    It is valuable software for when it comes to a large or medium organization, since it helps to protect the endpoints, but as the number of servers increases its value increases. However, it is important to keep in mind that when it comes to low end devices, its protection can affect their performance. This is because it is not a software with a very light agent.

    Tripwire Enterprise is great for hosting/data center environments and it greatly helps where console screenshots and reporting fill a lot of our client internal audit needs for security and change control.

    Pros
    Broadcom
    • The incident management piece is the heart and soul of the product. A single area where all data in relation to network and email protection is available.
    • Works well in conjunction with the standard Symantec Endpoint product.
    • URL Protection is advanced and very helpful
    • Technical support is great and definitely the best I have ever seen for a "anti-virus" type product.

    • It allows us to track development changes for engineer accountability.
    • Tripwire Enterprise also allows us to monitor changes/updates being done to our systems in our hosting centers.
    • We use the software to track user access and critical system changes.

    Cons
    Broadcom
    • I don't like that I have to maintain the client and keep it up to date. Updating the client is not a very easy process.
    • Deploying the client could be easier. They have a deployment tool, but it doesn't really get to all PCs, which means I still have to manually deploy it.
    • Because the product has so much customization, it can also be very difficult to set up and understand.

    • In previous versions the management console was a little hard to navigate in some respects.
    • I'm sure this has changed over time but we hope the reporting system has gotten more granular.
    • I really don't have to many cons for this product, I recommend it for every company I work for!

    Symantec Advanced Threat Protection has done a sufficient job at identifying true positives. However, the UI could be improved and the amount of false positives is a little too frequent for my liking

    No, besides to review documentation prior to beginning. That is what helped lead to a smooth implementation

    Frankly, the other products were too expensive to make the change from Symantec so we continued with the tried and true protection. We don't have the funding to move to a more expensive product and the manpower that it would take to implement a new solution.

    Honestly, I haven't used other products to do what Tripwire does, it's always my first recommendation.

    Return on Investment
    Broadcom
    • Some digital assets were lost due to failures to detect various threats.
    • We had to use other products in combination in order to trust that all threats were actually detected, taking extra time. We couldn't use just SATP.
    • Ability to quickly manage/deploy via AD made maintenance of the application itself quick and easy.

    • Tripwire has been a positive business impact for us because of its trusted name. Our customers require software like Tripwire because they know their data and security concerns are in good hands when it's deployed.
    • The ROI for Tripwire is also a positive for our business because of the time and man power saved in due diligence and reporting for our clients' internal auditing.
