Seeking IDS Recommendations

Hi All,

Can you folks recommend a WAN-wide IDS solution? We are mostly a Cisco
shop, so I was considering the MARS system, since I can avoid
installing more IDS sensors by plugging into the Cisco firewalls.

I still need other options. I'm seeking a quote from Sourcefire, but
that will require a sensor per shop - and we have 7 shops and growing.

Here is what I'm looking for:

IDS capability in each shop - sniffing at each gateway.
Thin clients on each laptop and workstation.
Thin client on each server.

Thanks for your help folks,
