Greetings,
I probably will open the proverbial "can of worms" here, but...
With the amount of different products on the market and without starting a
religious debate, what would be the advantage of using commercial firewall
or IDS products versus OpenSource ones? I have used ipchains and snort at
sites with over 1000 nodes and it seemed to work just fine. I have also
been at sites that are using Cisco PIX and (can't remember the name) their
IDS. I really can't see any distinct advantage save for budget and
personal preference. Is it really that simple?
Thanks in advance,
- Bennett
