I've heard good things about a Solera networks offering that combines
full packet capture for a small, sliding window (say last X hours) into
netflow logging for a longer window (say last N days or weeks). This may
be standard for products in this space but that feature got my attention.

It's supposed to add some interesting new features. 

 

We aren't using their sensors, just sFlow and Netflow out of our
networking gear.

 

I haven't used the Fluke or SloarWinds products, but Lancope seems to
have more of a security slant than those products (at least going by the
webpages).

Another one is Lancope.  I don't know much about them, I stopped by their
booth at Educause SPC last month.  The product looked nice.
