The perfect IDS is a system with no inside or outside connectivity,
as in none needed not hackable. But not likely, so...

If you happen to have a branch size need, with a 26xx series
with an unused network module the IDS module is attractive.
Add IPSec and it becomes a really attractive solution, as the
tunnel encap will be stripped before IDS look at it.

It depends a lot on the need, and of course budget.
