffic and blocks malware by blocking the connections."
"What I found most valuable in Trend Micro TippingPoint Threat Protection System is its accuracy. It's the best IPS solution in the market."
"The technical support on offer is very good."
"I would rate TTPS's stability eight out of ten."
"The IPS signatures and the IPS database that are given are much better than what is commonly available."
"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."
 

Cons

"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%."
"The solution needs to improve its local technical support services. There is no premium support offered in our market."
"Mission learning techniques should continue to expand and detect unknown threats on the fly."
"We are attempting to improve the use of URL filtering beyond threat protection."
"The documentation needs to be improved. I need better information about how to configure it and what the best practices are."
"Sometimes when you want to group a set of ports, and communicate with Palo Alto, you cannot group TCP and UDP ports together. This needs to be adjusted."
"The cost involves the price of the hardware, which is expensive. However, most of the Palo Alto solutions are expensive."
"There is a potential drawback with the lack of support for the ICAP protocol."
"The solution is pretty expensive."
"I would like to see this solution more lightweight and easier to install."
"I find Trend Micro TippingPoint Threat Protection System a bit clunky, and updating it can be a pain in the neck because you need to do it from time to time, so this is what needs to be improved in it. I would also rather have an all-in-one system that does intrusion detection, protection, web filtering, and also serves as a firewall, and my company is moving to an all-in-one solution, but I'm unsure of how soon that's going to be. Trend Micro TippingPoint Threat Protection System also doesn't have enough bandwidth to handle the required traffic within my company, so it's going to be replaced."
"Trend Micro TippingPoint Threat Protection System needs strong Spanish-language support."
"An area for improvement in Trend Micro TippingPoint Threat Protection System is the complexity of its interface."
"We need more integration. It would be good if Azure IPS and TippingPoint IPS and other products from Trend Micro like their DBI and IWSVA could talk between each other."
"It integrates well but it takes time."
"TTPS is a bit behind in visuals, the UI, and some data elements."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing and the licensing are pretty competitive at this stage. As a reseller, I would like to see the price come down a little bit so I can compete better against other firewalls because we do that all the time."
"The pricing has improved with the newer generation of their Firewalls, but the price could always be lower."
"It is an expensive solution and I would like to see a drop in price."
"There is an initial, expensive investment but the return is good."
"It's not too expensive."
"The product’s pricing is expensive for small companies."
"Palo Alto Networks Threat Prevention could improve by having consistent pricing at system levels."
"Palo Alto Networks Advanced Threat Prevention is quite competitive, offering extensive threat detection and prevention capabilities, though it is priced higher than some alternatives."
"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."
"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."
"TippingPoint is not as expensive as Palo Alto but it's not as cheap as Fortigate."
"It is an expensive solution and I would rate it three out of ten."
"TTPS is reasonably priced."
"We pay for Trend Micro TippingPoint Threat Protection System yearly. The cost increases if you add more users."
"Trend Micro TippingPoint Threat Protection System is an expensive product."
"It's an expensive product."
