I looked into the Infonetics numbers, we didn't show up because we
didn't submit numbers for 2H05 due to the Check Point deal.

only.
Eh, I saw a news story out there that says McAfee has the largest
share.
I am sure somebody, somewhere did a report that shows Cisco is larger.
Everybody is fighting for their slice of the pie. :-)

It's interesting that different analysts can all come up with
different
numbers. Here's what I saw from Gartner (May 2006):
1. ISS with 22.2%
2. Cisco with 16.8%
3. 3COM/TippingPoint with 13.9%
4. Network Associates with 12.3%
5. Sourcefire with 8.1%
6. Juniper with 7.1%

Subject: IPS Market Share
Somebody asked a while back about market share and IPSs on this
list. I
just got a copy of a report from Infonetics Research. In short here is
how the top IPSs stack up in market share:
QUOTE<<<<<<
TippingPoint (3Com) comes out on top; they have an incredibly high
percentage of customers running their products not only in line, but
running their default recommended settings of over 800 filters (with
minor tweaks); they have a 33% share in 2005, nearly double that of
their next closest competitor
Cisco comes in 2nd overall in 2005 (just barely) with 17% share; we
estimate that just over 50% (though rising quickly) of their customers
use their products in line with a significant number of filters;
Cisco's
real strength overall though is in their ability to push IPS
technology
through a wide variety of devices beside their dedicated IPS products,
including integrated security appliances, routers, and switches.
Juniper comes in 3rd overall with a 16% share of revenue, but they
have
a very high percentage of customers actually using their products
in-line (second only to TippingPoint)
McAfee and ISS round out the 4th and 5th spots with similar
numbers; ISS
has a strong IDS legacy, and though they've been successful selling
IPS,
their installed base of happy IDS customers, and their reputation
as an
IDS supplier hurts them in this study, and McAfee has established
themselves as a very strong player for high-performance IDS, but
hasn't
been as successful moving their customers in line as other vendors in
this space.
(Source, Infonetics Research, Network IPS Market Outlook Report,
May 17,
2006)
This mirrors what I see in the field as well. However, I think
Cisco is
big simply because of their domination of enterprise network
infrastructure. People buy Cisco mostly because of the brand name.
There is no mention of Snort or Sourcefire in this analysis.
