Good threat detection capabilities and offers flexibility for hosting options
As a security product, managing threats is crucial for my clients. According to feedback from my client base, Trend Micro has good threat detection capabilities and offers flexibility for hosting options. It also includes features like an advanced scan engine – those are definitely strong benefits. Additionally, its virtual analysis feature is quite useful.
Subhendu Dhar - PeerSpot reviewer
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.

"A standout feature of TippingPoint is its strong integration with various solutions.

"I would rate TTPS's stability eight out of ten."
"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 found most valuable in Trend Micro TippingPoint Threat Protection System is its accuracy. It's the best IPS solution in the market."
"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."
"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

"I would like the ability to analyze all files in our internal network, at the same time on different operating systems. Not just three of them, but as many as possible."
"The solution could be more secure."
"Deep Discovery is easy to manage, but there is still room for improvement on the administration and operations side. Competing products have a cleaner interface that makes it easier to manage their products. Trend Micro offers a lot of features in one product suite, but it can be unwieldy for the customer to manage all that with a single interface."
"The solution could be more stable and offer more security."
"Trend Micro can improve the pricing in general. There is nothing else they can add or improve in the solution."
"The product's scalability feature needs to be improved, as it is an area in the product with certain shortcomings."
"This solution could be improved with faster technical support and cheaper licensing prices."
"Trend Micro Deep Discovery is a very expensive solution, making it very hard to sell."
"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."
"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."
"There is room for improvement in customer service and support."
"I would like to see this solution more lightweight and easier to install."
"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."
"TTPS is a bit behind in visuals, the UI, and some data elements."
"The firewall rules are limited."
"The solution should provide the possibility to mix traffic and the traffic's geographical source to have improved functionality."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The licensing cost is a bit pricey. We pay a yearly subscription."
"The tool’s licensing costs depend on the customers."
"Its price is fine, but Trend Micro can improve the pricing in general. It is a hardware solution. It is based on the number of nodes, and according to the number of nodes, clients decide which box they should acquire. They have to renew their license every year. It is subscription-based."
