We performed a comparison between Cisco NGIPS and Trend Micro TippingPoint Threat Protection System based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Intrusion Detection and Prevention Software (IDPS) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."I like the security solutions from Cisco."
"The URL filtering feature and the new locations feature are both valuable additions to the solution."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is its modularity, so whenever you need to upgrade or add another service, you don't need to buy another box."
"We have found the product to be quite stable."
"The most valuable feature is its IPS ability. You are able to balance security and connectivity."
"We primarily use this solution as an application filter and for IPS."
"The security intelligence in the product is the best feature and give us all the information that we need in our network."
"We use the solution for cybersecurity purposes. The tool helps us to identify anomalies that come from internal or external networks."
"The monitoring is the most valuable feature."
"It integrates easily."
"What I found most valuable in Trend Micro TippingPoint Threat Protection System is its accuracy. It's the best IPS solution in the market."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is the central command center, where we can control and manage the solution."
"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."
"The technical support on offer is very good."

"What I don't like about Cisco recently is they keep changing the names, which makes it hard for customers and sometimes even us as engineers to know what is the solution they are speaking about. For example, with AMP, now they call it Secure Endpoint and I don't know if in the next couple of years they're going to change it to something else. They should keep the names the same."
"I would recommend this solution to others for medium, large, and enterprise businesses only."
"We don't like its licensing model. It has separate licensing for all the features. For instance, to get URL filtering, you need to buy another license. Every feature set seems to require another license. Unless you purchase them all upfront, you find some surprises and realize that you can't do that because you need another license. Its logging isn't quite as good as it used to be in our previous solution. We used to have Cisco ASA, and we could view the logs a lot easier than NGIPS (also known as Firepower). We saw real-time logging, but we don't see that as much in Firepower."
"There are some features not found in Firepower, like data loss prevention, and SSO, to have a connection between Cisco and Active Directory which was introduced on other products."
"The price is a little high. It's hard to find solutions that are easy on the budget and strike a balance between affordability and features."
"We would like an option to search through the logs to be added to this solution."
"The solution should contain the sandbox features which we find in Check Point."
"The only thing I think they may need to improve on a little bit is identifying software more correctly when you do network discovery."
"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."
"The solution is pretty expensive."
"It integrates well but it takes time."
"The firewall rules are limited."
"The solution should provide the possibility to mix traffic and the traffic's geographical source to have improved functionality."
"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."
"TTPS is a bit behind in visuals, the UI, and some data elements."
"There is room for improvement in customer service and support."
