With all due respect I think that's incorrect.  Both Anton and myself
mentioned SEC, others have mentioned their FOSS log tool of choice and
there are numerous others - Swatch and OSSIM both spring to mind.

If I compare netForensics or Intellitactics with SEC - you know what the
primary difference is?  A pretty front-end and perhaps some scalability.
 The core functionality is fairly similar.  And in terms of usability -
well how many hours of implementation and management could you buy for
the purchase price and maintenance charges of most commercial event
managers?

I've used both commercial and open source tools and think that event
correlation/management tools are better assessed on the merits of their
functionality rather than their purchase price.
