Hello all.

Our compagny is using Dragon (Enterasys) appliances for our clients
monitored 24/7, very user friendly; easy to operate; support is very good
24/7; forensic is included along with a larger number of tools/scrips are
available from the site and from the newsgroup.  Signatures are also
available from various members within the newsgroup, pricing is good.  Some
major changes have been made since the start and are continuing to be made
by feedback from Dragon users.

2 cents worth.

Hi to all of you!
I've tried CA-IDS: http://www.ca.com/
Very nice tool with a lot of gadgets BUT:
Still expensive for some companies (license based on the connections),
Needs a lot of power (CPU+RAM) to take advantage of all the functions...
I recommend you to download the trial and test it yourself... and PLS, share
your opinion after that.

Best Regards,
Danislav Kostov

Crayola,

I recommend either ISS Proventia or Juniper NetScreen IDP. As I am not
with deploying IDSs unless they are high quality and reliable. Otherwise
if you choosed "Sourcefire's, Dragon (Enterasys), and Symantec's
manhunt." For financial reasons. Then I think you may deploy Snort
instead as it is open source, and also sourcefire is built upon snort.

Folks,

I am currently in the middle of an RFP process to buy a new Network ids
system for my company. I have narrowed it down to

Sourcefire's, Dragon (Enterasys), and Symantec's manhunt.

I would love to hear your opinions about these products if you use or
have used them. Anything you can share would be great. I am really
looking
for some nonsales type opinions about how they work in the real world.

Thanks,
Mike
