We are using HP Tipping Points and are relatively pleased with their performance. We also use SourceFire IDS.

We have been running a PaloAlto for over a year and are very happy with it!

We are about to begin investigating IPS solutions for our environment.  So far, we are considering Sourcefire and 
HP/TippingPoint (yes, we are aware of the problems since the acquisition).  I would like to ask the group for their 
suggestions for a solution that could be used for a small to medium sized EDU with 10 gig backbone and 1 gig to the 
internet.  If anyone would like to include their reasoning for their choice, that would be helpful to us. 

 

I would also like to state that any responses from corporate or reseller companies will automatically eliminate them 
from consideration.

 

Thank you in advance.
