    Wholeheartily agree....
    Have had several years experience with ISS.
    Snort has been solid here for over two years, updates to the current
    release have been performed since 1.8.7 which have been smooth, reliable
    and very flexible. Upgraded from ACID to BASE and now setting up SGUIL
    again with no difficulties.
    Sourcefire is doing some very interesting and innovative work with snort
    as its detection engine.

    If you plan on pursing ISS look very, very, carefully at the setup,
    restrictions i.e. what parts can be loaded onto a single box and what
    order they need to be installed and upgraded, architecture requirements,
    and how much work it will be to keep it running.

    Have setup Snort on every platform that it is distributed for, in every
    combination i.e. web, db, on the sensor or on another box and have not
    had any issues. You need to consider performance and the amount of
    traffic for various configurations.

    I concur. I would always go with Snort over ISS anyday. I've tested
    and ran both at the same time on the same network, and Snort not only
    out performs, but it would be much easier to look at the data and
    configure the IDS. (Or IPS.. Look into Snort-inline)
