Works as advertised but... **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Hospital & Health Care | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 08, 2015 **What do you like best about Tripwire Enterprise?** Once you have created the rules and are evalauting files for modifications it performs flawlessly. I've had many people claim they did not make a change but when they view the infromation within Tripwire Enterprise the response has always been, well maybe I did after all. **What do you dislike about Tripwire Enterprise?** The user interface is challenging and often clicking on the same object provides two different results. Beyond being inconsistent the documentation and available help is challenged. You can eventually work your way through the interface, the rules, the tasks and reports but it is time consuming ad slow. Working with Tripwire consulting services was expensive and ineffective, I've never seen a consulting organization unable to provide documentation, let alone one that is supposed to help with change compliance. I found myself pushing for answers when the industry standard is to provide documentation for the changes you are making. **Recommendations to others considering Tripwire Enterprise:** document everything the consult does while onsite and get training on the product early **What problems is Tripwire Enterprise solving and how is that benefiting you?** Great help with our ongoing financail audit and the critical control of change detection and monitoring ### 30.
