"Works as advertised but..."

4/5

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Tripwire Enterprise:

document everything the consult does while onsite and get training on the product early Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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 Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Tripwire Enterprise is a great solution for meeting PCI compliance requirements."

3.5/5

What do you like best about Tripwire Enterprise?

Great support from the company, they're always quick to answer tickets and help you get things working. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Tripwire Enterprise?

The interface isn't super intuitive, so either go to a training class offered by Tripwire of plan on spending a lot of time in the manuals at the beginning. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Tripwire Enterprise solving and how is that benefiting you?

I used Tripwire to meet PCI audit requirements for auditing change on the servers and, more importantly, to benchmark their configurations against Tripwire's standard PCI configuration, which makes proving compliance to auditors easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
