Dee,

 

We haven't moved away from Nessus yet but I'm looking into other
software alternatives.  The issue we have with Nessus is regarding the
turnaround time for support as well as some software limitations we've
encountered.

 

Are you or your organization a Nessus client?

 

Thanks,

Why are you moving away from Nessus 3 or what sparks your curiosity to
look at other vulnerability scanners?  Thanks!

I'm seeking information on good security auditing tools I can use for my
organization.  Our needs include vulnerability scanning, web scanning,
network exploration, and sniffing.  We currently us Nessus 3 but would
to know if anyone has feedback or suggestions on other choices.
