Cost considerations
Tripwire VM pricing starts around $5,800 a year for only 128 assets, giving it a comparatively high per-asset cost. User reviews call the software “expensive” and say ongoing maintenance makes it hard to justify for small or midsize rollouts. Industry roundups also note high licensing costs and no free trial, so the value looks weak next to competitors with lower-priced, all-inclusive tiers

Functionality
Tripwire IP360 delivers network and agent scans with authenticated checks, discovers assets in AWS, Azure and live containers, assigns risk-weighted scores, and can open tickets in ServiceNow for fix tracking. Automated validation of completed patches is not native, so functionality falls just short of the most comprehensive offerings.

Compatibility
Tripwire IP360 installs agents for Windows, Linux and Unix and exposes a REST API that SIEM tools like Splunk can use, although some field mapping still has to be scripted. Built-in AWS and Azure scanning handles the major public clouds without add-ons. A ready-made ServiceNow connector updates the CMDB, but container coverage and SSO options lag market leaders, keeping compatibility at level four

User experience
Tripwire VM offers a clean dashboard for routine scans, but deeper configuration requires shifting to a legacy UI, which reviewers say feels inconsistent and dated. Other assessments note the interface is mostly user-friendly, yet creating custom dashboards and reports takes practice, so teams face a noticeable learning curve. Taken together, the experience is workable but not slick, aligning with a mid-level score.

Customer support
Tripwire IP360 customers receive round-the-clock help and can add a dedicated Technical Account Manager who understands their environment. Tripwire’s research team pushes new vulnerability signatures within 24 hours of each Microsoft advisory, so scans stay current ahead of many rivals. Critical issues get responses within minutes, whereas many competing tools quote next-day tickets, giving Tripwire stronger overall support.
