Out of curiosity, has anyone had any experience with Cisco's IDS?  I'm
curious how Snort stacks up in strengths/weaknesses including
Sourcefire's commercial products.

When using CSIDS back in 2002, I found it was impossible to determine why signatures had been triggered. Further, it was hard to tune rules (other than by source/dest IP). Things may have improved since then, but I've not heard anything that indicates that this is the case.
