Usman Bhatti - PeerSpot reviewer
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

"It's scalable."
"The solution is quite secure."
"The VPN is the most prized characteristic of Trend Micro Deep Security, which in addition addresses all zero-day vulnerabilities. This allows us to confidently transfer our system physically, as it presents to the external world, whether it be an intruder or a hacker, that our system is completely secure without any weak spots. Even if the latest security patches have not been installed or updated, the software virtually covers them for you."
"It is a scalable solution. If required, we can scale it more. That's not an issue...The solution's initial setup process was straightforward."
"It is stable and we have not faced any challenges during the rolled out"
"Deep Security enables us to bridge the gap between patching windows using the Virtual Patching feature. This allows us to make sure full patching is tested properly in our testing environments before rollout."
"It has a perfect SaaS which integrates with AWS, offering flexibility to deploy quickly and easily in the cloud."
"Easy to scale, stable solution for workload and server security and protection. It's easy to set up and has a good ransomware protection feature."
"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 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."
"The IPS signatures and the IPS database that are given are much better than what is commonly available."
"It integrates easily."
"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."
"What I found most valuable in Trend Micro TippingPoint Threat Protection System is its accuracy. It's the best IPS solution in the market."
"The most valuable feature is the central command center, where we can control and manage the solution."
 

Cons

"The price could be reduced."
"f it had the capability of generating retroactive alerts it would be helpful."
"The email relays and proxies could be improved."
"There should be signature-based advanced and responsive features."
"The solution could use more integration."
"The licensing structure could improve."
"There should be more tools to trace back. Some sort of module needs to be included to attach all the things. It should be more stable, and the traceback feature should be improved. There were cases when we got virtual analyzer or CMC errors. We got false-positive malware notifications, but we couldn't trace them. I raised a case with Trend Micro two or three times, but they couldn't resolve it. Their support should be improved in terms of technical abilities to troubleshoot complex issues. They should be more knowledgeable."
"We'd like to see extended capacity in the on-premises versions."
"Trend Micro TippingPoint Threat Protection System needs strong Spanish-language support."
"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."
"It integrates well but it takes time."
"TTPS is a bit behind in visuals, the UI, and some data elements."
"An area for improvement in Trend Micro TippingPoint Threat Protection System is the complexity of its interface."

"There is a subscription cost to use this product."
"It is expensive but reasonable compared to other products by Trend Micro."

"Purchasing this solution through the AWS Marketplace was secure and quick. AWS has good prices for a good product."

"TTPS is reasonably priced."
"It is an expensive solution and I would rate it three out of ten."
"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."

"It's an expensive product."
"TippingPoint is not as expensive as Palo Alto but it's not as cheap as Fortigate."
