Hi to all of you!
I've tried CA-IDS: http://www.ca.com/
Very nice tool with a lot of gadgets BUT:
Still expensive for some companies (license based on the connections),
Needs a lot of power (CPU+RAM) to take advantage of all the functions...
I recommend you to download the trial and test it yourself... and PLS, share
your opinion after that.

Best Regards,
Danislav Kostov

Crayola,

I recommend either ISS Proventia or Juniper NetScreen IDP. As I am not
with deploying IDSs unless they are high quality and reliable. Otherwise
if you choosed "Sourcefire's, Dragon (Enterasys), and Symantec's
manhunt." For financial reasons. Then I think you may deploy Snort
instead as it is open source, and also sourcefire is built upon snort.

Folks, 

I am currently in the middle of an RFP process to buy a new Network ids 
system for my company. I have narrowed it down to 

Sourcefire's, Dragon (Enterasys), and Symantec's manhunt. 

I would love to hear your opinions about these products if you use or 
have used them. Anything you can share would be great. I am really
looking 
for some nonsales type opinions about how they work in the real world. 

Thanks, 
Mike
