You probably made the mistake of comparing the java-based GUI of our "research" version against our competitors, and didn't realize that the commercial version is an embedded CDROM-bootable product with distributed data replication, alerts, and management, which has an encrypting Windows-32 GUI and a complete set of ID filters provided by L0pht Heavy Industries and NFR.

Making the research version available, as a nice gesture, was probably a mistake on my part. A lot of people evaluate NFR based on the research version (which still is technically superior to some of the systems you listed above) and don't realize that our commercial version is a completely different and much more integrated product. If you'd like an evaluation copy of the intrusion detection appliance, please contact salesnfr.net and they'll fix you up.
