Improves the threat intelligence gathering process, but it is not user-friendly
The tool is not user-friendly. It is not beginner-friendly. It would be very difficult for a beginner to learn the tool. It will take at least two months to get familiar with it. Building the playbook is a little difficult for a beginner. The vendor must simplify the tool and make it user-friendly.

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.

Quotes from Members

Pros

"Integrating the solution with our existing security tools and workflows was easy."
"The reporting services are great. With reporting services, if you have customers that just visit a URL you can see the result - including why it's blocked and how and how the URL was first recognized as malicious."
"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."
"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."
"The IPS signatures and the IPS database that are given are much better than what is commonly available."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is the central command center, where we can control and manage the solution."
"The technical support on offer is very good."
"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

"The tool is not user-friendly."
"The solution should be simpler for the end-user in terms of reporting and navigating the product."
"An area for improvement in Trend Micro TippingPoint Threat Protection System is the complexity of its interface."
"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."
"The firewall rules are limited."
"There is room for improvement in customer service and support."
"I would like to see this solution more lightweight and easier to install."
"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."
"The solution is pretty expensive."
"The solution should provide the possibility to mix traffic and the traffic's geographical source to have improved functionality."
