I wouldn't promote NFR...
They can't monitor much bandwidth...(ie: 100+Mbit)
When I asked about monitoring any amount of bandwidth they sent me to
voicemail and I wasn't called back until the sales associate decided it
was time to check to see if I had received answers to my various
questions. Furthermore, they claim the only way to monitor a decent
amount of bandwidth is to put multiple NFR devices behind a foundry (or
similar) switch, although they don't have true answers on how the machines
coordinate their data when used seperately like this.
NFR also lists only DESKTOP devices (ie: Compaq PCs) on their literature,
not 1 piece of hardware listed was a decent server platform.
I never made it to their evaluation of their product - I find their
pre-sales support to be less than adequate. Currently the best answers
for IDS (IMO) are:
- Internet Security System's products
- Axent's (now Norton's) product line
(both have Windows agents)
- Aaron Schultz
