Use both of these products in conjunction. As they both have strengths and weaknesses, use the strengths of one to cover the weaknesses of the other. Having two IDS systems, one inside your network and one outside, is like using two different vendors for anti-virus...use one product at the gateway and another on the desktop. In this manner, if one misses something, the other should catch it.

We have budget to purchase an IDS and would like to get suggestions from you fine folks. We are looking at SNORT since it is free (except for the equipment costs) and ISS Real Secure. We are open to other suggestions as well. Also where do you guys have your sensors? We were thinking that having one on the DMZ is probably enough but we want some input from others before we decide.
