    Another choice is netForensics (http://www.netforensics.com). We compared
    Private I and NF and chose NF - no regrets about that. NF has excellent
    ties to Cisco - in fact, Cisco is now selling an appliance with NF embedded
    in it. Plus side is NF is very robust, uses Oracle for back end, and
    integrates your PIX logs with just about any other security device you have
    to give you a more homogenous view of your security. Downside is cost -
    it's expensive - really expensive.
