Operates in-line in the network, blocking malicious and unwanted traffic
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.

Pros

"ThreatConnect has a highly user-friendly interface."
"The tool's installation, integration, and playbooks are very straightforward."
"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."
"The IPS signatures and the IPS database that are given are much better than what is commonly available."
"What I found most valuable in Trend Micro TippingPoint Threat Protection System is its accuracy. It's the best IPS solution in the market."
"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."
"I would rate TTPS's stability eight out of ten."
"The most valuable feature is the central command center, where we can control and manage the solution."
"It integrates easily."
"For intrusion detection and mitigation, it has helped us in sort of known signatures and all sorts of things. So, we're very happy with the engine. That's the work."
"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

"It would be good to have more feeds and more integrated sources for enrichment."
"Integration is an area that could use some improvement."
"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."
"I would like to see this solution more lightweight and easier to install."
"The solution is pretty expensive."
"The firewall rules are limited."
"The solution should provide the possibility to mix traffic and the traffic's geographical source to have improved functionality."
"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."
"It integrates well but it takes time."
"TTPS is a bit behind in visuals, the UI, and some data elements."
"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."
