Would say they are 'misguided', they believe it. But from the different IDS and IPS systems I have tested and used, the IPS CAN stop attacks, however, if someone in your organization starts using a new software, it may get stopped by the IPS. Also, if the Zero Day Exploit is on the encrypted side, like ssl, then no it wouldn't stop it. There is some new technology being worked concerning Kernel Protection that comes close, but still is being worked. The biggest problem with Zero Day Protection is encrypted programs. Host based programs can work, but still believe that as of today it is still going to take a human to ensure Zero Day Protection (provided they have the necessary tools to do it with).

Only way to ensure Zero Day Protection is to use a 'suite' of IDS tools and have an analyst looking at those logs 24/7 to find the Zero Day Exploit. Vendors can state they prevent Zero Day Exploits but to do that you can also stop legitimate traffic. Maybe sometime in the future that can happen, but not today.
