IBM Security Network IPS Valuable Features

The blocking feature is great. It acts as an in-line blocker. Any malicious traffic that you see or anything, really, it can block the traffic. That feature has an intelligent way of detecting. It has a good software embedded in it, and it goes well integrated with the IBM product. It's an intelligent device that you can write in a simple way and tries to block malicious traffic.

The configuration definition and the policies are very simple. It's very user-friendly.

The XGS 5000 series is suited for our data center and that is really good in terms of the traffic that it can handle and the throughput it can handle - including the volume of traffic, the inbound and outbound that it can handle. The XGS feature for the 7000 series is really good.

The initial setup is simple.
