Likes - excellent support (expected) great relationship with IBM.
Dislikes- Environment needs to have policies and a person who will be
able to enforce polices. Technology piece is the easy part.

Hello Everyone,

We recently decided to implement an IDS/IPS system to complement our
existing security mechanisms. I have used Snort for some time on the
perimeter of our network, but found the system difficult to maintain.
What system is everyone using, what are your likes/dislikes, and how was
the implementation? Thanks in advance!
