Avast CloudCare vs. Tripwire IP360

Avast CloudCare is great when it comes to ease of installation and GUI. Working inside the web portal is pretty self-intuitive. Some of the issues revolve around computers coming up missing from the portal or from computer jumping sites.

I think Tripwire IP360 is suited for any environment as long as the leadership is willing to support the outcome.

• I find the Tripwire IP360 reporting features extraordinary. I can run various audit and inventory reports at any point since the inception of the tool. For example, I can execute a report on the history of an asset, which establishes a baseline and can be used to support many security objectives.
• Scan scheduling. This feature allows the tool to run independently without human intervention. I don’t have time to manually run scans of different departments. Therefore, I schedule all my audits and check the report the next day. This has worked brilliantly for 3 years now.
• Automated update of the vulnerability rules. Automatically updating these rules and binding them to the scans preserves the tool relevancy during audits

• The base web portal as it is going away at the end of the year.
• Tech help is very lacking.
• Several times computers lost the AV and had to be reinstalled.

• I’d like to see IP360 have the ability to discover additional security appliances such as PaloAlto and Fortinet appliances.

We used to use Norton AV exclusively for all our business and home users, but it got to where it was using a lot of system resources and would slow down some computers. We selected Avast cloud care since it was a lighter weight program and provided great results as far as protection.

I chose Tripwire IP360 because of its flexible reporting features

• Avast CloudCare has stopped one of our customers for downloading a virus.
• Reporting on immediate threats so we could deal with the issue before it infected the network.
• Was alerted of an issue and was able to set a full scan on the entire network with one function.

• The biggest impact Tripwire has had in the organization is risk reduction. Since the inception of the tool our vulnerabilities have been reduced by 40%.
