IDS: Re: IDS ISS

[Joel Esler <eslerj () gmail com>]

I concur.  I would always go with Snort over ISS anyday.  I've tested  
and ran both at the same time on the same network, and Snort not only  
out performs, but it would be much easier to look at the data and  
configure the IDS.  (Or IPS..  Look into Snort-inline)
