Product upgrade chart Due to the extended length of the product testing cycle for the Network World In the Wild IPS test, several of the vendors upgraded their products since we tested them. While we make no claims as to whether or not these new versions would have faired better in our review than the versions tested, we do believe that it is important to note what features and support the vendors claim they have added to these products.
