I saw this when PureSecure first released the appliance. I like PureSecure as a "real time" monitor bit find it a tad limited in it's 'reporting' capability. I like it's service checking system and use it extensively alongside the 'real time' view of things but I have dropped the integrity checker in favor of GFI's free system... It's a personal preference thing mostly but I did find, on a couple of occasions, that if there was a problem with the MySQL database on the PureSecure box then the biggest headache was getting the integrity checkers to properly re-register themselves etc. Usually it required an entire reinstall of the system which meant data loss.... maybe I wasn't doing it right, but the PureSecure "knowledgebase" is a little limited too....
I dismissed Sentarus on the basis of cost and the fact that I have a perfectly functional and relatively low maintenance system in place right now - yes, it could be improved and I am always looking for ways to do so without spending a non-existent budget....
I think IKnownot has it about right when he says:-
Loosers and lamers keep away! This is for customers ( so they don't have to violate the end-user agreements ) and potential customers only ( so they can get comfortable with it and recommend it for their workplaces ). And don't ask us a lot of stupid questions, you're supposed to be professionals!
What I don't get about the "sales pitch" is that if this is for home use what the hell do you have behind this box that needs so much security and if you keep stuff that sensitive on your home network then you should probably reconsider how you carry out your work in the first place.... At least keep that stuff on a network with an airwall.... Sentarus is overkill if all you are trying to prevent is your own identity theft.
Don\'t SYN us.... We\'ll SYN you.....
