I had tested it and here is what I thought; The Web interface was a bit lame ( not very pretty or clean, we like to impress people, management likes "graphs" ). The actual engine was good box ran fast. They have an agent runs on all you hosts, this basically makes a software firewall on all your severs. This is what I did not like, I have no way of know how that agent will effect some of my servers. It has the optional of burning up a lot of cpu. I ran Blackice Dragoon, ISS, and even the cisco IDS Blade for the 6509. I finally settled on Snort, it was free and works just as well, plus it is easier to make custom rules. That's my two cents.
