Client feedback highlights smooth performance with enhancements expected over time
The system responds to potential threats in real time, which is very important, and the Trend Micro TippingPoint Threat Protection System performs excellently. In Bangladesh, one bank keeps performing with this solution, and I think it will be an example for others as well. The bank wants to protect their network, and this is a cybersecurity solution. For providing cybersecurity solutions, they explore many things. Basically, every kind of BFSI uses a network firewall, which is a very basic component.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The product automatically generated a threat score based on the maliciousness of an IP."
"It's a solid platform and is stable enough. It is not complicated and is easy to use."
"The most valuable features are ease of use and the ability to customize it."
"I like their customer support."
"ThreatConnect has a highly user-friendly interface."
"We have been able to see a return on investment as our clients believe in us more."
"The tool's installation, integration, and playbooks are very straightforward."
"The Trend Micro TippingPoint Threat Protection System performs excellently."
"The technical support on offer is very good."
"It integrates easily."
"I would rate TTPS's stability eight out of ten."
"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."
"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."
"The monitoring is the most valuable feature."
"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."
 

Cons

"I would like to see improvements in the time zone support of their customer service, considering users are from different time zones."
"They should make it a little bit easier to generate events and share them with the community"
"Support is an area with which nobody is ever fully satisfied, so it can be improved."
"I couldn’t get any training videos online when I was working with the tool."
"Integration is an area that could use some improvement."
"It would be good to have more feeds and more integrated sources for enrichment."
"Sometimes, when using the solution, it slows down, affecting our ability to mitigate threats."
"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."
"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 firewall rules are limited."
"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."
"Trend Micro TippingPoint Threat Protection System needs strong Spanish-language support."
"TTPS is a bit behind in visuals, the UI, and some data elements."
"The solution should provide the possibility to mix traffic and the traffic's geographical source to have improved functionality."
"Premium support is lucrative but it is very expensive."
