Cisco has announced EOL for MARS. I should have seen it coming. This was THE SEM box to use and others reverse engineered it to squeeze Cisco out of the market. There are too many more (some believe better) products out there. Even Gartner reports that it is on the way out.
I have tested live demo products from Nitro, QRadar, ArcSight and RSA and they all have good features.
I don't know how Cisco can let them selves be squeezed out of that huge and ever growing market for SEM or SIEM products.
