ManageEngine Vulnerability Manager Plus vs Tripwire IP360

ManageEngine Vulnerability Manager Plus identifies and assesses vulnerabilities across a network and helps teams prioritize and remediate them. Its risk prioritization uses AI-based scores, CVSS severity, EPSS and active attack trends. It includes out-of-the-box policies for more than 130 CIS benchmarks and supports downloading, testing and deploying patches across operating systems and more than 1,500 third-party applications. Pre-built, tested scripts can mitigate zero-day vulnerabilities. The product can discover network devices, scan firmware for vulnerabilities and remediate identified threats, but network-device management is on-premises only and requires extra licenses. Vulnerability Manager Plus supports Windows and Linux; macOS support is limited to patch management. It offers a free edition and a 30-day trial with unlimited endpoints. Listed annual prices include Professional On-Premises at $695 a year and Professional Cloud at $895 a year, each for 100 workstations and one technician. Enterprise options are listed at $1,195 a year on-premises and $1,545 a year in the cloud, on the same workstation and technician basis.

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.
