It also has a mode where it just applies the rules which are defined for analyzing the packets it receives and identify any malicious content which is harmful for the system and then alert the user.

What do you dislike about Snort?

Snort can be installed as a network intrusion detection system on even desktop but it requires a lot of configuration to be done before it could be effectively used. The configuration needs to be done in a snort.conf file, which contains lot of properties to be defined. So it requires a lot of domain knowledge about networks for using it. It does not come with any user interface and requires lot of commands to be run and used. It also might give false positives to applications which might have legitimate network traffic and make user suspicious. Thats depends a lot of the configuration done in the configuration file. But the snort website provides lot of documentation and example configuration files. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
