I have recieved some really ugly posts from competitors about this thread and I am killing the thread. Vendor cat sniping should take place off the list. I will summarize some of the replies I killed. 1. Marketing for this product is touting it as new technology as where it is not. 2. People are concerned about a 3rd party having logsof their vulns. 3. A number of people mailed gushing support for the product. 4. Two people who I think compete with them mailed gushing vitriole. Points 3 and 4 don't really need any comments. Point 1 is a pretty standard observation - marketing is marketing and rarely reflects reality. Point 2 is moot. If someone signs up for this (and they have I assume) they obviously do not care so why should you? -al Alfred Huger VP of Engineering SecurityFocus.com
