High availability, effective VPM, and responsive support
There is room for improvement with Trend Micro Deep Security, as there are instances where installations may need to be redone. There seem to be glitches when working with older Windows servers, such as those from 2003 or 2005, requiring us to uninstall and reinstall the product to resolve the issue.
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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Signatures are frequently updated."
"It serves its purpose and works well."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the virtual path function, which is the reason we chose to implement it."
"This product offers good protection against many types of malware."
"The performance is good."
"The solution provides ease of use, especially from non-technical testing. It's one of the best things. The deployment process is one of the easiest things because we didn't train our on-site consultant. The constant training from Trend Micro's side is that they develop internal causes to understand the upgrade because once they upgrade the platform, they also upgrade the technical person's skills."
"DLP, Data Loss Prevention, and the complexity of how we manage the console and how this client, or this tool, will notify us when there is something going wrong within the server and endpoint, is good."
"It integrates well with the cloud; for example, AWS, and Google Cloud Provider."
"The monitoring is the most valuable feature."
"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."
"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."
"The IPS signatures and the IPS database that are given are much better than what is commonly available."
"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.

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

Cons

"The tool needs to improve its subscription."
"They need to build in a central console because central integration is not very good right now."
"New patterns need improvement, as some new data access points are challenging to investigate and allow entry without detection."
"Trend Micro is not government certified or federal complaint. If they could become compliant/certified, this would make it easier for us to use it for our government projects."
"The situation with the currency in Turkey makes this solution a little bit on the expensive side, and if it were lowered then it would be more competitive."
"Deep Security's reporting functionality could be improved."
"We are not very happy with Trend Micro Deep Security since it is not able to detect many viruses and bugs."
"The solution's reports should include more details of events like device control, live health status of the server, and inventory management."
"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 solution is pretty expensive."
"I would like to see this solution more lightweight and easier to install."
"There is room for improvement in customer service and support."
"An area for improvement in Trend Micro TippingPoint Threat Protection System is the complexity of its interface."
"The firewall rules are limited."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The tool's pricing is quite high."
"Purchasing on the AWS Marketplace is like shopping on Amazon Prime."
"There is a subscription cost to use this product."
"The price of Trend Micro Deep Security could be less expensive."
"Trend Micro Deep Security is average compared to other products on the market; it's neither particularly expensive nor cheap."
"We pay a yearly fee of between $10,000 and $15,000."

"TippingPoint is not as expensive as Palo Alto but it's not as cheap as Fortigate."
"TTPS is reasonably priced."

"It is an expensive solution and I would rate it three out of ten."
"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."
"It's an expensive product."
"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."
