"For a relatively new entrant into the IPS market, its StoneGateIPS-1060 is an excellent value with additional improvements in productsecurity." In the sub-gigabit product category, the StoneGate IPS-1060 had the lowest TCOcompared to its throughput and protection against attacks. At $82 per protectedmegabit of traffic, the product's cost was one-third that of its next nearestcompetitor. In addition, at the multi-gigabit level, the StoneGate IPS-6105ranked second for TCO at only $60 per protected megabit of traffic.The report also highlights the following strengths of the Stonesoft IPSsolutions tested: * Above-average protection-to-performance ratio. * Intuitive and easy-to-use management interface. * Simple and efficient product deployment, configuration, and tuning. "We are very pleased with the performance of our IPS solutions in NSS Labs'product tests", comments Klaus Majewski, Vice President of Marketing atStonesoft. "The results clearly show that organizations should re-evaluate whatIPS products are leading the market. The very same companies that are perceivedas market leaders may not deliver the security effectiveness, manageability andTCO that today's companies need.
