Or can I chose either? If I can chose either, which would you guys recommend?</P><P></P><P>Cheers!</P><P></P><P>M</P> Sun, 10 Mar 2019 12:48:03 GMT https://community.cisco.com/t5/network-security/ips-manager-express-or-cisco-security-manager/m-p/2033564#M54563 James.Longman 2019-03-10T12:48:03Z IPS Manager Express or Cisco Security Manager? https://community.cisco.com/t5/network-security/ips-manager-express-or-cisco-security-manager/m-p/2033565#M54565 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>How many systems do you have? If the number is high, the CSM is the way to go. Managing many systems (and keeping them in sync with the same policy) with IDM and IME is a nightmare. But if it's a single system, then the IME is the right tool for you. It works great for monitoring (up to 10 devices) and can also manage them (individually, thats not so easy for more then one system). And it come free of charge.</P><P></P><P></P><P>--&nbsp; <BR />Don't stop after you've improved your network!

There you canfigure the MPF to send the traffic to the IPS.</P><P></P><P>The IME is the tool where you monitor your events what you really can't do with ASDM/IDM. Also the tuning of your policy is much more comfortable in IME.</P><P></P><P></P><P>--&nbsp; <BR />Don't stop after you've improved your network!
