RE: MBSA scanner

We just finished a long comparative evaluation of Eeye, Foundstone,
Tenable, Nessus and ISS. After much consideration we concluded that
Foundstone fit our needs best, while still using Nessus for bulk scans.
We used to use ISS but switched because the product has not kept up with
others. Nessus is still a great scanner, and you cannot beat the price.


Is there any possibility of providing the results of your evaluation? I am
just about to start the same and I am sure others on the list would find any
product comparison useful.

TIA

Steve
