security/bro is an extremely powerful IPS, but it is also fairly complex to
configure for a given environment. It was developed under an NSF grant by
the International Computer Science Institute at the University of
California at Berkeley (http://www.icsi.berkeley.edu/). The BRO community
support is at http://bro.org.

We used BRO at the job from which I retired last year. It worked extremely
well and commercial support from a company founded by some of the
developers is now available from Broala (http://www.broala.com). Our
experience with the support was very good, but I suspect it was not cheap.
(I was not involved with the procurement.)
