If you can recommend an *enterprise* capable vulnerability scanner (IOW one that I can schedule massive scanning events for a class A *and* class B network and then go look at the results when I have time)
How much of that class A is *actually* used? Your site can't be *that* much bigger than ours, and we fit (mostly) into 2 /16s. If you insist on scanning 2**24 addresses to find 2**16 hosts, that's your business. But you're working 256 times too hard. ;)
Nessus? Nessus is useful on a one-off basis, but I need a vuln scanner that will work in the background, 24/7 and generate *useful* reports that tell me where my problems are. I'm not aware of one that does that that I can afford. Are you?
There was this nice Nessus framework from Purdue, I don't have the URL handy at the moment. Basically had a front end box that load-balanced across a bunch of Nessus scanning engines. Costs twice as much as the base Nessus. ;)
