I see a lot of discussion on this list to be about larger, more established
IDS/IPS solutions.  I'm just wondering if anyone has experience with smaller
commercial IDS devices like the Symantec 7100 series?  If so, what did you
think?  What were you comparing it to?

Many of my clients are too small to afford the more expensive IDS offerings.
And, the perception can be (correct or not is irrelevant) that SNORT simply
shifts the up-front costs to the management phase.  I guess, if you feel
this is incorrect, I'd be interested in your thoughts on this, too.
