Darren, That's exactly why you must ensure that they also have access to reports like ours and the reviews from the Network World guys I am not trying to claim that we are the "be all and end all" of IDS/IPS testing here, but I think that at least our reports provide a bit more of a balanced view of what these products are actually CAPABLE of, rather than some juicy Gartner sound bites.

In your company do you, as the IDS admin/user, have complete control over what IDS systems you test and ultimately choose to bring in house? I bring this up because my group (we are responsible for IDS) may lose the product ownership of the IDS systems and be forced to deal with an in-house engineering group for upgrades and new equipment/products. This group could potentially leverage reports such as this to bring in IDS vendors (see the Leader section in the "Magic Quadrant")that fit the Gartner definition of a good IDS (regardless of how they perform in the real world). Thanks.

It's not the first time that I have felt I needed to take one of their reports with a "pinch of salt" (sorry, make that a cup!).

Has anybody else read this report?, and ifso, what isyour opinion?Gartner... Gartner... These same guys who said IDS were dead last year ? :-) Guillaume Arcas ------------------------------------------------------------- ----------- Là-bas, vers le sud, la plaine s'ouvre, infinie, attirante...
