Re: NetIQ Security Manager: Is it a good product for IDS on windows?

[jkowall <jkowall () gmail com>]

I would say the product is in the SIM/SEM space.  I looked at it
around 2 years ago, and I wasn't too impressed with it.  The pricing
is also insanely high for the product and features.  NetIQ is on the
expensive side in general across the whole product line.
