Vincent, The best way I have found is not to argue but to ask for each vendor to provide a "proof of concept" by actually installing one of their sensors on your network. Work with them during the installation, noting the ease of installation. Have them demonstrate how to configure the console as well as how each system receives updates to attack signatures. Have each vendor monitor the same segment, looking to see if one out performs the other. Remember that ISS is software put on your hardware, Cisco is an appliance. If both systems turn out to be equal, base it on TCO. How much is it to upgrade? One vendor I worked with (not ISS or Cisco) had a standard initial price, low annual maintenance, but you had to repurchase the software every three years.

I need answers within 12 hours. Please help me.. Thanks a lot.. Vincent REMY
