It is a very, very nice piece of software ... mostly for administration 
purposes, rather than IDS, though (this is the ex-Netsaint, if you remember 
it) ... but as good as it is, it is also extremely complex, and requires a 
LOT of patience to set it up. I am just going through this process right now, 
with its latest release, and I found that I had to break one of my "geeky" 
rules: one HAS to read the manual to get this right ;)
