Personally I have both Internetwork Expert and IPexpert CCIE Security
Products. The are both good but IPexperts is more extensive when it
comes to Mock Labs. Internetwork Expert has more "mini labs" that are
broken up into a big book (Volume 1) with a ton of topologies. The
different topologies are frustrating as you may only take 5 minutes to
configure 1 minilab and have to wipe it for the next minilabs topology.
Internetwork Expert made an announcement that they were refreshing
material. So far they have focused on Routing and Switching while
Security has been neglected whereas IPexpert has actually started
releasing labs for the new blueprint.
IPexpert is much more active in the online community, Facebook, Online
Study List, Twitter, and more, whereas Internetwork Expert is a little
more quiet in that arena. I have sent emails to Internetwork Expert
only to either wait a few days or to never get a reply. I have
emailed IPexpert and within a few minutes either had an email or a
phone call from them.
They are both good for the prep, but I have to say that IPexpert is
MUCH more attentive to their clients.
You don't have to take my word for it though. However I'm sure you
will see a noticeable difference. If you go with both.
