We are using multiple AIP module for Cisco ASA 5500 series appliances and we have a good experience with all of them. Cisco IPS AIP modules are easy to setup, configure, and manage. There is multiple tools for AIP management: 1. Cisco IME - FREE of charge 2. Cisco ASDM (with the version 6.X of ASDM and AIP firmware version 6.X and 7.X you can use ASDM for firewall and IPS management) - FREE of charge 3. Cisco Security Manager - Commercial tool In my experience Cisco Security Manager is the best tool for the Cisco IPS AIP modules management. The only constraint is the attack protection performance, which is very limited on AIP modules. The top ASA AIP module ASA5540-AIP20-K9 supports attack protection performance only up to 450Mbps and it is not suitable the most networks as a border IPS. Here is a link with more details about Cisco ASA 5500 AIP solutions for the enterprise: http://www.cisco.rw/en/US/prod/collateral/vpndevc/ps6032/ps6094/ps6120/p rod_brochure0900aecd80402ef4.pdf I hope this helps.
