Intruder vs Tripwire IP360

Intruder provides continuous vulnerability scanning for infrastructure, web applications, APIs, and cloud environments, with issue prioritization and remediation guidance. It ranks issues using exploit likelihood and real-world threat intelligence, while emerging-threat scans check systems within hours of new risks appearing. Cloud scans assess AWS, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud environments for vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, and exposures. Authenticated dynamic application testing covers customer-controlled web apps and APIs, including OWASP Top 10 checks. Supported targets also include external IP addresses, domains, subdomains, internal Windows, macOS, and Linux devices, and container images. Integrations include cloud platforms, code hosts, issue trackers, chat services, Vanta, and Drata. Its API can manage targets, view issues, start scans, and retrieve results. A free plan and 14-day trial are listed. The free plan covers five infrastructure targets and weekly external scans, but does not include web apps. Internal target scanning is available only on Pro and Enterprise plans. All customers receive live chat support.

Tripwire IP360 is vulnerability management software that discovers and profiles network assets, then assesses vulnerability risk. It scans devices and software across on-premises, cloud, and container environments using agent-based and agentless methods, including credentialed scans. Its application-centric fingerprinting selects signatures relevant to device and application types to limit unnecessary interactions. Vulnerabilities are ranked on a 1–50,000 scale using factors such as impact, ease of exploitation, and age. A web interface supports administration, configuration, reporting, and workflow, with granular access controls and user roles. The product provides open APIs and uses open standards; named example integrations include ServiceNow, Splunk Enterprise, LinkShadow, and RedSeal. On-premises deployments use hardened Linux-based virtual or physical appliances, and scanning appliances can be pooled. Tripwire also offers the product as a managed service through ExpertOps. A 30-day evaluation license is listed at free for up to 100 IP addresses, for businesses subject to vendor review. Paid licensing is quote-based.
