Thank you all for the Quick responses, I have been doing a lot of reading and even more research. I have also contacted a few resellers of IDS products. Has anyone out there heard of iSensor by Secure Works. I have hard a little about it and was wondering a few things. I hear that all traffic goes through the IDS where as the other sensors listen in promiscuous mode. Supposedly the iSensor will capture all traffic. Has anyone evaluated or use the iSensor, I know that you can't really manage the iSensor IDS but was just trying to look if anyone had any reviews on iSensor.

I am trying to implement an IDS and not sure on which brand to implement, currently we use Checkpoint Firewall-1 for our firewall. I have heard that real secure IDS is good for integrating with Checkpoint. My question is does anyone have any recommendations on an IDS that is easy to manage and not to pricey. What I am looking for in the IDS features is to have it e-mail or if possible send a Text Page to a cell phone or pager to alert of attacks, easy to manage, and integrate with Checkpoint if possible. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Dennis
