Hi,

We own their product and use it internally - we have never used their external service.

We are happy with this product and find it very useful.

Thanks,
Joel Rosenblatt

Hi all,



We are in the middle of evaluating vulnerability scanning tools.   I
recently had a demo of Rapid7's NeXpose tool.  Just curious if there are
any other institutions that currently use it and if it met your scanning
needs.  We are looking at their SaaS model for external scanning.



We are also in the middle of evaluating Qualys and was also wondering if
anyone out there did a comparison between the two products.



Again, any information would be greatly appreciated.



Please feel free to reply off list.



Thanks,

Heather
