I was part of a team that evaluated a number of vulnerability management
products for use within a major government agency. The products evaluated
were nCircle IP360, Foundstone, and Tenable's Lightning Console. From the
initial discussions with vendors, nCircle seemed to be very promising, until
we visited another agency that used the product. Bandwidth consumption was
very high, throttling of the tool could alleviate this problem, but
depending on the size of the network, this would translate into an excessive
amount of time to conduct scanning. Also, nCircle was basically an "always
on" product. Scans could not be paused or suspended, short of isolating the
scanner from the network.
In the long run, our team decided on Foundstone, which has been
disappointing since we have implemented it. My personal choice was Tenable,
and I would still prefer it over nCircle or Foundstone.

Subject: Experiences with company nCircle and their IP360 product
<Message to moderator: I cross-posted this message, because it might be
an interessting issue for both lists>
Hello people,
As a lurking list-user I have allready seen a lot of good information on
these mailing lists. But now I would like to fire-off a question myself;
Does any of the listmembers have any experience with the security
company nCircle and their products? Their product IP360 in particular
has my interest.
The SanFrancisco and Londen based company has some interesting products
for vulnerabillity management and Intrusion Detection. I've met with
representatives of nCircle at some security-fairs in the past and they
strike me as very professional and capable people. Also their products
seem qualitative to me.
Last weeks I've followed a discussion on best pen-test tools on these
mailing lists, but I cannnot remember seeing anything about nCircle's
products.
So, any input on experience with their products and with the company
(European office) would be appriciated.
Possible subjects (amongst others) for response could be;
-Easo of implementation
-Ease-of-use
-Support quality and speed
-Missing features / unique features
-Ease of integreation with other systems
-Portabillity to other networks
-etc
Met vriendelijke groet / with kind regards,
Coen Bongers
Security Consultant
