Likelihood to Recommend	Cisco While Cisco Firepower 9300 Series is an enterprise-grade Firewall solution, it might be less suited for businesses with restricted IT budgets. Still, Cisco Firepower 9300 Series meet all cybersecurity and compliance requirements and is the best option available at this moment in my opinion. Incentivized Isabelle Carnel Director Read full review	Trend Micro Great for large enterprises 10k users or more and as part of defense in depth. Medium and small business you are better off looking for a cheaper UTM solution that does it all in one. It comes down to cost, are you willing to fund the cost of breaking out IPS functionality or moving towards a unified solution? Incentivized Brian Hoadley Senior Engineering Read full review
Pros	Cisco Tracking and containing of malwares and potential threats Monitoring over network, users, and appliances All-in-one centralized security dashboard Threat control Incentivized Isabelle Carnel Director Read full review	Trend Micro Tipping point had a very nice GUI interface that sat on top of snort rules. It was easy to access, had nice customization of dashboards and output to syslog for SIEM solutions. It was easy to configure rule sets, allow groups or singular allow/blocks or white-listing. Security rule sets could be tweaked up or down and allow/drops signatures could be configured to help increase performance. Incentivized Brian Hoadley Senior Engineering Read full review
Cons	Cisco Frequent video tutorials about Firepower 9300 Series Flexible subscription licenses Incentivized Isabelle Carnel Director Read full review	Trend Micro Biggest qualms I had with TippingPoint was that it was just a tad on the expensive side for what you get. Nowadays everything has gone UTM in firewalls and they do it all including IPS as part of the basic functionality so really, TP is losing a massive market share. Don't see a future in the roadmap with so many other vendors getting onto the "unified" wagon and adding IPS as part of their service and at a cheaper price.

Return on Investment	Cisco Met yearly compliance requirements Boosted trust in investors Secured IT environment Incentivized Isabelle Carnel Director Read full review	Trend Micro Negative cash flow, positive addition to our defense in depth strategy at one of the largest healthcare organizations in Georgia (at that time).
