A Good start would be to have a look at http://www.nss.co.uk/ it features a
number of products and very well done.

Cheers

I almost wonder if it's of more importance to review the IDS
collection/analysis engines?

With so much data available, who has time to look at it all, without some
method of distilling it all down to useful data?

Protego (now Cisco MARS), Checkpoint Eventia, ...

are there any others?  There must be.  But with this being such a "new"
model, I haven't seen a lot of information comparing these types of products
yet.
